7/10
An Okay Film
29 April 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Alien vs Predator (2004) ended with Scar (Ian Whyte), one of the three Predators in that film, dead and lying on a bed in a ship, that is where Aliens vs Pedator Requirem (2007) picks up. Buddy Benson (Kurt Max Runte) and his son Sam (Liam James) are out hunting (before then the Predalien bursted from Scars chest, grew up and attacked the Predators on the ship causing it to crash) when they see an alien craft crash into the Earth, (a few hundred yards, when actually it hits a mountain, then crashes down , looks like some miles) the man and boy get to it in a few minutes but are spooked away by the face huggers. Both the man and the boy get face hugged minutes later.

Meanwhile, in Gunnison, Colorado, Dallas Howard (Steven Pasquale) arrives back just released from prison. He meets old time friend, and the town sheriff Eddie Morales (John Ortiz) and reunites with his brother Ricky (Johnny Lewis). Kelly O'Brien (Reiko Aylesworth) has just returned to Gunnison following a town of duty in the military, she reunites with her husband Tim (Sam Trammell) and daughter Molly O'Brien (Ariel Gade). The Predator, nicknamed Wolf (Ian Whyte), scouts the fallen ship, takes a few gadgets from a few of the dead Predators, surveys the damage then blows the ship up so that there won't be any evidence left. Darcy Benson (Chelah Horsdal) begins searching for her husband and a cop goes missing (killed by the Predator).

All of the Aliens, and the Predalien (hybrid between Predator and Alien) relocate to the sewer until the Predator drives them out and into the streets (including a gruesome fight in a hospital). Several people are killed: Jesse (Kristen Hager), her ex boyfriend Dale Collins (David Paetkau) and two other guys and the National Guard. At the Gun Store, the Predator makes one of his shoulder cannons (both are damaged) into a hand-held gun.

Kelly drives a helicopter to safety (the helicopter crashes into a clearing were they are confronted and the blaster cannon is confiscated). The film ends with the Predator fighting the Predalien, and a nuclear bomb kills everyone in the town (Except Molly, Kelly, Ricky, Dallas) including the aliens, the Predator and the Predalien. The blaster cannon is given to Ms. Yutani (foreshadowing the Weyland-Yutani Coorporation of the Alien series).

I give this film a 7.5 out of 10, for the gore and violence, the film was way to dark! You could barely see anything, much less what was going on, I did like the scene where it showed the Predator world though. It was much better than Alien vs Predator, but not by much, Predator 2 and Alien 2 bypassed this by a mile in the ratings.
