AVPR…um, that’s one too many letters…

My friends, don’t be fooled like I was. There is some advertising for Alien Versus Predator: Requiem. You can even pre-order it! But don’t let these tactics get you! This movie was absolutely positively terrible. I watched it in the theaters this Christmas season (actually, I’m really surprised it took this long to come out on DVD…) and I was so disappointed.

I’ll admit it, I loved the first AVP regardless of its ill reviews. I thought it was a creative way to pull two movies together. There was a plot without the blood and guts. This is NOT the case for AVP: Requiem. Nothing about the cool tribal past, no human-predator relationships and sadly no Paul W.S. Anderson (who, by the way, directed the Resident Evil movies, Mortal Kombat and Event Horizon…basically what I’m saying is the man is a genius). AVP-Requiem is just a blood-bath (but barely) with the bare minimum of a plot.

Do yourself a favor and rent Juno instead…
