AVP-Requiem

Rated R for violence, gore and lots and lots of carnage!

I'm not too familiar with the Predator series and out of the Alien series I've only seen the first one and Ressurection, but for this one, all you need to know is that the Predator, while not exactly 'the good guy,' is solely after the Aliens - whether or not humans get in his way is a different matter.

Our characters are typical - there's the optimistic sherrif, the ex-convict just out of jail and his younger brother who is headed on the same path, the younger brother's crush, the army woman just home from duty as well lesser characters that the film don't really focus much on. Why they spent so much time in the first half of the movie setting everything up is beyond me - I was a bit bored there til the action finally kicked in.

Looking back, it sort of reminded me of Resident Evil: Apocalypse with the whole premise of the city getting quarentined after multiple residents mysteriously go missing and later turned up mutilated and the survivors trying to make it out toward safety.

Lots of blood, lots of gore. Predator was pretty cool though when fighting the Aliens. Pregnant women and babies are not safe when it comes to those two!
