REQUIEM for the Living [Posted on 2008-09-04] First and foremost, I hope this franchise continues. I saw the theatrical cut and I enjoyed it, and this unrated version again proves that the unrated version continues to be the gold standard in movies.REQUIEM has a very good story, and the unrated places more of the theatrical version in context, and whats more fun is we get to see more of the predator's tool kit and his/her/its pack of goodies. Whilst the directors clearly have a favorite version of the predator and Aliens ( more relevant in the case of the Alien with 4 if not more directors putting there thoughts in the canon of the Aliens Quadrilogy). Viewers of the Theatrical version will not appreciate just how much has been put back in, or redone until they see the film, and hear the directors and producer commentary.This is truly a film for the fans, but I think if you love a bit of Horror and Sci-fi mixed, you should still enjoy it.
And if you can't see this film, either get glasses, or fumble for the contrast controls on the TV... the Unrated version is well shot and is in tone with what the Directors wanted. The lights are light and the darks are dark... thats the way this movie was done. I suspect that part of the reason that the creature sequences are allegedly darker is that they are attempting to stop revealing too much, since the creatures are in full frame.
THE DVD:
The Commentaries are the best element. The Directors and the producer give the best information, however, if you want something entertaining and informative, Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff satisfy.
ENJOY
Maybe a good movie if I could see it. [Posted on 2008-09-06] The whole movie takes place in pitch darkness. I assume they do this so they wouldnt have to spend a lot of money on special effects. There are multiple parts where predator is messing around with his gear but you cant see anything, just the light reflecting off his armor.
Becasue of this I have to say that this might very well be the worst movie I have ever seen, who the hell makes an entire movie is pure darkness.
Awful... useless... one of the worst movies ever! [Posted on 2008-09-12] I could not believe it. This os simply one of the worst movies ever. IT's cheap, sickening, useless. IT does not serve even as mindless fun. evn if your turn off your brain, your senses will alert you how the intentions of the producers are fake, from the absurd lack of lightning (where you can't see the fights), to fast editing, through horrible "acting" and obnoxious directing (by two guys!)
It's onet of the worst movies ever, where producers thought: "This is trash, but some people will enjoy it". It's the worst that Hollywwod can offer.
Yes, I'm a sucker, because I've watched it. I did not even rent it, or downloaded it, I BOUGHT the DVD! (because, believe it or not, I thought the fist movies, although completely unecessary and forgettable twenty minutes after leaving the theater, an enjoyable one).
Drawing the line [Posted on 2008-09-22] I draw the line with pregnat(sp) in labor being injected with an alien baby. I stopped the movie right after that. I'm a mother and I went through labor twice. Sorry I'm drawing the line with that. I will not watch that movie again. Luckly I got it OnDemand so I don't have to have the DVD to worry about. I'll be sticking with the first Alien vs Predator from now on.
Alien Vs Predator Requiem [Posted on 2008-09-27] This one is better than the first though the story is lacking in substance and the characters are bland. However I have to say the seeing the Aliens and Predators are a big selling point for me. On Blu Ray i find them much more interesting. Check it out for yourself and decide.Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem (Extreme Unrated Set) [Blu-ray]
