Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem

Signs you are in a monster apocalypse:

-Reformed bad boy suddenly returns to town
-Local sheriff appears to be borderline incompetent
-High school girl you had crush on suddenly loses interest in asshole boyfriend and gains interest in you
-Appearance of military/police character who provides both necessary exposition and weapons abilities.

Well let's face it this list could go on and on and AvP-R as it is known in adds and on the internet provides all this and more in the opening minutes. A blast of cliche character development served up as fast as the film can carry it. Not that you should care a lick about any character in this film. You know right now without reading anything I write whether you will see this film. And if you want to see it then you don't care about character or plot not that there is much of either in this movie.

The film picks up right where the last film (yes this is a sequel) left us. A Predator Alien hybrid has just come to life on a Predator ship and begins wrecking havoc which results in the ship crashing near a small Colorado town. Aliens escape and begin doing what Aliens do. A lone Predator apparently back on the home world observes all this and heads to Earth go clean up. One John Wayne-esque Predator coming to eliminate a hoard of Aliens.

If that last sentence doesn't put a smile on your face, then this is not the film for you. If it has you grinning in eager anticipation then why are you still reading, you should be headed to the theater, you won't be disappointed. Its quite an awful movie in almost any respect but it does provide unique fanboy type action sequences with Predators and Aliens killing in anyway you can think of. I'd do a checklist but Brad, the Wretched Genius (Wretched Genius) already beat me to the punch.

I laughed and smiled my way through this whole film and was never lacking in entertainment. But again you know if you'll like it or not and this review can only confirm for those who were interested but hesitant because of the wretchedness of the first Alien Vs. Predator film.
