Alien vs Predator : Requiem.
Anderson's earlier disappointing video-game meeting of two of the most scariest franchises in cinema has evolved...and how! Requiem is all that AvP wasn't. It's intense, gritty, fast, relentless...and scary.
It picks off from where the first one left, and makes for surprisingly gripping viewing. The characterisation is not much to write about...since an AvP movie is all about body-count...so we have plenty of innovative fights and deaths, and the ultimate showdown. The Predalien is impressive, and the dark, brooding atmosphere of the entire movie is a big plus to the overall effect it leaves on the viewer. The Strause brothers have done plenty of justice to both franchises, which is notable...since that is where Paul W Anderson had failed.
Watch it at least once. You wont be disappointed.
