The increased gore and violence over the first Alien vs. Predator can't excuse Requiem's disorientating editing, excessively murky lighting, and lack of new ideas.

Movie Info
Visual effects specialists Greg and Colin Strause both make their feature directorial debut with this no-holds-barred monster mash that attempts to set itself apart from the 2004 Paul W.S. Anderson original by serving as a straight-up sci-fi horror scarefest. The aliens (and a predator) have landed on planet Earth, and small-town America is about to become the scene of an epic interstellar showdown. As these two breeds of cosmic killers clash in the small-town streets Gunnison, CO, the locals

Scriptwriter Shane Salerno's dialogue is unspeakable, the visceral horror all too familiar, and the ideas distinctly second-hand.
Top CriticAliens vs. Predator: Requiem is a B movie that truly earns its B.
Ho, ho, ho -- the joke's on anyone who pays to see this.
Occasionally, the filmmakers reveal a cheeky willingness to upend genre conventions, particularly when bending the rules regarding who lives and who dies in this sort of pic.
It may not be classic sci-fi like the original Alien, which it has in its DNA, but it's a perfectly respectable next step in the series.
The action is rendered with such disconcertingly low light levels -- and of course there is heavy rain for the climatic sequences -- that it can be a strain to simply see what is occurring on-screen. Then again, maybe that's for the best.
If this is what the future holds for both franchises, then today's youngsters are welcome to it.
Aliens VS Predator - Requiem is the second film in the over hyped and under performing crossover series, which brings nothing new to the table while tarnishing the franchises' original films.
In a word, repugnant.
blech. What a waste.
...an utterly needless sequel that's sure to disappoint fans of both franchises...
More violent, bloody extraterrestrial mayhem. Ick.
Well, it's official: the Road to Hell is pretty much paved over ... the Strause Brothers ... expressed their [good] intention to return to the dark, scary tone of 1979's Alien, yet Requiem is just about as bad as its 2004 predecessor.
Too underlit to qualify as splatter, too bloodless to qualify as fun, too unaware of its own idiocy to be enjoyed Grindhouse-style, AvP:R is a real education in the finer stratifications of badness.
There's also [in the add'l release material] an informative look at the Predator Homeworld, which is something never before seen in any of the previous franchise offerings.
Does Alien vs. Predator: Requiem spell the end of the dual-monster franchise? Let's hope so
The 'unrated' moniker may lead you to believe that there is a whole lot of extra gore in this DVD version as opposed to the theatrical cut. This is not the case.
i want more aliens fewer people!
Well, there's not much to see here. And I mean that literally.
Un spectacle insipide, ennuyant à mourir et de très mauvais goût
I'm left wondering why I felt like I was watching two different movies that never quite came together as a parallel arc beyond the clunky "They're all fighting personal wars" motif...
Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem is literally shrouded in darkness, and the only explicable reason for this pitch-black visual schema is that the filmmakers understood it was better if no one could see the **** they were shooting.
With a spike in the gore quotient, hardcore fans left baying for Paul WS Anderson's blood after the first AVP may be happy. Those interested in anything more than a barely comprehensible bitch-slap between two ill-treated icons should take a rain-check.
At best the movie's an unpretentious pile-up of B-movie clichés, but why "Requiem"? Time to give it a rest now.
The world's most illogical and boring action-horror grudge-match between two dull trademarked franchise monsters is back on.
A mindless distraction.
