Alien vs Predator : Requiem (Movie Review)


















everyone knows the story behind the alien and predators franchises, they both started with solid films and as time progressed the story and continuity behind them specially in the case of the alien sequels a bit convoluted.

i admit to kind of liking a bit the first alien vs predator movie even though the second creature was outnumbered pretty much and i didnt find believable of the predators teaming up with humans, since i thought they were pretty much lone hunters.

the film starts with the end of the previous one a alien hybrid bursts from a predators chest, and after it grows in a matter of minutes takes out almost all the ocupants of the ship and only one hunter responds the distress call and lands on earth to clean up the mess and exterminate the alien hybrid.

a general question concerning this and the first movie of this short franchise is why put so much focus on the humans, since the alien and predators are the protagonist of the films?

theres not much backstory to the human characters and they seem bland and cliche, defying previous concepts of their respective films. making me want the movie to end faster since its so slow at its pace.

my general consensus is dont see the movie even if youre interested in seeing how bad and stupid it is.
