The first AvP wasn’t a cinematic masterpiece, but it was a fun and action-packed movie that gave fans what they wanted: A live-action fight between Xenos and Yautja. At the end of that movie, we were given a tease for a possible sequel featuring a Predator/Alien hybrid. Sadly, that neat stinger is better than all of Requiem

Requiem is a poorly lit disaster of a movie that is a slog to watch, assuming you can even see what’s happening. The movie is too dark, which is a problem when the aliens in the film are dark in color and vanish into the background during many scenes. And AvP: Requiem features some human characters who are about as memorable as gray paint.

I’ll admit that AvP: Requiem does include some decent action scenes featuring the new “Predalien” hybrid, but don’t watch this movie. Instead, save yourself the trouble and just look up the six or so cool moments on YouTube and forget this trainwreck of a film ever happened. I mean, the creative team behind the ongoing Alien and Predator film franchises have done that. So you should too! — Zack Zwiezen
