I thought it was an excellent well done alien action horror film. I mean, what more do people want? Critics complain about the film not being original, well there's only so much you can do with an alien movie. The aliens either stay in space to fight a war there or come to earth to do it. The film was dark and that's fixed now if you get the extended version on 4k so I hear. But as for an overall view of this film, I'm giving it a solid 7/10. Now if you want to see proper sht then go watch Prey and Shane Blacks Predators. The first AVP movie I'm giving an 8 /12 out of 10, it's amazing and has developed a cult following as has AVP Requiem .

If the lighting was better, this movie would be held in higher regard imo

[@cambodianz]

Yeah, this movie came out in the earlier days of digital color grading and like all new technologies, artists tend to be heavy handed in their usage of them. It’s also pretty clear they didn’t have enough faith in the Predalien creature so the brought the exposure way down to obscure it. Definitely demerits the movie in many ways. There’s a dude on KZbin who brought some of the exposure back while maintaining contrast and it looks so much better, the creature design is really solid too. Fox really kneecapped themselves with the visuals of this movie.

[@Valkinsenn]

If the lighting was better... it would've still got dunked on pretty hard. Back in its day, this movie was so badly written, so pointlessly dull and bleak, and pissed away so many golden opportunities for a truly compelling story, that it basically torpedoed not only its own crossover franchise, but left both its parent franchises on life support, too. Whatever lighting it may or may not have had made absolutely zero difference.

[@Valkinsenn]

@@johnnyjohn-johnson7738 I personally hate it because it actively and gleefully pisses away every opportunity to have stakes, tension, and characters worth caring about in favor of mindless, pointless carnage and gore. The movies whose namesakes it absolutely _doesn't_ deserve (Alien and Predator alike) were far from that. There was a point to every drop of blood spilt. They respected their audiences, treated them like thinking, reasoning adults, and were made with passion and sincerity. This movie was not. Plain and simple. That's why I hate it so much. And on a minor note, it actually physically hurts both my eyes and my head to watch it for any real length of time due to a combination of bad lighting, camera work, editing, and color grading. But, hey, if you like this movie, that's perfectly fine with me. I don't mind either way.

[@todareistodomyfoot8403]

Bullshit, this was an good proper alien movie, everyone complains about the lighting but Aliens was just as dark but of course the leading character was a tranny. The AVP movies are some of the best modern alien films every made and of course P1 and P2 are both amazing too. How could anyone not like this movie, what were you expecting "Sherlock Homes meets Einstein? It's got everything a brother relapsed from prison, a beautiful small town police force, martial law, and there's even a teen romance in there. In the end it's the government that turns out to be the coldest of the lot as the town is destroyed with a small nuke in order to take care of the alien problem. The lighting much better on the 4k version or at least you can fiddle with a few knobs to make the lighting better.

The Predator trying to hunt down the exacted aliens. We get to see the Predator working on his ship and the aliens exiling it. And I love the blue acid that he used to destroy any evidence.

AVP Requiem is a textbook example of not even trying. Piss poor lighting aside, it doesn’t try to make an interesting story, it doesn’t even try to make any interesting characters, and most of all it barely even tries to make use of the AVP concept. I mean seriously, who looks at the Aliens and Predators and instantly thinks they’re perfect for a teen slasher movie? That’s not what these franchises are known for. Say what you will about the first AVP movie, but at least there was some genuine effort being put on screen, even if the execution was a bit shoddy. And what’s more frustrating, is that the Brothers Strause had some very interesting ideas for a proper AVP movie. Like for instance they wanted it to be set in space, and have space marines decked out in Predator armor and gear, and battling against a group of Predators and a flying Xenomorph king. That would’ve been cool to see. It’s just a shame that the studio executives couldn’t even be bothered to green light that interesting, and instead they settled for Dawson’s Creek guest starring the Aliens and Predators. Now I know people tend to diss on Brothers Strause for essentially burning down the AVP concept, but I would like to point out that it isn’t entirely their fault.

There is source material to make Aliens on earth for some reason they always chose to ignore the graphics novels.

AVPR is basically a Sci Fi original with a high profile IP.

[@alexgarcia9070]

I remember actually having fun as a kid watching this in the theater, even if it was dark af 😅

[@orinanime]

Nah. I'd rather watch this over Prometheus, Covenant, The Predator, and Resurrection

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

This movie is ridiculous for what could have been from a major film division. But compared to what we got from 'prey' absolute disaster to me, a predator not even loaded up because it's the past is crap.😂❤🙊👹👹💩

[@Scuba128]

I actually liked this one for a while, but the hospital bit with the maternity ward was always tough to take and impossible after I became a father.

[@ryanmalack2557]

I saw a Article Recently that the Director of Alien Romulus and the Director of Prey are talking about making a AVP 3 together so just wanted it to be known we may be getting another AVP Film in the Series. I also thought that AVP R sucked and it was worse AVP. I think if it wouldn't have been such a Dark Film it might have been a bit better but it still would have been the worst Film in the Series

[@juliangonzalex3964]

This was also released Christmas time in 2007.

[@neyaralbator1834]

I absolutely love that movie 😊. That's why it’s important to have differents movies to watch.

[@smackers1514]

I remember seeing this movie in theatre's as a teen with my parents and really enjoyed it.

[@kevinwr7093]

I tried watching the movie again on a streaming platform recently to see if they fixed the brightness; they did not. I had to shut the blinds and then wait until the sun set for me to watch it.

[@killerninjakitty815]

Thanks for the video I think it's still the idea still has possibilities either as a survival horror or a good ol sci fi action. It was too dark 2d as well

[@TheGeekyAmreeki]

I think it's amazing to be honest. Just good violent fun.

[@nicocancilla8386]

That’s because you don’t know better.

Having Shit taste is your god given opinion

[@permquestor218]

@@TheGeekyAmreeki it has Crappy writing, but I do admit it's entertaining to watch

[@El-Duderino-His-Dudeness]

I hated it when I first saw it because it was dark and impossible to see. After seeing it on bluray, I came to appreciate certain qualities, like how committed they were to shooting it in the rain. After seeing Romulus, well, unpopular opinion, I think I like it more than Romulus. Romulus became so formulaic after the first 30-40 minutes. At least this movie was different. My dream movie though would be, get Neill Blomkamp to directed an AVP reboot in space.Either on a space colony or another planet.

[@ascensionindustries9631]

The original AvP comic by Dark Horse should have been used for the basis of the movie. That would have deffitely set up this crossover for a more successful run.

[@SkankHunt-yo5on]

ALIEN 3 IS by FAR the WORST ALIEN MOVIE POSSIBLE. REQUIEM IS A MASTERPIECE in comparison.

[@demonbadger86]

"See! No monsters! AH AH AHHHHHH!"

[@julietlima5564]

The more I watched this, the more I have grown to like it. Mainly I like the Wolf Predator. That Predator is the John Wick of the Yautja.

[@LukeBroadhurstfilm]

Hey Jo, The film wasn’t intended to be as dark as what we got. I’ve spoken with the DOP, and second unit DP (everything with the creatuins while Dan shot the lead actors) did not use appropriate lighting on set in relation to the film stock. There was a printing issue with the DVD that was slightly fixed in the blue ray release to a mild extent but not to how Colin and Greg wanted. Ultimately fox screwed the print. I did however encourage Dan and Colin into restoring the films image integrity as we saw in the trailer, which Dan gave some thought to, but unfortunately the Greg and Colin decided not to persue this. The directors have went onto say they never had the opportunity to approve the films master and made the discoveries upon receiving the DVD and blue ray release. While Dan revisited the film recently (to judge whether there is information that can be restored in colour correction), Colin has not since 2007.

[@cambodianz]

Hard disagree. This movie is leagues better than Resurrection and the first AvP movie. It absolutely has its problems that frustrate the hell out of me (poor color grading/exposure and the Archie Comics teenagers subplot), but inside it harbors a very fun, mean spirited R-rated monster flick. 7/10

[@angellight495]

It did give us one of the best laughs in cinema history though: “What? The government doesn’t lie to people!” I saw it in theaters and the entire audience was ROLLING with laughter when she said that. 🤣🤣🤣

[@StarshipYorktown]

AVP: Requiem is the only film I ever walked out on at the cinema. I lasted 14 minutes. Nothing could save that film.

[@mateofatt6454]

I liked it more than Alien Romulus

[@lindseykipp191]

Not gonna lie, Adam Baldwin showing up would have been outstanding

[@thenerddungeon]

I liked that they leaned into the horror element, the action was great... but that fricken lighting tho

[@artosin]

Only the Alien, Predator, Weyland Yutani scenes, action scenes are worthy. The Unrated Director's Cut.

[@JurassicKM]

Is it the worst in either franchise? Easily. Will we ever get another entry? If we do, it probably won't be a sequel. With the success of Prey and early buzz being mostly positive for Romulus, I'd be more surprised if they DIDN'T give AvP another go.

[@TH3DRUMM3RB0Y517]

Wolf is a peak Predator, AVP 1 were youngbloods going through the warrior trials. Inexperience vs experience. Wolf had massive experience dealing with Xenos so yes they would be nothing but cannon fodder.
