Movie Review: Alien vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
So disappointing. I greatly enjoyed the first one and this one was just sad. First off, the premise of the Aliens and Predators having an epic battle in the middle of a city was greatly overplayed, because it was set in a small suburban town. Secondly, there was only one Predator, was who hunting down the increasingly numerous Aliens. Also, maybe I'm a wimp, but I was squicked by the fact that they killed a kid and tons of pregnant ladies. Now, I don't mind a kid being killed if its done for a certain effect, like in Grindhouse's Planet Terror, but in this movie it just felt pointless. And the tons of pregnant ladies they killed really bothered me; maybe it's because my niece is close to being born, but again it felt like it was pointless, there for unnecessary shock. They tried to make it a story point, but to me it felt forced and slapped on.
Conclusion: All in all, this was an uninteresting movie that had a lot of promise and could have been a lot better. Just skip this movie; not even drinking makes it better.
