Alien vs Predator : Requiem

Well for those of you who haven't seen the first Alien vs Predator this will spoil it - but since you're so silly as to not have seen it yet I make no apologies (besides if you haven't seen it yet you're probably just one of those people who have assessed it's not really your kind of thing which is totally fine and you probably won't watch it anyway so I'm not really spoiling anything). Anyway to recap the end of the first Alien vs Predator movie the Predator ship flew away and you saw an Alien burst out of the Predator! Wow!

So anyway the new Alien causes havoc on the ship which then crashes near a small town in America somewhere near Colorado. It is filled with Americans.

The basis for this movie is a fight between the Alien that burst out of the Predator and has taken on the Predator's genetic traits versus just the normal Predator. Now silly me. I thought well the Alien is awesome the Predator is awesome - how can a normal Predator even have a chance of beating an Alien Predator crossbreed. BUT I forgot some important things - firstly the Aliens (despite their genetic merging) have been are always instinctually driven creatures, whereas the Predators are higher thinking beings - it's a sport and a challenge to them to kill, Aliens just do it. Predators are very much like humans, though maybe a bit cleverer. The other thing and the most important thing is that Predators are a technologically advanced species and so that gives them a huge advantage. The one advantage the Alien's have is the ability to reproduce and make lots of Alien minions.

So anyway I feel more akin to the Predators (what can I say I like their handsome dreds, and their soothing clicking noise, and their sexy split face thing) and I was hoping they would come out victorious. But of course I will not tell who did!

Other points of note: I love these movies because they don't even need to bother with character development at all as most people get killed. Oh and watch out for the brilliant scene with the father and his daughter - you'll know it when you see it, it was hilarious! Also interesting to note in this movie was the hot blonde chick, took her top off, right by a swimming pool, and yet there was no scene with her dripping with water... even more surprising she put her top back on and didn't spend the rest of the movie running around in her bra... and to my absolutely amazement she actually went a step further a wore a buttoned up denim jacket that didn't reveal any cleavage at all!

The thing about these movies is only people who are going to enjoy them ever end up watching them anyway. So my advice is to watch it if you want to and if you don't don't!

That is all.
