My Revew: AvP-R

hey all, I have promised to give my revew of Aliens vs Predator-Requiem, and here it is.

I got the AvP-R Special Edition DVD. it costed $24.99 for the DVD and was a good buy...

The film:

when I watched the film I ignored all Critical Revews of the film,Upon vewing it I felt exited and uneasy. wich is good for me, the film was verry well made and I find the exploration of the Alien and Predator Mythos verry settling. but still left alot of mystorys for the two creatures. I also felt a great sence of Armegedon, or near-Apocoliptic feel to the film. the film's gore, violence, and frequent gut wrenching scenes gave the film a well deserved R rating as opposed to the PG-13 rating its Predecessor had. unlike most people, when it came to AvP-R I wasn't conserned for the Human charactors as the Alien's and Predators are the real stars of the film. and I was realy enjoying seeing the human's getting chopped to bits. the human charactor's acting was shitty to a dagree. however as stated I don't think I realy cared for the Humans. the Alien and Predator's screentime increase was well enjoyed by me. the increase gave us more battles, and great develoupment for the true stars of the film. Wolf and the Predalien.

The Darkness:

upon vewing the film I remembered alot of fans were going on about the film being too dark. I vewed the film and I found no problem with the darkness, as the Dark feel of the movie is intentional, wich alot of folks don't seem to get.

the film was made to be dark because the directors wanted to use the "Less is More" feel for the movie. also most of the scenes where made in not so brightly lit areas. I found this approach as a good move. it gives the film a more dramatic, and horrific feel. however as some would dissagree, I would simply advise one to simply darken the room before watching the film. this will possibly help you enjoy the film. unless your just don't understand the approch the directors wanted. however if you feel the film is to dark, might I simply suggest increasing the contrast to 70% or 3 in 4 Quarters.

The Alien Design:

one thing I noticed about the Alien design is that the Drone's design is that they brought back is the Boney ribbed crests to the Alien's head. I also noticed that the Alien's had more personality. Particularly the Predalien.

The Predalien-Queen "Chet":

The Predalien, is possibly the most interesting addition to the franchise. particularly the fact that its a Young Queen makes it an interesting beast. as I watched this beast roam around killing, I noticed it had a Personality of its own. particularly that it would kill more like a Predator then an Alien. infact, 70% of its screen time involving it killing seems to give the creature more of a Predator-like Personality, Snaping the neck of a nurse, and using its bare hands more often then claws and jaws. infact in one scene when she was in the baby room, it seemed to laugh at the infants crying from its presence. when I watched that scene I thought the Predalien would kill the infants. however it just seemed to laugh at them and move on.

the Predalien-Queen's reproductive means was... akward to me. is she a Lesbean? I thought when I saw her go only for women. as I watched her go for the Pregnant woman I wondered if sence she was pregnant, and women are a source of fertilaty maybe the Predalien seeked out women particularly pregnant women because they are more fertile so they can hold more embros.

The more I watched the Predalien, the more I wondered on how cool she realy is. particularly the fact that she bitch slapped one of her own drones. wich is a great show of acting by suit actor Tom Woodruff jr. the Predalien is a great charactor. and I love her. however I was particularly curious for the fact that she lacked acid blood. the Pregnant Woman shot was pushing the limits as I chunked my chicken at the scene. wich I wasn't ready for. finaly, the Predalien scores well with me.

Merseless Hunter, THE WOLF:

The Wolf was a great charactor. showing more of the Jungle and City hunter's feel. mainly lossing the bulk like the Preds had in AvP. also if one listen's carefully the scene when Wolf finds one of the Dead Predator's on the ship, you can hear him, in his own native toungue, speak. although its drawned out by its growling. Wolf also seemed show more in comon with a hitman then a Hunter. also thanks to his suit actor Ian Whyte, he acted alot like Keven Hall's Paformed Predators did in movement. particularly when he removed his mask.

Wolf's use of Duel Plasma casters where welcome in my book. it just gives him more spunk. Wolf also had an interesting mask. looking alot more like the City hunter.

Final word:

over all I give the film a 9/10. the film was good and seem to be getting bad revews because people just can't see a good film when they see one. the film also has nice aspect of the creature charactors. human charactors were good. particularly the lead female charactor. having alot of homage to Ripley.
