When I first watch the first edition of Alien VS Predator (AVP –2004), I feel that it might be quite interesting as Alien VS Predatorrather than only Aliens in Alien movies or only Predators in Predatormovies. And the most interesting thing is the slogan; Whoever wins… Welose. But the ending is that both Predator and mankind wins as it seemsthat Predator and mankind cooperate to kill Aliens. So, it’s kind ofconflicting with the slogan. In order to provide a lead to AVPR, analien is ‘deployed’ in the dead predator which is carried back to thePredators’ planet.

Alien VS Predator – Requiem (AVPR) startswith the Alien, bursting out from the dead Predator’s stomach and insplit seconds, it becomes a grown-up Alien and starts killingPredators. The Alien then go into an airship and kill the pilotPredator while the airship is going to take off. The airship crash landto the Earth and the Alien starts to breed.

Surprisingly, onlyone Predator is sent to the Earth to fight the high-breeding rates ofAliens. When the Predator finds a clue, it will destroy it by pouring ablue liquid that works like acid. However, it will not destroy the bodyof humans it killed.

As the Predator searches for Aliens,there are scenes of people searching for clues and missing persons whoare actually killed by either the Aliens or the Predator and scenes ofpeople fighting over a girl. I think the scenes are quite boring andthey are not brought in as part of the movie interestingly enough.Thus, it is like one moment, Predator is fighting Aliens and the nextmoment is the boring scenes of humans talking and talking. No surprisesand no excitements.

The war between Predator and Aliens endswhen the national security instructed the residents to gather at thetown centre and assured them of an airlift which will be taken place.Small group of people is not convinced and headed out of town. Insteadof an airlift, an air strike is deployed and the town is destroyedtogether with the people. The only survivors are that small group ofpeople.

Overall, it’s boring and why would the Predator removeits automatic laser gun, which sits nicely on the shoulder, and uses itas a hand gun? There seems to be just a fight between Predator andAliens. There are no purposes to achieve anything, no missions andhumans are somehow an empty vase in the movie.
