Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem


The good thing about this film is that it makes Alien vs Predator look better. As with the earlier film, there is little effort to humanise the characters. It has been rated as highly as a B film, but I do not think it would have been good enough to even reach that standard.

The biggest plot hole is why the Aliens invade a town when they land in a forest full of wildlife to infect.  As with the earlier film, the time for the face-hugger to fall off is much shorter than the original film, along with the gestation of the chest-burster and the time taken for it to reach maturity.

If you want to watch Aliens vs military forces, yes, watch it. If you want to watch Aliens fighting against Predators, watch it. But in either case, switch your brain off.
