AVP Aliens Versus Predator Requiem (2007) 6/10

Starring : Steven Pasquale, Reiko Aylesworth, John Ortiz, Johnny Lewis, Ariel Gade, Kristen Hager
Director : Colin & Greg Strause
Running Time : 94 mins

Following directly on from AVP, one of the Predator’s has been infected by an alien, which bursts out of him and kills the crew of their ship. The ship crash lands in a small American town, where the aliens start wrecking havoc on the inhabitants, whilst the last remaining Predator on board tries to hunt down the evil creatures and destroy them before the town is destroyed by the aliens – or indeed by the US government itself!

This movie runs like a cross between The Faculty and Rambo, with monsters thrown in for good measure. Unlike all the other Alien or Predator movies, I really didn’t care about the characters, all of whom lack... well, character really. Hopefully the powers that be will decide to end the franchise here, thought I’m sure they’re already planning AVP3!
