Editorial Review:

For those who found 2004's Aliens vs. Predator too lightweight in the gore-and-guns department, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem offers a marked improvement in both categories, as well as a respectable amount of rumbles between the title extraterrestrials. Set in the 21st century (which predates the story to all of the Alien features), Requiem sends a crippled Predator ship crashing to Earth in a small Colorado town; unbeknownst to the locals, the craft is loaded with H.R. Giger's insectoid monsters, which make quick work of most of the population. As the human cast is slowly whittled to a few hardy (if unmemorable) souls, a Predator warrior also arrives to complicate matters and do battle with the Aliens, as well as a ferocious Alien-Predator hybrid (dubbed a Predalien by the sci-fi and horror press).

Visual-effects designers and music-video helmers The Strause Brothers (who make their feature directorial debut here) keep the action on frantic throughout, which is wise, since the dialogue and characters are threadbare at best; that should matter little to teenage male viewers, who are inarguably the film's key audience. Fans of the Alien franchise, however, may find the offhanded nod to the series' mythology given during the finale its sole saving grace. --Paul Gaita, Amazon.com

And yes, the story is a little on the poo side but is adequate fare considering the other franchise films. The action is cool and the film as a whole seems a good step up from the drivel in AvP. Here's hoping the next film raises the bar on all fronts as... more info

• Oh No
  Yep. I gave this a try in the sincere hope that the majority were wrong. Or maybe it was because I thought it couldn't really be that bad. Could it? Oh yes. Shot almost entirely in the lowest light possible two of the finest beings created by Hollywood have yet again been served with an utter heap of tripe. The Predator's come out best but the 'PredAlien' is ridiculous. There is no doubt in my mind that there is a good film to be made from these two franchises combining but it needs someone to do it with... more info

• all together
  this is better then part one as there is more alien and predator action with in the 1st ten mins of the film.but i say if your going to get one get all alien films and predator films just so you can look back and watch the rest b4.

• This is much better then AVP 1
