Taking place after the first movie,
Aliens vs. Predator, AVP2 Requiem begins with one of the Predator
ships leaving Earth and carrying the body of one of the Predators
which was impregnated in the previous movie. Although it might help
with continuity, you do not need to know what happened in the
previous movie.
Unbeknown to the other Predators, an Alien bursts
from the body of the Predator, creating a new hybrid alien with
attributes of both species. Causing chaos on the ship, it crashes in
Colorado spawning more aliens and forcing a veteran Predator to
leave his home world to battle these dangerous hybrid creatures.
Although lacking the original suspense of the original Alien movie,
this movie is more focused for Predator fans as the death count
increases in this classic Science Fiction horror movie which stars
David Paetkau, John Ortiz, Johnny Lewis, Reiko Aylesworth, Sam
Trammell, Shareeka Epps and Steven Pasquale which is directed by
Greg Strause Colin Strause.
The movie is a classic Predator movie
and may not cater for everyone's tastes, however if you enjoyed the
original movie or the Predator franchise than this will be right up
your alley. Presented in glorious 16:9 widescreen which was quite a
dark film and Dolby Digital 5.1, you really need to play this film
loud to enjoy it. Some interesting commentaries by the Directors and
writer but nothing too worthy.
