There is actually a behind the scenes video in which a cameraman says quite literally; "Hang on I'm getting some real dark pictures here" to which someone then says; "Shut up dave". I hope Dave got to work with a less shitty and more competent film crew.
I remember renting this DVD and thinking something was wrong with my TV because it was so dark. Half of the time I couldn't see what was happening at all
And then Alfie kills booth with kitten gun and says "there can be only one ultimate ET", and he slowly looks behind and sees the ET saying "et, phone, let's fucking fight!".
Oliver Haugaard Mortensen That commercial would actually be less stupid than whatever the hell that Kylie Jenner thing is. BTW, what parent names their daughter Kylie? To quote Tina Fey/Liz Lemon, "Kylie great, she can strip her way through community college.".
So have you taken the red pill Bissy? Though I have to believe that an Alien would just use that Pepsi to wash the taste of Kylie Jenner out of its mouth, who knows where she's been after all...
The Predator in this movie is named Wolf, after a character from Pulp Fiction. On his mask, there's something written in their language which translates to, "Not for glory. Not for honor. Not for the hunt. But to clean up the mess." Probably the most interesting and competent thing the filmmakers did.
100% accurate, this was the darkest movie I have ever seen. There were so many moments where I had no idea what was going on because it was all in the shadows.
I mean how could they possibly show such gruesome scenes of the kid and the pregnant lady In the effort to show how scary and violent the aliens are...they just ended up making it extremely disturbing and stupid to watch
I think the movie was realsed on Christmas because I guess it was 20th Century Fox's way of saying hey Merry Christmas Everyone this is your Christmas gif but instead of coal we got shit and the shit was this turd of a movie
I remember seeing this film somewhere around 11,12 years old-ish and being utterly disgusted and terrified about the fact that I saw this Alien-Predator Hybrid lay eggs in a pregnant women, on from that day forward to hate this movie so freaking much! The whole main plot about the pizza delivery guy getting some pussy-LIKE WTF!? ALIENS v PREDATOR:REQ...GAH-BAGE!
I also watch it when I was young (I watch AVPR before I watch AVP) and I remembered how dark the movie was. I can't see the Predalien very well that I thought it was just an ordinary Alien until the end where I can barely see its mandibles.
I first watched the movie, when I was around 8 or 9 years old because my father watched all kinds of movies with me, including horror (except the Zombie genre) to toughen me up or so? And I loved the movie, besides getting a bit disturbed for a few weeks. In retrospective, it endet up being my favorite movie from the A&P franchise. I am honestly kinda shocked right now, what a bad resonance the movie has gotten, because I loved it. I loved it because it was so gory, dark, horrifying and action stuffed especially, when comparing it to the first part. I probably was just too young to recognize how bad the rest of the movie (the characters and the teen stuff) is, because on one hand, I just doesn’t watched RUclips and any movie criticism back in the das and formed completely my own opinion without letting an influencer influence my opinion and on the over hand I just wanted to see people get ripped apart, Aliens get executed and the awesome wolfs-predator get challenged by the threatening new predator killing Predalien. Maybe I‘ll do a rewatch of all the movies to form a updated opinion.
@@LittleCatProductions He looks a lot like an older version of the annoying sidekick guy from the second Transformers movie. I wouldn't be surprised if they were related.
Madeus Gerstenlauer then they become best friends and one dies and then the alive one is super sad so he sets out to form a team with Jason and micheal Myers and leather face to completely merc on some fuckers
The "Choppa" scene in the first Predator was executed so damn well! The timing and tone of the music, Arnie's wound (props to the makeup fx team), the low shot that depicts struggle and vulnerability, and of course Arnie's famous line "GET TO THA CHOPPA!" - Damn, man. No wonder this was one of the most iconic scenes in Pedator! Can't find movie magic like this anymore... it's all about money and instant gratification.
Aaron James Cameron is co-writing the scrips too. They have been writing the scripts for a few years now, so maybe they'll be good or even great. I guess we'll have to see 👌
Alien settings: Gritty spaceships, harrowing derelict planets Predator settings: Sweaty atmospheric Jungles and a Sweaty City, technically a Concrete Jungle. AVP 1 Setting: Mysterious Antarctic Mayan Temple, however that works. AVP Requiem Setting: *Some suburbs and a hospital but you can't even see them because there's no light.*
I wouldn't mind that. I enjoyed the last movie, Predators. I don't understand why people hated it. I thought it was a better faithful sequel than Predator 2.
thi nga pha it's been pushed back to the beginning of next year. so In true RUclips fashion the reviews and tributes (honest trailers, EWW) and such will release right before :)
dude if this movie wasn't so fucking dark I feel like it could have been much better. 50% of it the viewer is like squinting. I like the premise, its just kind of unnecessarily gross at times and you can't really see the aliens
Lord Crow Yeah I like to watch AvP. Not a great movie but I enjoy it. This I saw once and wondered why I stayed to the end. Won't watch again. It's horrendous.
^^ Just like how Zombies on Current Age, I find boring Everyone does the same That is why I am interested in some Historical Era type situation where Zombie Outbreak occurs, so looking forward to see that *Kingdom* Show
This movie for me was just sort of "meh" until they got to that scene with the pregnant women. At that point I was just all "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!???!!!"
chris : (laughs loudly) starlord : thats a fake laugh. chris : its real!!!!! starlord : totally fake. chris : that is the most real, authentic, hysterical laugh of my entire life.
LMAO I knew Chris would get pissed at AVPR's "Get to Da Choppa!" reference hah! Arnold's delivery STILL owns. Honestly, I thought this was a Hilariocity worthy film. The ONLY good actor in the film was the cop.
The cop was actually played by John Ortiz, who played the evil drug dealer in Fast & Furious 4. As mid as the Fast Saga is, especially now, I can safely say that any of those movies are more worth his time compared to AVP:R.
Memorandom I saw that shit as a child... But I didn't remember it. That is because the brain sometimes eliminates bad experiences or memories to protect itself from emotional harm/scars.
Tamahj Jamison i hated that scene so much, because it's not just one pregnant woman going to have a baby in that moment, it was dozens. Sorry for my bad english.
They're completely different though, Alien 3 is a dramatic reflective film, it's a conclusion to the series. AVPR had cool kills but the characters were bad, the only likable character was the cop. A3 was deeper by far.
Alien 3 tells you early on the prison is full of murderers and rapists and that Ripley is going to die so you don't care about who lives or dies. Add the fact the alien isn't intelligent like in the other movies and there is nothing to invest in with that film.
I don't know why every youtube movie reviewer seems to think they need a picture of their face pulling a funny expression in every thumbnail now. Just seems to be a trend everyone is copying.
the hospital scene is the MAIN reason (the other reasons are obvious) why I don't ever have the urge to re-watch this movie, those women at the hospital were probably pretty close to giving birth, those babies were not fetuses, they were more than likely already mostly fully formed and kicking in the womb when they were eaten alive. I know it is just movie but just imaging it is disturbing. Not to mention what the expecting mother would have to experience, having to live during the birth of the aliens.
I agree with you about that. I don't necessarily hate the movie but I do think that it's pretty stupid mainly with the dumb teenagers in it. I think that the part with the pregnant women was disgusting and uncalled for.
Glad you enjoyed it, as for the second part of your comment, maybe you should use your brain BEFORE typing your comments. what you said had nothing to do with what I said except for referencing fetuses.
+Tau12us R See that scene made me feel a rage and disgust for a movie I've not felt very often. It's not even for the fact that the scene is gross, that's fine, but did it earn any of that shit? Hell. Fucking. No. The whole movie was so boring and so bad, that after a while it felt like someone throwing anything at a wall saying, "Was that cool, and gruesome?!". I don't even remember most of this pile of trash. The only thing this should be remembered for is how big of a failure it is on every level.
That scene, and the scene with the Alien bursting from the child, were SOLELY there for the shock factor, and I despise that kinda shit SOOOOOOO MUCH. I've been watching horror movies since I was a child, and NOTHING has pissed me off and disgusted me more than that hospital scene. It was pointless and only filmed for the gore and to make the movie ""edgier""
This film was shot in my neighborhood. I wanted to see if I could get myself in as an extra but was in college at the time and the opportunity never came. After seeing this film I convinced myself that I dodged a bullet. Btw. this was filmed in Canada.
Brian. Jr Montoya I have yet to play the drakengard games. but I did play like roughly 3/5ths of the first nier. I just couldn't get past the Emil section underneath his manor because I couldn't see anything. much like this movie.
Kain Of all the reasons to not play Nier.... sighs*. Just increase the brightness settings on your TV. And you are not even done with the 1st ending!!!.
+Yeezys I preferred Predators to Predator 2. My biggest issue with it though was that the setting seemed far too domestic and Earth-like for an alien world.
Mortal Kombat XL does a lot of things better than most movies. In fact, the cutscenes of MK9 and XL are far more enjoyable than the movies, in my opinion.
Actually the idea of the Alien running around earth, even if it was a small town was great. The Alien was always meant to be a weapon designed to take over from the inhabitants of a planet. This showed how they quickly multiply to an extent they can become a swarm. There was an indication of that in the flashback scene of the Predators fighting the Aliens in AVP. I wish they actually did an Alien movie where it's been unleashed on earth.
Requiem crossed the line for me with the hospital scene. Shock horror is the most desperate and lazy attempt to get a reaction from the audience. Can't genuinely scare or disturb somebody? Easy! Just show the Predalien regurgitate Xenomorph's into pregnant women's bodies to eat a fully formed child that's literally minutes away from being born. Add on literally seeing the Xeno's slide down the woman's neck and you got one of the worst scenes in cinema history. That's not scary. It's sick and lazy. I don't think a film has genuinely pissed me off as much as AVP: R just for that scene alone. Isn't it awesome that the only scene you can actually see in this pile of shit is that one? Nice. Fuck this movie. Edit: And for everybody saying "That's what Xenomorphs do!" yeah no shit. That doesn't mean it's okay to show it in a movie. Y'all are acting like this is some kind of Nature Documentary when it's a fucking movie. They crossed the line. There's no defending it.
I definitely agree with you! The shock value in this film were lazy and unnecessary. The writer must've added in an attempt to make the movie scarier, which it doesn't. It's disgusting and depressing in so many level. Another shocker that pissed me off the most was the off-screen implication of the Predalien and other Xenomorphs devouring a maternity ward full of infants. There are scenes that confirmed that it happened when Wolf was investigating the hospital and glimpses at the same ward with empty baskets and the windows were covered in blood as well. This film alone disgusted me more than any other films that I'd watched. I'm glad the directors no longer makes movies anymore!
See, and I know I'm going to start a nerd fight here, but that's what aliens supposed to be. That was the whole point of the xenomorph it's based off perverting human reproduction. The Facehugger is literally a vagina that rapes a man and forces him to give birth. The xenomorph itself is a perverted design of a sperm cell. It was meant to make you uncomfortable it was meant for that kind of shock horror. So. Don't actually have a problem with it because the fact that it bothers you meant it did what it was supposed to do. But hey I'm the one weirdo who liked this movie. I like the darker lighting at like the rubber suits, I like that it was cliche small-town American movie. With cliche small town American characters going up against these things. I guess I'm just a weirdo.
SasquatchyCowboy exactly. It’s like these idiots forgot this is a part Alien film. What do you expect the alien to do? Give the little babies some kisses?
Dev Wheeler well it’s not the fact that the aliens aren’t supposed to do that but it was unnecessary and didn’t need to be put in, it was only put it for the shock value and that’s pathetic.
I’ve read a few comments about this scene and personally I’m not disgusted or disturbed by the idea behind the scene especially given all the other sick stuff out there and horror movies. It’s the blatantly unearned attempt at school value that is despicable and irritated me so much
When I watched this film, I felt absolutely disgusted. That hospital scene with the pregnant woman and the alien is easily one of the worst scenes I have ever seen in a movie ever. The people who thought it was a good idea to add that into the film should be freaking ashamed of themselves. Also, yeah, the rest of the film is awful as well. The cinematography was so low quality with some of the worst lighting I have ever seen in a feature film. Any of the stuff that could have been redeemable, like the alien vs predator fight scenes, ended up being complete crap because of how the lighting was done. This movie is a textbook example of why lighting is so important when filming.
Frozen Death Knight Exactly. What made every other movie in the franchises work is that they showed the aliens/predators were menacing by having them go up again strong, fighting characters. Having them feast upon the vulnerability of babies and pregnant women is just disgusting. The filmmakers lost sight of what the franchises were and it showed. Hospital scene is by far one of my most hated scenes ever
2Frog2 2Frog22 Please stop saying that. This doesn’t excuse for a lazy scene made purely for shock. As he said, the makers didn’t know what the franchise was really about.
I just noticed a weird parallel. So the first AVP is directed by the Paul W S Anderson. On a structural level it has a lot of similarities to the first Resident Evil movie. Same director. Both movies have this giant underground complex where they show the holographic layout of it. Both movies have humans descend into this labyrinth where they're being killed multiple things. Like in RE it's zombies and Hive defenses. In AVP it's Aliens and Predators. But AVP Requiem in a way is like Resident Evil 2 and 3, the game, because of how the city gets blown up at the end.
For those of us who have been following him for months or even years, it's an interesting milestone. His 100,000th was a bit of a big deal, and his hitting 500,000 sort of stunned him. The subs basically show a vote of confidence.
William Blake Hall And youtube pays like what dollar in usa for subscriber?? And in nordic countries one guy had a brand new Toyota Land Cruiser, cause he hit 500.000 or something like that... And the car came from toyota not from youtube but he got it cause they wanted good publicity and they did video from it. Dark green 4x4 awd, 3,5turbo with webasto and leather interior... People think that toyota land cruiser is cheap but it costs a lot here... More than bmw x3, probly more than x5 too... That car they gave would have a price tag of 82.000€ or even more. Its really a car that if you cant drive the road your on with it anymore, there aint nothing better you can switch to cause you tried that with best one
Ugh I hated this film. Horrible quality. Also it went too far with killing off kids and pregnant women, that was just so messed up and an insult to the franchise.
Litshttam Late to the party but this movie did cross the line with the pregnant ladies, it was bordering on Impregnation/Vore fetish in the way it was shot and the fact they only showed female characters being impregnated this way. The kid wasn't gory, it was just tasteless. It didn't add anything to the plot or any real horror at the kids' death, since we knew he would die, there was no "oh no he WAS facehugged!" or cliche' "adult lets kid die because they did something stupid" , just facehuggers attack people, we get more aliens to add to the meat grinder.
The maternity scene set the tone for the rest of the movie: It was a gorefest with the creatures in plain sight for the sake of showing shocking scenes and make a profit out of edgy people who think it's cool to show blood and guts for the sake of it. Which is extremely insulting when you think about the reason why Alien and Predator scare the shit out of us in their first movies. The reason they scare us its because we don't see them, they don't go out on the gore and turn it into Hostel meets Jigsaw, it was the whole paranoia and mystery surrounding those creatures what made the first movies (and their first sequels so the argument of "it's been showed once so it can't have the same effect again" is invalid) such amazing masterpieces. Fans don't go to those movies looking for blood scenes or gore, we go for the thriller feeling of a sentient killing machine that is watching down on you from somewhere you can't see them. This movie is ironically showing way too much while ALSO not showing enough with their shitty camera direction. If you want to go all out, then go all out, but they softballed the gore with the dark pictures while also forgetting the tone of both Alien and Predator. Also the whole predalien hospital scene opens a lot of plot holes regarding it's anatomy and behavior. Where did it get the vocal ovipositor from if neither adult xenomorphs not predators have internalized ovipositors? I mean its mixed DNA so, where the hell did the predalien get that from, and even if it was the queen thats mixed with the predator, it makes no sense because theres a gap between the egg phase and the larvae phase. Why is it able to shove down several eggs in one go when its predecesor can only put one and it takes two days to do so, and the other predecesor is basically asexual because their kind only thinks about hunting? Why choose pregnant women when it was set before in the canon series that facehuggers would rather impregnate men? And why didn't its offspring go into the same breeding drive and impregnate every other hospital maternity ward nearby? And the most important, the original Alien would kill anything or anyone that didn't have its offspring inside, and the predator wouldnt kill a prey that has health issues or is unable to fight back. So basically, that is a HUGE conflict between two races when it comes to pregnant women, given that they don't have alien offspring inside of them while also being extremely weak and unable to be chased down. So how do you justify that kind of violence when it doesn't make sense from the get go? There's more plot holes, of course. But TL;DR, this movie sucks.
It was the scene itself that was disgusting for the sake of it. There are plot holes with the scene alright, but it was never established that the aliens only impregnate men.
@@captainhowlerwilson508 I never said "Only", I said " they would rather impregnate men". Only in AVP1 we have a female victim to becoming a host for a xeno and it was even cut off bc of the pg13 rate, the blonde chick with spiky hair. RIpley's impregnation in A3 doesn't even count because the movie had lots of plot holes from the prologue alone and no one liked the idea of her being a victim to the Queen bc it ruined the tone of the first two movies. Only when Lex and Scar get the real first position as main characters into action is that the AVP movie takes off in a good way. because that's what this movie series is all about, an ultimate battle between female warriors for the sake of their own kind. In all of the other movies the impregnation is done on men because the entire Alien franchise is a metaphor to sexual violence men do on women but with the roles reversed, as well as other sexual undertones that come from bdsm with the entire design of the creatures. Even the tiniest bit of Alien anatomy has a purpouse, which is why it can also become one with other races, depending on the host it will have unique characteristics and preferences. The facehugger with it's hands-like anatomy and phalic ovipositor is literally an analogy to forced oral sex, same way everything Giger did had to do with sexuality in some way. The art books on Alien concept art show further into this. That's why Alien3 and Alien4 were terrible too, because they missed the mark of that Alien and Alien2 were trying to evoke on viewers, especially male viewers of that time period. Alien1 is basically a fight between two intelligent females on different species. Alien 2 is a fight between two mothers trying to protect their babies (Newt on Ripley's side, the eggs on the Queen's side). So why would we suddenly turn pregnant women into easy targets for xenos? Because the men directing and writing this crap think pregnant women are weak and they wanted to reeeeally push the edgy card. Also let me tell you: even a woman pregnant of 9 months would at least try to get off the bed to get away from the thing even if they would have to waddle. Hell, they cant run but they can at least take cover, they aren't useless cows waiting to be breeded by xenos. The women in that ward just stood there to scream awaiting death as if they were inmobile from the waist down. The first pregnant waitress is justified because she was attacked by surprise, but the ward? That was just a wreck.
@@cogitae you realize the first xeno the marines come across in Aliens comes out of the chest of a woman right? Kind of flies in the face of your theory of the first two movies. Aliens are a species that will grab and impregnate any creature that doesn't prove to be an immediate threat they must dispose of. Honestly, there isn't a good answer as to why the predalien only focuses on women unless it really knew it could get more aliens out of the mix. What is interesting is apparently the predalien is a deadend, for it can only create more aliens.
Funnily enough one of the things in that movie that annoyed me the most was that the Xeno blood dissolved flesh like it does metal. In Aliens they show the blood cause bad chemical burns to Hudson's arm, but it didn't fall off or burn down to/past the bone. Strong acids more readily dissolve metal, while strong bases dissolve organic compounds better.
the directors apparently hate pregnant women. They did that stupid movie with the aliens that run on brains and have ships immortal to nukes and a pregnant woman and it similarly pisses you off
I know I'm very much alone but I love this movie lol. Helped a lot to imagine the PredAlien was spawned from an Alien King which I believe the director said was the intent
GK_Knight honestly that was for cheap shock value. And I literally said "wow. You are that desperate. THIS. DESPERATE. To keep our attention? Omfg how long is left?"
lelabotoxique How? At least this movie doesn't have ugly newborns. LOOK AT THE NEWBORNS IN RESURRECTION! They look God awful! That aside, Resurrection wasn't trying to be a movie, it was trying to be a very long season finale Animated TV show.
I agree, as well as 95% comments on that misrable review. But who cares, Chris doesn't read any comment, he's not giving any fucks about opinion of his subs.
I thought that both AVP as well as AsVP were abysmal abominations. However, in my opinion the latter was better than the former. Apparently, they'll be releasing a 'special cut' of Aliens Vs Predator, that'll have deleted scenes released to the public. One scene will show the Predator going to McDonalds and ordering a large Big Mac meal, later killing everyone in the restaurant because they didn't put enough Mac Sauce on his burger.
100% the second one is better. Both have complete garbage human characters, so that's a wash. Both have decent xenomorph monsters, so that's a wash. AvP has GARBAGE predators, while Requiem has one of the best Predators in the franchise. I could watch Wolf take down xenomorphs all damn day. Give me 2 hours of that. I don't care in the slightest about the predator cub scouts from the first AvP, trying to get their shoulder cannon merit badges.
I found the first AVP movie to be on a fanfiction level in terms of story concept but produced with high quality props. Requiem was more gritty and I appreciated that it went as far as it did with the violence and gore. Yes it is too dark for sure, but at least I didn't know who was gonna live or die by the end of the movie.
I disagree. It was absolutely unnecessary. I don’t mean have no gore, I mean have it for a reason, and this film had to it for absolutely no reason at all. Stop excusing this stuff. They went too far with the gore because they thought that was only what the audiences wanted. The story sucks, the characters suck and that hospital scene is the epitome of fanboys not understanding the lore of a universe, and just thinking they can go all out with something like that. That is just vile and disgusting and should not be defended at all.
@@captainhowlerwilson508 The filmmakers quite obviously did not give two shits when they made this dumpster fire of a movie. They _gleefully_ shat all over both franchises, pissed away every opportunity they had to build stakes and tension, and characters worth rooting for, and actively insulted the audience's intelligence at every turn.
the predalien was always cool in the video games and i was totally hyped when i saw it at the end of AvP 2004, but u just didn't see much of it in this movie ( due to the shitty lightning ) and it just didn't really blow me away.
ETgohome13 then you should play the video game from 2010,THATS cool,but it's so sad when an awesome creation gets put in an awful movie,like the only Alien movies with the Xenomorph Warriors is A L I E N S and AVP:R,
THIS REVIEW IS THE REASON WHY I SUBSCRIBED. You are spot on about everything. Especially the rating system. Studios today assume we just want to see gore, guts, and dead babies, NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I want a good story which happens to be R. A perfect exampled of a great R rated movie. DEADPOOL!!!!!!!!!
I would also like to add Se7en to the list as well, since it has stuff that is just as disturbing as this movie, but executed so well, because of how well written the protagonist and antagonist are.
Agree with the comments about the hospital scene completely. You just can't do that shit. I get that there' always gotta be a pretty gnarly scene in an Alien movie, and they're always trying to "raise the bar" and that... but I hate seeing anything to do with kids dying in movies, especially so horrifically. It's just a line you don't cross. That scene got me really angry.
Lol just no. It’s fine for kids to die when it’s obviously going to lead to that. Be real, when there are facehuggers and xenomorphs around, there ARE going to attack everyone around them, that includes kids. Making steps in order to avoid kids getting killed is just shamefless spineless censorship. The hospital is unnecessary because it’s too hyper specific for it to happen, but a kid having a face bigger implant eggs inside him is 100% plausible and that’s IS something that will happen. That’s a like that you SHOULD cross to convey that no one is safe. The pregnant woman scene isn’t necessary but the child chestbuster scene is. You CAN do that kind of stuff. You just need to stop being so squeamish as you are, seriously.

I actually complained about this to FOX, I saw it in the theaters and it was NOT that dark. Somehow some black filter got thrown on top of the Bluray release and you really cant see anything thats going on. Prime example, when the kid gets his face melted about half way through the film, you could see all of that detail in the theater and I believe the DVD is actually okay with this too, but the Bluray, its insanely dark and thats not how the movie is supposed to be. I have no idea what happened and no release has ever fixed it either. I didnt hate the movie like you did and yes its stupid but that was fine for me, its still better than Resident Evil the Final Chapter and I was sad about how horrible that turned out, lol.
Chaz Dumbaugh Have you tried bumping up the brightness of your tv? (you know there's something wrong with whatever is on your screen when you have to do that...)
WH250398 That doesn't help much when the movie is insanely dark, all others look fine and like I said, it was not this dark when I saw it in the theater, to my surprise I couldn't see anything happening when I bought the bluray later, something happened with that transfer and Fox never did anything about it
i think your onto something. i dont rememeber it being that dark in the cinema either and ive noticed since the whole "4k" thing has started to take off some of that looks murky as fuk / not right on my bog standard PC monitor.
I think that this should have been a found footage movie or filmed by GoPro following some more realistic, less cliche characters. It would be like Cloverfield or Hardcore Henry with Aliens and Predators (they should also put in more predators). Could you imagine that hospital scene in first person or found footage? That would be quite interesting..
I personally hate found footage films but that still sounds more entertaining than this movie. I saw this flick years ago and almost completely forgot about it.
Yes it is but only with Horror Movies not Action Movies (i don't consider and Movie with Predators in it Horror) And it's depends on how they handle the found footage style, if you can see literally nothing to mask a low Budget then it is realy fucking annoying But with good shots and just enough shaky cam (not to much) to make it believable found footage it MIGHT be a good Movie and it would most definetly be better than the shit the AVP franchise is
"So, in a way Alien fans in particular are finally getting a wish they've had for a long time and that was to see aliens on Earth and not up in space..." Last time I checked, Antarctica (setting if the first AvP) is on Earth.
AVP wasn't "great", it was absolutely awesome, and not at all "dumb", but rather misunderstood and underrated. AVPR had a big issue with the lighting, there's absolutely no denying that, but I'm still very much just as fond of this film as with the first one and holds essentially the same opinions in regards to it being very underrated. Also, this isn't about "a Xenomorph walking around a small town", but rather it's about a terrifying new Predalien leading a horde of other Aliens on a nightmare slaughter through a small town and essentially demonstrating what a Xenomorph infestation set loose on Earth would look like" and again, it's absolutely awesome, though the lighting is still a big problem, and there are minor problems that could have been improved as well, noting that some of the gore was very disturbing and I'm not sure whether to see this as something positive or negative (and it was clearly not presented as something we would be okay with, but rather as something terrifying and haunting that would probably happen during such events), but otherwise I love this movie and I'm very much serious on that! In regards to Eddie the cop talking to Dallas the convict about everything that's going on is because THEY ARE CLOSE FRIENDS, which is revealed if you pay attention. AVPR's tribute to Predator through the "Get to the chopper!" line wasn't even that bad! Sure, it could have been better, but it wasn't THAT bad. xD And I still don't understand why you expect there to be some sort of "happy ending" to these films. The ending was epic, intense, and absolutely great (not intended to have us feel okay with it, but experiencing the incredible horror that the people in the film experienced), again something which would be pretty much expected during a Xenomorph infestation after the military is made aware that the entire town has been rapidly dropping in its population and is suddenly exposed to some completely unknown threat that could soon expand to other parts of the country with no apparent means of stopping it, so they drop a doomsday weapon on the already lost town, perfectly reflecting how a Xenomorph infestation on Earth would indeed be a doomsday event. I'm still waiting for the sequel.
First off, it's highly likely that we will be getting a third AVP, especially seeing as Fox has always been interested in the shared universe (including a continuation to AVP), which has become a big topic of discussion in regards to Shane Black's The Predator. Second, AVP isn't "dead" by any means, it never even got close to dying, it's always been alive and well both over at Fox as well as throughout the fandom. Or to quote Black, "I don't think AVP is dead, do you?" and I feel that this comment sums up this whole issue pretty neatly. Get real. xD
Chris: "Just look at this scene and tell me how FUCKING awesome it is!" (a Pampers ad pops up with the song "Born to be Wild" playing in the background) Me: Ah yes, truly a masterpiece of cinema.
@@ozybeastias8893 Oh yeah, I saw the commercial on television with my own eyes and ears. And it was Huggies diapers... But it was the Huggies cruisers. Look it up man...
True story. When this was out in the theater my husband and I decided to go out and see it for a date night. At the time I had found out a couple of weeks prior to this that I was pregnant. Cut to the scene with the Aliens implanting their children into the pregnant women. Yeah, after that I vowed I wasn't going to see any more movies where a main character was pregnant until my kid was born because it was going to give me weird ideas.
The two things I loved about this movie were the Predalien and Wolf. Wolf is the best and most badass predator out there next to Ahab. But damn it was so dark you couldn't see anything.
i personally adore both of the franchises so much to the point i liked a lot both of the AvPs, i liked how they made it a slasher type themed, feels like something apart since it doesnt have anything to do with Aliens and Predator separate franchises. not sure if you get what i mean but i basically like how they made a separate thing using both of the adoring creatures, like when i heard Requiem was in a town, i immediately thought Slasher! everyone is going to die! and thats what i liked about it.
Who the fuck thought that throwing Alien and Predator to "group of teenagers dying one by one" slasher is a good idea??? WHO!? Those are two ICONS of cinematography and they flush them in a toilet to a "Z class moronic horrors" septic tank. This movie is a straight insult.
this is where the production designers were clever in their treatment of the xeno in the first 2 movies. during dark scenes the xeno costumes were painted in places with gold or blue paint so that some details could be seen in low light
It's interesting to point out that the trailers for the movie are much better lit than the movie itself. You can just watch the trailers instead of the movie because they give away so much like the deaths of certain characters, parts of the fight at the end, and even the Predalien and Predator killing each other. Except now you can actually see what's happening.
its literally shot like a damn B Movie Direct to Video. Blows my mind this was a theatrical high budget release. Who thought this lighting was a good idea?!
To this day I still haven't seen AVP:R. I've watched it, but I can't see a thing
That's because it's hard to even see anything.
RothGamez LOL!!
Okay that was funny
@@mizukihozakai7417 No shit.
Same with breaking bad godzilla.
There is actually a behind the scenes video in which a cameraman says quite literally; "Hang on I'm getting some real dark pictures here" to which someone then says; "Shut up dave".
I hope Dave got to work with a less shitty and more competent film crew.
Dormammu poor dave......
Dormammu i wonder if he wants to bargain
+Dormammu I've come to bargain.
Link?
Link pls!
I remember renting this DVD and thinking something was wrong with my TV because it was so dark. Half of the time I couldn't see what was happening at all
Same. Bought a flat screen because of this movie, thinking my tv was outdated
Same
No, it was big part of the time
I saw it in the theater, and the WHOLE TIME I thought there was something wrong with the projector.
I thought so too
But no it's just the movie is so damn dark
I feel like both the aliens and predator war could've been solved with a cold fresh can of Pepsi.
And then Alfie kills booth with kitten gun and says "there can be only one ultimate ET", and he slowly looks behind and sees the ET saying "et, phone, let's fucking fight!".
Oliver Haugaard Mortensen That commercial would actually be less stupid than whatever the hell that Kylie Jenner thing is. BTW, what parent names their daughter Kylie? To quote Tina Fey/Liz Lemon, "Kylie great, she can strip her way through community college.".
Bissy My man!
So have you taken the red pill Bissy?
Though I have to believe that an Alien would just use that Pepsi to wash the taste of Kylie Jenner out of its mouth, who knows where she's been after all...
FUCK WASTE MANAGEMENT!
The Predator in this movie is named Wolf, after a character from Pulp Fiction. On his mask, there's something written in their language which translates to, "Not for glory. Not for honor. Not for the hunt. But to clean up the mess." Probably the most interesting and competent thing the filmmakers did.
Troin, you have to admit. The wolf predator is one of the best and coolest predators we ever seen
Okay but it would've helped if I could SEE THE FUCKING WRITING!!!!!!
The more you know!
Wolf was the only good thing from the entire movie.
Wolf is definitely the only reason I could stand this movie
To be honest, the “get to the chopper” line made me realise something:
*_i could be watching a better movie right now_*
God dam right
You would like it better if you were a sexual tyrannosaurus... just like me
100% accurate, this was the darkest movie I have ever seen. There were so many moments where I had no idea what was going on because it was all in the shadows.
I mean how could they possibly show such gruesome scenes of the kid and the pregnant lady
In the effort to show how scary and violent the aliens are...they just ended up making it extremely disturbing and stupid to watch
The effects were pretty good though, or at least I think they where...... I COULDN'T SEE SHIT
+Dormammu I've come to bargain
EdgarTheRaven
LOL! Top kek
they were mind boggling :D says the darkness surrounding them.
Dave could have saved us all
Dormammu I've come to bargain
I convinced my whole family to go see this for Christmas. I'm still apologizing.
You dun goof'd
@Dogman tossed my salad no it's not they're both equally terrible.
I think the movie was realsed on Christmas because I guess it was 20th Century Fox's way of saying hey Merry Christmas Everyone this is your Christmas gif but instead of coal we got shit and the shit was this turd of a movie
Hope your name is A-A-ron................ BECAUSE YOU DONE MESSED UP A- A-RON!
Where have I read this before?
I remember seeing this film somewhere around 11,12 years old-ish and being utterly disgusted and terrified about the fact that I saw this Alien-Predator Hybrid lay eggs in a pregnant women, on from that day forward to hate this movie so freaking much!
The whole main plot about the pizza delivery guy getting some pussy-LIKE WTF!?
ALIENS v PREDATOR:REQ...GAH-BAGE!
Atleast the first Alien vs Predator film had relatable characters. But this one doesn't
LOL YOU SAW IT THAT YOUNG! I am too scared to watch it, I heard it’s disturbing
I also watch it when I was young (I watch AVPR before I watch AVP) and I remembered how dark the movie was. I can't see the Predalien very well that I thought it was just an ordinary Alien until the end where I can barely see its mandibles.
it really was disturbing, the guy who was behind this films main storyline is a psychopath
the hospital scene was the worst
I first watched the movie, when I was around 8 or 9 years old because my father watched all kinds of movies with me, including horror (except the Zombie genre) to toughen me up or so?
And I loved the movie, besides getting a bit disturbed for a few weeks.
In retrospective, it endet up being my favorite movie from the A&P franchise.
I am honestly kinda shocked right now, what a bad resonance the movie has gotten, because I loved it. I loved it because it was so gory, dark, horrifying and action stuffed especially, when comparing it to the first part. I probably was just too young to recognize how bad the rest of the movie (the characters and the teen stuff) is, because on one hand, I just doesn’t watched RUclips and any movie criticism back in the das and formed completely my own opinion without letting an influencer influence my opinion and on the over hand I just wanted to see people get ripped apart, Aliens get executed and the awesome wolfs-predator get challenged by the threatening new predator killing Predalien.
Maybe I‘ll do a rewatch of all the movies to form a updated opinion.
The cop looks like a mix between Mark Ruffalo and Shia LaBuif
Jake Drake LoL I Know right
I’ve seen him in something before
oh yea i think he was also in kong skull island
He is Braga from Fast and Furious
@@LittleCatProductions He looks a lot like an older version of the annoying sidekick guy from the second Transformers movie. I wouldn't be surprised if they were related.
At least the predalien looked cool,.....
You know,
When we get to see it
The alien finds out that apparently that it and the predator have mothers with the same name, the end
Madeus Gerstenlauer then they become best friends and one dies and then the alive one is super sad so he sets out to form a team with Jason and micheal Myers and leather face to completely merc on some fuckers
YES! I love it! Start shooting tomorrow! :)
Ba Dum Tss!
Predator: WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!?!
Jason Voorhees: It's his mothers name!
Literally literally laughed out loud. Thank you. Thank you.
Welp. This makes the first film look like an Oscar-winning masterpiece.
Yeah I know that
Yeah. Kind of off topic, but I find it ironic that an ancient pyramid under Antarctica is somehow better lit than a small town in Colorado, lmao.
The "Choppa" scene in the first Predator was executed so damn well! The timing and tone of the music, Arnie's wound (props to the makeup fx team), the low shot that depicts struggle and vulnerability, and of course Arnie's famous line "GET TO THA CHOPPA!" - Damn, man. No wonder this was one of the most iconic scenes in Pedator! Can't find movie magic like this anymore... it's all about money and instant gratification.
the guy who wrote this screenplay is also writting Avatar 2,3,4,5.... brace yourselves
Aaron James Cameron is co-writing the scrips too. They have been writing the scripts for a few years now, so maybe they'll be good or even great. I guess we'll have to see 👌
Aaron i love a bit of shaft
Facepalm
That many sequels... but the avatar script was still being developed during the filming of Titanic ?
Aaron Oh boy. This isn't going to end well!
Oh hey, what movie is Chris reviewing today?
See's it's AVP Requiem
Shit, it's THAT movie.
Roger Puzzitiello sees*
@Svet seas*
@mockery seize*
Alien settings: Gritty spaceships, harrowing derelict planets
Predator settings: Sweaty atmospheric Jungles and a Sweaty City, technically a Concrete Jungle.
AVP 1 Setting: Mysterious Antarctic Mayan Temple, however that works.
AVP Requiem Setting: *Some suburbs and a hospital but you can't even see them because there's no light.*
Review the rest of Predator franchise too leading up to Shane Black Predator
thi nga pha we'll have to wait awhile for those.
I wouldn't mind that. I enjoyed the last movie, Predators. I don't understand why people hated it. I thought it was a better faithful sequel than Predator 2.
Super predators = spoiled rich kids with their own safari and high-end hunting equipment.
The only problem with predators is just how easy the predators themselves get killed. Other than that it is great.
thi nga pha it's been pushed back to the beginning of next year. so In true RUclips fashion the reviews and tributes (honest trailers, EWW) and such will release right before :)
I accept that the first AVP movie is one my biggest guilty pleasures films... but this movie... is such a fucking horrible piece of shit!
The main problem I had with it was that it was lore breaking but other than that it was okay.
dude if this movie wasn't so fucking dark I feel like it could have been much better. 50% of it the viewer is like squinting. I like the premise, its just kind of unnecessarily gross at times and you can't really see the aliens
Lord Crow You know nothing.
WiffyLight ...Jon Snow
Lord Crow Yeah I like to watch AvP. Not a great movie but I enjoy it.
This I saw once and wondered why I stayed to the end. Won't watch again. It's horrendous.
The next one should be called “alien 3 vs predators”
If fox actually got their shit together, they could bring the AVP franchise together in a new trilogy to actually TELL A GOOD STORY!
If they make a new AVP movie it should be set in the future because aliens in the 21 century is so boring
A video game that would take place after the original would be called “Alien vs Predator : Isolated hunting grounds.”
^^ Just like how Zombies on Current Age, I find boring
Everyone does the same
That is why I am interested in some Historical Era type situation where Zombie Outbreak occurs, so looking forward to see that *Kingdom* Show
Aliens & Predators vs. Steamboat Willie
This movie for me was just sort of "meh" until they got to that scene with the pregnant women. At that point I was just all "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!???!!!"
hemmingwayfan i guess to show that aliens have no boundaries in killing
hemmingwayfan i guess to show that aliens have no boundaries in killing
Lol yeah deff ^ his reason but I was like damn kill the kid thats fucked no way they could beat that then the pregnant girl shit happened 😅

a couple uh jackasses standing in a circle
The blonde girl getting nailed to a wall with the star thingy is still one of my favorite movie kills..
@Joe Russel do they have a name for what’s wrong with you??
LMAO I knew Chris would get pissed at AVPR's "Get to Da Choppa!" reference hah! Arnold's delivery STILL owns. Honestly, I thought this was a Hilariocity worthy film. The ONLY good actor in the film was the cop.
The cop was actually played by John Ortiz, who played the evil drug dealer in Fast & Furious 4. As mid as the Fast Saga is, especially now, I can safely say that any of those movies are more worth his time compared to AVP:R.
Never even saw the end of this movie. Got to the maternity ward sequence and was like "Nope, fuck this"
Memorandom that scene is pure shit
Memorandom I saw that shit as a child... But I didn't remember it. That is because the brain sometimes eliminates bad experiences or memories to protect itself from emotional harm/scars.
Memorandom Thr scene was so unnecessary it was terrible.
Tamahj Jamison i hated that scene so much, because it's not just one pregnant woman going to have a baby in that moment, it was dozens. Sorry for my bad english.
Yeah, that scene was just nothing but shock value and that was it. It was shocking yes, but pointless, hell even the actress seemed not to be into it
I laughed out loud when the guy finally gets the girl and BAM she dies
This movie is a complete disgrace to BOTH franchises. Hate Alien 3 all you want, it is nowhere nearly as shitty as this.
Dormammu I still dislike Alien 3 more because it bored me while AvP Requiem had the occasional decent shot and a cool design for the Predalien.
Your opinion is shit. SHIT.
They're completely different though, Alien 3 is a dramatic reflective film, it's a conclusion to the series. AVPR had cool kills but the characters were bad, the only likable character was the cop. A3 was deeper by far.
Alien 3 is not shitty tho
Alien 3 tells you early on the prison is full of murderers and rapists and that Ripley is going to die so you don't care about who lives or dies. Add the fact the alien isn't intelligent like in the other movies and there is nothing to invest in with that film.
what are these thumbnail faces anymore lol.
Somali Pirate Who Pirated Your Girlfriend you can usually tell the grade from the face :)
Somali Pirate Who Pirated Your Girlfriend for views I guess :/
Somali Pirate Who Pirated Your Girlfriend damn didn't you comment on some djakedemik shit
xxplvb yea I'm everywhere so probably. I take my work very seriously
I don't know why every youtube movie reviewer seems to think they need a picture of their face pulling a funny expression in every thumbnail now. Just seems to be a trend everyone is copying.
I agree about the rating thing. I hated the over-the-top gore in this movie it was stupid and disturbing.
💀
In violent agreement here.
the hospital scene is the MAIN reason (the other reasons are obvious) why I don't ever have the urge to re-watch this movie,
those women at the hospital were probably pretty close to giving birth, those babies were not fetuses, they were more than likely already mostly fully formed and kicking in the womb when they were eaten alive. I know it is just movie but just imaging it is disturbing. Not to mention what the expecting mother would have to experience, having to live during the birth of the aliens.
I agree with you about that. I don't necessarily hate the movie but I do think that it's pretty stupid mainly with the dumb teenagers in it. I think that the part with the pregnant women was disgusting and uncalled for.
Tau12us R that scene is fucking beautiful! Also wtf is this fetus nonsense of yours?
Life is life no matter how small.
Glad you enjoyed it, as for the second part of your comment, maybe you should use your brain BEFORE typing your comments. what you said had nothing to do with what I said except for referencing fetuses.
+Tau12us R See that scene made me feel a rage and disgust for a movie I've not felt very often. It's not even for the fact that the scene is gross, that's fine, but did it earn any of that shit? Hell. Fucking. No. The whole movie was so boring and so bad, that after a while it felt like someone throwing anything at a wall saying, "Was that cool, and gruesome?!".
I don't even remember most of this pile of trash. The only thing this should be remembered for is how big of a failure it is on every level.
That scene, and the scene with the Alien bursting from the child, were SOLELY there for the shock factor, and I despise that kinda shit SOOOOOOO MUCH. I've been watching horror movies since I was a child, and NOTHING has pissed me off and disgusted me more than that hospital scene. It was pointless and only filmed for the gore and to make the movie ""edgier""
The 20 million the studio took off the budget is probably from the lighting Department!!!!
A good remake would be to bring back Sigourney Weaver and Arnold to be in a Alien vs Predator movie.
But both characters exist at completely different points in time.
That would be upsetting for a lot of different reasons and feel totally forced
Jon Stewart that would be fucking awesome what a prefect team up
Why wasn’t sigourney and Linda Hamilton in the Expendables franchise
F is to high.
Z minus?
Your spelling is too poor.
This film was shot in my neighborhood. I wanted to see if I could get myself in as an extra but was in college at the time and the opportunity never came. After seeing this film I convinced myself that I dodged a bullet. Btw. this was filmed in Canada.
This is one of the best cheesy action thriller movies I've ever seen in all honesty sorry you didn't get the role. 💯
This should have been a hilariocity review.
Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!
Shut up Garrick...
George Zhang my thoughts exactly. He should have eviscerated the lighting even more than he did.
Finally sb gets it.
George Zhang This movie isn't even bad in a funny way, though. It's just.... SHIT
The wolf predator's design was spectacular
HappiestSadGuy and pred alien is pretty rad! But fuck man this movie is awful.
I wasn't expecting to see an Emil avatar in the comments.
Kain good eye. Turned into a Drakenkard/Nier fanboy after Automata. So I switched up my avatar.
Brian. Jr Montoya I have yet to play the drakengard games. but I did play like roughly 3/5ths of the first nier. I just couldn't get past the Emil section underneath his manor because I couldn't see anything. much like this movie.
Kain
Of all the reasons to not play Nier.... sighs*. Just increase the brightness settings on your TV. And you are not even done with the 1st ending!!!.

+Yeezys I preferred Predators to Predator 2. My biggest issue with it though was that the setting seemed far too domestic and Earth-like for an alien world.
It's sad that Mortal Kombat XL did a better job at AVP than this piece of shit movie.
Juan hernandez That reminds me how the Smash Bros series does a better crossover between Mario and Sonic than the Olympic game series.
Mortal Kombat XL does a lot of things better than most movies.
In fact, the cutscenes of MK9 and XL are far more enjoyable than the movies, in my opinion.
Actually the idea of the Alien running around earth, even if it was a small town was great. The Alien was always meant to be a weapon designed to take over from the inhabitants of a planet. This showed how they quickly multiply to an extent they can become a swarm. There was an indication of that in the flashback scene of the Predators fighting the Aliens in AVP. I wish they actually did an Alien movie where it's been unleashed on earth.
Requiem crossed the line for me with the hospital scene. Shock horror is the most desperate and lazy attempt to get a reaction from the audience. Can't genuinely scare or disturb somebody? Easy! Just show the Predalien regurgitate Xenomorph's into pregnant women's bodies to eat a fully formed child that's literally minutes away from being born. Add on literally seeing the Xeno's slide down the woman's neck and you got one of the worst scenes in cinema history. That's not scary. It's sick and lazy. I don't think a film has genuinely pissed me off as much as AVP: R just for that scene alone. Isn't it awesome that the only scene you can actually see in this pile of shit is that one? Nice. Fuck this movie.
Edit: And for everybody saying "That's what Xenomorphs do!" yeah no shit. That doesn't mean it's okay to show it in a movie. Y'all are acting like this is some kind of Nature Documentary when it's a fucking movie. They crossed the line. There's no defending it.
I definitely agree with you! The shock value in this film were lazy and unnecessary. The writer must've added in an attempt to make the movie scarier, which it doesn't. It's disgusting and depressing in so many level.
Another shocker that pissed me off the most was the off-screen implication of the Predalien and other Xenomorphs devouring a maternity ward full of infants. There are scenes that confirmed that it happened when Wolf was investigating the hospital and glimpses at the same ward with empty baskets and the windows were covered in blood as well. This film alone disgusted me more than any other films that I'd watched. I'm glad the directors no longer makes movies anymore!
See, and I know I'm going to start a nerd fight here, but that's what aliens supposed to be. That was the whole point of the xenomorph it's based off perverting human reproduction. The Facehugger is literally a vagina that rapes a man and forces him to give birth. The xenomorph itself is a perverted design of a sperm cell. It was meant to make you uncomfortable it was meant for that kind of shock horror. So. Don't actually have a problem with it because the fact that it bothers you meant it did what it was supposed to do. But hey I'm the one weirdo who liked this movie. I like the darker lighting at like the rubber suits, I like that it was cliche small-town American movie. With cliche small town American characters going up against these things. I guess I'm just a weirdo.
SasquatchyCowboy exactly. It’s like these idiots forgot this is a part Alien film. What do you expect the alien to do? Give the little babies some kisses?
Dev Wheeler well it’s not the fact that the aliens aren’t supposed to do that but it was unnecessary and didn’t need to be put in, it was only put it for the shock value and that’s pathetic.
I’ve read a few comments about this scene and personally I’m not disgusted or disturbed by the idea behind the scene especially given all the other sick stuff out there and horror movies. It’s the blatantly unearned attempt at school value that is despicable and irritated me so much
When I watched this film, I felt absolutely disgusted. That hospital scene with the pregnant woman and the alien is easily one of the worst scenes I have ever seen in a movie ever. The people who thought it was a good idea to add that into the film should be freaking ashamed of themselves.
Also, yeah, the rest of the film is awful as well. The cinematography was so low quality with some of the worst lighting I have ever seen in a feature film. Any of the stuff that could have been redeemable, like the alien vs predator fight scenes, ended up being complete crap because of how the lighting was done. This movie is a textbook example of why lighting is so important when filming.
Frozen Death Knight Exactly. What made every other movie in the franchises work is that they showed the aliens/predators were menacing by having them go up again strong, fighting characters. Having them feast upon the vulnerability of babies and pregnant women is just disgusting. The filmmakers lost sight of what the franchises were and it showed. Hospital scene is by far one of my most hated scenes ever
@@Tobytyty101 it feels like a scene that belongs in a Hostel or Saw film
2Frog2 2Frog22 Please stop saying that. This doesn’t excuse for a lazy scene made purely for shock. As he said, the makers didn’t know what the franchise was really about.
Captain Marvel Wilson yes exactly. I get the ALIEN films are grisly with their kill scenes but fuck, this is just something a psycho would write
I thought it was fantastic
I just noticed a weird parallel. So the first AVP is directed by the Paul W S Anderson. On a structural level it has a lot of similarities to the first Resident Evil movie. Same director. Both movies have this giant underground complex where they show the holographic layout of it. Both movies have humans descend into this labyrinth where they're being killed multiple things. Like in RE it's zombies and Hive defenses. In AVP it's Aliens and Predators. But AVP Requiem in a way is like Resident Evil 2 and 3, the game, because of how the city gets blown up at the end.
I feel like nobody realizes that Chris is so close to 1M subs.
Holy shit only just noticed
Hope he does something special for it
I've been noticing. He's going to be at minus 37K soon.
ThatOneKichiッ what do subscriptions have to do with anything?
For those of us who have been following him for months or even years, it's an interesting milestone. His 100,000th was a bit of a big deal, and his hitting 500,000 sort of stunned him. The subs basically show a vote of confidence.
William Blake Hall And youtube pays like what dollar in usa for subscriber?? And in nordic countries one guy had a brand new Toyota Land Cruiser, cause he hit 500.000 or something like that... And the car came from toyota not from youtube but he got it cause they wanted good publicity and they did video from it. Dark green 4x4 awd, 3,5turbo with webasto and leather interior... People think that toyota land cruiser is cheap but it costs a lot here... More than bmw x3, probly more than x5 too... That car they gave would have a price tag of 82.000€ or even more. Its really a car that if you cant drive the road your on with it anymore, there aint nothing better you can switch to cause you tried that with best one
Chris definitely didn't grow up with this one
L
Somali pirate's second Acc that gives Ls God dammit!

Somali pirate's second Acc that gives Ls so Fuck You
I sadly grew up this movie, and my dad actually bought it, and still have it
Need a flashlight 🔦🔦🔦🔦🔦to see the movie....
Ugh I hated this film. Horrible quality. Also it went too far with killing off kids and pregnant women, that was just so messed up and an insult to the franchise.
newt...
i 100% agree. it did not need to cross that line
Litshttam I would probably say this one was more gruesome than Jaws.
Christopher Crowell Would have been better if it was set in a different planet.
Litshttam Late to the party but this movie did cross the line with the pregnant ladies, it was bordering on Impregnation/Vore fetish in the way it was shot and the fact they only showed female characters being impregnated this way.
The kid wasn't gory, it was just tasteless. It didn't add anything to the plot or any real horror at the kids' death, since we knew he would die, there was no "oh no he WAS facehugged!" or cliche' "adult lets kid die because they did something stupid" , just facehuggers attack people, we get more aliens to add to the meat grinder.
best part is when the kid's love interest is killed
Yep she really annoying
The maternity scene set the tone for the rest of the movie: It was a gorefest with the creatures in plain sight for the sake of showing shocking scenes and make a profit out of edgy people who think it's cool to show blood and guts for the sake of it. Which is extremely insulting when you think about the reason why Alien and Predator scare the shit out of us in their first movies. The reason they scare us its because we don't see them, they don't go out on the gore and turn it into Hostel meets Jigsaw, it was the whole paranoia and mystery surrounding those creatures what made the first movies (and their first sequels so the argument of "it's been showed once so it can't have the same effect again" is invalid) such amazing masterpieces. Fans don't go to those movies looking for blood scenes or gore, we go for the thriller feeling of a sentient killing machine that is watching down on you from somewhere you can't see them. This movie is ironically showing way too much while ALSO not showing enough with their shitty camera direction. If you want to go all out, then go all out, but they softballed the gore with the dark pictures while also forgetting the tone of both Alien and Predator.
Also the whole predalien hospital scene opens a lot of plot holes regarding it's anatomy and behavior. Where did it get the vocal ovipositor from if neither adult xenomorphs not predators have internalized ovipositors? I mean its mixed DNA so, where the hell did the predalien get that from, and even if it was the queen thats mixed with the predator, it makes no sense because theres a gap between the egg phase and the larvae phase. Why is it able to shove down several eggs in one go when its predecesor can only put one and it takes two days to do so, and the other predecesor is basically asexual because their kind only thinks about hunting? Why choose pregnant women when it was set before in the canon series that facehuggers would rather impregnate men? And why didn't its offspring go into the same breeding drive and impregnate every other hospital maternity ward nearby? And the most important, the original Alien would kill anything or anyone that didn't have its offspring inside, and the predator wouldnt kill a prey that has health issues or is unable to fight back. So basically, that is a HUGE conflict between two races when it comes to pregnant women, given that they don't have alien offspring inside of them while also being extremely weak and unable to be chased down. So how do you justify that kind of violence when it doesn't make sense from the get go?
There's more plot holes, of course. But TL;DR, this movie sucks.
It was the scene itself that was disgusting for the sake of it. There are plot holes with the scene alright, but it was never established that the aliens only impregnate men.
@@captainhowlerwilson508 I never said "Only", I said " they would rather impregnate men". Only in AVP1 we have a female victim to becoming a host for a xeno and it was even cut off bc of the pg13 rate, the blonde chick with spiky hair. RIpley's impregnation in A3 doesn't even count because the movie had lots of plot holes from the prologue alone and no one liked the idea of her being a victim to the Queen bc it ruined the tone of the first two movies. Only when Lex and Scar get the real first position as main characters into action is that the AVP movie takes off in a good way. because that's what this movie series is all about, an ultimate battle between female warriors for the sake of their own kind.
In all of the other movies the impregnation is done on men because the entire Alien franchise is a metaphor to sexual violence men do on women but with the roles reversed, as well as other sexual undertones that come from bdsm with the entire design of the creatures. Even the tiniest bit of Alien anatomy has a purpouse, which is why it can also become one with other races, depending on the host it will have unique characteristics and preferences. The facehugger with it's hands-like anatomy and phalic ovipositor is literally an analogy to forced oral sex, same way everything Giger did had to do with sexuality in some way. The art books on Alien concept art show further into this.
That's why Alien3 and Alien4 were terrible too, because they missed the mark of that Alien and Alien2 were trying to evoke on viewers, especially male viewers of that time period. Alien1 is basically a fight between two intelligent females on different species. Alien 2 is a fight between two mothers trying to protect their babies (Newt on Ripley's side, the eggs on the Queen's side). So why would we suddenly turn pregnant women into easy targets for xenos?
Because the men directing and writing this crap think pregnant women are weak and they wanted to reeeeally push the edgy card. Also let me tell you: even a woman pregnant of 9 months would at least try to get off the bed to get away from the thing even if they would have to waddle. Hell, they cant run but they can at least take cover, they aren't useless cows waiting to be breeded by xenos. The women in that ward just stood there to scream awaiting death as if they were inmobile from the waist down. The first pregnant waitress is justified because she was attacked by surprise, but the ward? That was just a wreck.
There are female predators, they are generally larger and praying mantis their mates after mating.
@@cogitae you realize the first xeno the marines come across in Aliens comes out of the chest of a woman right? Kind of flies in the face of your theory of the first two movies. Aliens are a species that will grab and impregnate any creature that doesn't prove to be an immediate threat they must dispose of. Honestly, there isn't a good answer as to why the predalien only focuses on women unless it really knew it could get more aliens out of the mix. What is interesting is apparently the predalien is a deadend, for it can only create more aliens.
7:10
"Are you F*%#ING KIDDING ME!"
WOW, Chris got loud there. O_o
EDIT: At 8:39 as well.
The whole movie is a garbage buuuut the sewer scene when the predator trap the aliens was pretty cool :S pls dont hate me.
Would've been much cooler if it weren't shot in pitch darkness.
ya it was dope
That scene was fine. It at least had some creativity.
I don't hate you
Funnily enough one of the things in that movie that annoyed me the most was that the Xeno blood dissolved flesh like it does metal. In Aliens they show the blood cause bad chemical burns to Hudson's arm, but it didn't fall off or burn down to/past the bone. Strong acids more readily dissolve metal, while strong bases dissolve organic compounds better.
The Predator/Xenomorph hybrid's head looks kind of like the Elites from Halo
Ian Quyck Wort Wort Wort
So yeah... about that hospital scene with the pregnant lady....................
AnIrishComposer What about it? *Makes taunting face
the directors apparently hate pregnant women. They did that stupid movie with the aliens that run on brains and have ships immortal to nukes and a pregnant woman and it similarly pisses you off
I know I'm very much alone but I love this movie lol. Helped a lot to imagine the PredAlien was spawned from an Alien King which I believe the director said was the intent
Is that all the reason you could come up with. The director failed that promise.
Lol, you're not alone bro
Totally agree re the gore. The maternity hospital scene really disturbed and appalled me.
GK_Knight honestly that was for cheap shock value. And I literally said "wow. You are that desperate. THIS. DESPERATE. To keep our attention? Omfg how long is left?"
This should've been a Hilariocity. THIS. Not Alien: Resurrection.
lelabotoxique How? At least this movie doesn't have ugly newborns. LOOK AT THE NEWBORNS IN RESURRECTION! They look God awful! That aside, Resurrection wasn't trying to be a movie, it was trying to be a very long season finale Animated TV show.
I agree, as well as 95% comments on that misrable review.
But who cares, Chris doesn't read any comment, he's not giving any fucks about opinion of his subs.
lelabotoxique totally agree man.
lelabotoxique They are both total fucking garbage and both shouldn't exist.
"Hilariocity" means that it was so bad, it became unintentionally funny. AVPR went beyond that.
one of my favorite scenes from Predator is when Dutch and his team start emptying their clips on the predator
I thought that both AVP as well as AsVP were abysmal abominations. However, in my opinion the latter was better than the former. Apparently, they'll be releasing a 'special cut' of Aliens Vs Predator, that'll have deleted scenes released to the public. One scene will show the Predator going to McDonalds and ordering a large Big Mac meal, later killing everyone in the restaurant because they didn't put enough Mac Sauce on his burger.
100% the second one is better. Both have complete garbage human characters, so that's a wash. Both have decent xenomorph monsters, so that's a wash. AvP has GARBAGE predators, while Requiem has one of the best Predators in the franchise. I could watch Wolf take down xenomorphs all damn day. Give me 2 hours of that. I don't care in the slightest about the predator cub scouts from the first AvP, trying to get their shoulder cannon merit badges.
The maternity ward scene ruined the movie for me and made me feel violently ill.
Jason Middleton boo hoo
Can't handle a little violence? Watch Bambi
Grim Reaper yeah it was just to much
Alhawaii um that has violence too you idiot
@@Alhawaii1 Yeah! Babies getting murdered is super cool! Look what a cool, tough guy Alhawaii is!
Man that Alan Silvestri score in the sample from the original movie is in itself better than anything in AvP:R.
"This movie makes Doom look like a beaming ray of sunlight"... You are the GOAT Chris
You should review The Prestige. It's like one of Christopher Nolan's most underrated movie, and it's on Netflix now. Just wanna get the word out.
Coby Smith True, I liked that movie. I think not enough people knows about it!
Coby Smith One of my favorite films to date
Its an amazing movie
It's his best film in my opinion.
I found the first AVP movie to be on a fanfiction level in terms of story concept but produced with high quality props. Requiem was more gritty and I appreciated that it went as far as it did with the violence and gore. Yes it is too dark for sure, but at least I didn't know who was gonna live or die by the end of the movie.
I disagree. It was absolutely unnecessary. I don’t mean have no gore, I mean have it for a reason, and this film had to it for absolutely no reason at all. Stop excusing this stuff. They went too far with the gore because they thought that was only what the audiences wanted. The story sucks, the characters suck and that hospital scene is the epitome of fanboys not understanding the lore of a universe, and just thinking they can go all out with something like that. That is just vile and disgusting and should not be defended at all.
@@captainhowlerwilson508 The filmmakers quite obviously did not give two shits when they made this dumpster fire of a movie. They _gleefully_ shat all over both franchises, pissed away every opportunity they had to build stakes and tension, and characters worth rooting for, and actively insulted the audience's intelligence at every turn.
No such thing as going too far with the gore in a movie like this. It’s just a movie, the effects (when you could see them) were the best part
This is one of the worst movies ever made. It's the worst one in both of the franchises.
absolutely, it is a complete waste of time.
Luis Kern And it had one of the coolest ideas ever! The Predalien sounds like such an awesome idea!
the predalien was always cool in the video games and i was totally hyped when i saw it at the end of AvP 2004, but u just didn't see much of it in this movie ( due to the shitty lightning ) and it just didn't really blow me away.
ETgohome13 then you should play the video game from 2010,THATS cool,but it's so sad when an awesome creation gets put in an awful movie,like the only Alien movies with the Xenomorph Warriors is A L I E N S and AVP:R,
ETgohome13 which is worse Dragon Ball Evolution, Sonic 06, Undertale Fandom, FNAF fandom, or this
THIS REVIEW IS THE REASON WHY I SUBSCRIBED. You are spot on about everything. Especially the rating system. Studios today assume we just want to see gore, guts, and dead babies, NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I want a good story which happens to be R.
A perfect exampled of a great R rated movie. DEADPOOL!!!!!!!!!
I would also like to add Se7en to the list as well, since it has stuff that is just as disturbing as this movie, but executed so well, because of how well written the protagonist and antagonist are.
"Get to the chopper!"
He didn't even say it right. You're supposed to say, "GET TO DA CHOPPAAAAAHHHH!!!"
"Just why, why. I don't need this." 🤣🤣🤣
I actually did think there was a problem with my TV because the picture was so dark.
Agree with the comments about the hospital scene completely. You just can't do that shit. I get that there' always gotta be a pretty gnarly scene in an Alien movie, and they're always trying to "raise the bar" and that... but I hate seeing anything to do with kids dying in movies, especially so horrifically. It's just a line you don't cross. That scene got me really angry.
Lol just no. It’s fine for kids to die when it’s obviously going to lead to that. Be real, when there are facehuggers and xenomorphs around, there ARE going to attack everyone around them, that includes kids. Making steps in order to avoid kids getting killed is just shamefless spineless censorship. The hospital is unnecessary because it’s too hyper specific for it to happen, but a kid having a face bigger implant eggs inside him is 100% plausible and that’s IS something that will happen.
That’s a like that you SHOULD cross to convey that no one is safe. The pregnant woman scene isn’t necessary but the child chestbuster scene is. You CAN do that kind of stuff. You just need to stop being so squeamish as you are, seriously.

I actually complained about this to FOX, I saw it in the theaters and it was NOT that dark. Somehow some black filter got thrown on top of the Bluray release and you really cant see anything thats going on. Prime example, when the kid gets his face melted about half way through the film, you could see all of that detail in the theater and I believe the DVD is actually okay with this too, but the Bluray, its insanely dark and thats not how the movie is supposed to be. I have no idea what happened and no release has ever fixed it either. I didnt hate the movie like you did and yes its stupid but that was fine for me, its still better than Resident Evil the Final Chapter and I was sad about how horrible that turned out, lol.
Chaz Dumbaugh Have you tried bumping up the brightness of your tv? (you know there's something wrong with whatever is on your screen when you have to do that...)
WH250398 That doesn't help much when the movie is insanely dark, all others look fine and like I said, it was not this dark when I saw it in the theater, to my surprise I couldn't see anything happening when I bought the bluray later, something happened with that transfer and Fox never did anything about it
i think your onto something. i dont rememeber it being that dark in the cinema either and ive noticed since the whole "4k" thing has started to take off some of that looks murky as fuk / not right on my bog standard PC monitor.
I think that this should have been a found footage movie or filmed by GoPro following some more realistic, less cliche characters. It would be like Cloverfield or Hardcore Henry with Aliens and Predators (they should also put in more predators). Could you imagine that hospital scene in first person or found footage? That would be quite interesting..
It would have been better that what we got
I personally hate found footage films but that still sounds more entertaining than this movie. I saw this flick years ago and almost completely forgot about it.
avp cloverfield style would be amazing
Gabriel Crosley enough with that found footage shit already. It's been done to death.
Yes it is but only with Horror Movies not Action Movies (i don't consider and Movie with Predators in it Horror)
And it's depends on how they handle the found footage style, if you can see literally nothing to mask a low Budget then it is realy fucking annoying
But with good shots and just enough shaky cam (not to much) to make it believable found footage it MIGHT be a good Movie and it would most definetly be better than the shit the AVP franchise is
So we have:
-Godzilla vs Kong
-Aliens vs Predator
-Freddy vs Jason
-Batman v Superman
How did we get Freddy vs Jason before Terminator vs Robocop?
"So, in a way Alien fans in particular are finally getting a wish they've had for a long time and that was to see aliens on Earth and not up in space..."
Last time I checked, Antarctica (setting if the first AvP) is on Earth.
Clicked the notification so fast...not even human anymore.....
Are you a servant of the secret fire? Do you wield the flame of Arnor? Can I pass?
Thunderbolt8296 Fool of a Took, you shall not pass!
What i think Alien vs Predator should be. Some sort of mix between action and horror and then these two clashing with awesome chorography.
I feel so bad for the Xenomorphs in the film. They were just being used as punching bags to the Predalien and a plot device for Wolf to kill.
Good riddance kill the vermin
i liked 1st avp - 2nd one dreadful - could not see a thing so dark and generally a crap film
AVP wasn't "great", it was absolutely awesome, and not at all "dumb", but rather misunderstood and underrated. AVPR had a big issue with the lighting, there's absolutely no denying that, but I'm still very much just as fond of this film as with the first one and holds essentially the same opinions in regards to it being very underrated. Also, this isn't about "a Xenomorph walking around a small town", but rather it's about a terrifying new Predalien leading a horde of other Aliens on a nightmare slaughter through a small town and essentially demonstrating what a Xenomorph infestation set loose on Earth would look like" and again, it's absolutely awesome, though the lighting is still a big problem, and there are minor problems that could have been improved as well, noting that some of the gore was very disturbing and I'm not sure whether to see this as something positive or negative (and it was clearly not presented as something we would be okay with, but rather as something terrifying and haunting that would probably happen during such events), but otherwise I love this movie and I'm very much serious on that! In regards to Eddie the cop talking to Dallas the convict about everything that's going on is because THEY ARE CLOSE FRIENDS, which is revealed if you pay attention. AVPR's tribute to Predator through the "Get to the chopper!" line wasn't even that bad! Sure, it could have been better, but it wasn't THAT bad. xD And I still don't understand why you expect there to be some sort of "happy ending" to these films. The ending was epic, intense, and absolutely great (not intended to have us feel okay with it, but experiencing the incredible horror that the people in the film experienced), again something which would be pretty much expected during a Xenomorph infestation after the military is made aware that the entire town has been rapidly dropping in its population and is suddenly exposed to some completely unknown threat that could soon expand to other parts of the country with no apparent means of stopping it, so they drop a doomsday weapon on the already lost town, perfectly reflecting how a Xenomorph infestation on Earth would indeed be a doomsday event. I'm still waiting for the sequel.
Xenosaurian you're never getting that sequel.
This movie got the death it deserved.
First off, it's highly likely that we will be getting a third AVP, especially seeing as Fox has always been interested in the shared universe (including a continuation to AVP), which has become a big topic of discussion in regards to Shane Black's The Predator. Second, AVP isn't "dead" by any means, it never even got close to dying, it's always been alive and well both over at Fox as well as throughout the fandom. Or to quote Black, "I don't think AVP is dead, do you?" and I feel that this comment sums up this whole issue pretty neatly. Get real. xD
Xenosaurian nope keep dreaming. It's never gonna happen.
You get real
Talk about expressing juvenile denial. xD
Xenosaurian says the guy that wants a sequel to this shit movie.
Chris: "Just look at this scene and tell me how FUCKING awesome it is!"
(a Pampers ad pops up with the song "Born to be Wild" playing in the background)
Me: Ah yes, truly a masterpiece of cinema.
Pampers? Don’t you mean Huggies cruisers? It had the song in that commercial... God diaper commercial ads are so cringe these days...
@@firelightyear I'm pretty sure it was Pampers, but I could be wrong.
@@ozybeastias8893 Oh yeah, I saw the commercial on television with my own eyes and ears. And it was Huggies diapers... But it was the Huggies cruisers. Look it up man...
The cop looks like Obama with hair.
haha lol
I remember coming across this movie, and thinking that there was just something wrong with my vision, or that there was a glare somewhere.
True story. When this was out in the theater my husband and I decided to go out and see it for a date night. At the time I had found out a couple of weeks prior to this that I was pregnant. Cut to the scene with the Aliens implanting their children into the pregnant women. Yeah, after that I vowed I wasn't going to see any more movies where a main character was pregnant until my kid was born because it was going to give me weird ideas.
These movies just went to absolute shit lol
Really does lol :p I thought so too
Walked out of the theater when that pregnant seen happened unreal man
It’s a movie dude
@@FlyingBitchSlap which makes it worse. A MOVIE. A MOVIE DECIDED TO DO THAT.
AVP-Requiem: Exists
Me: So dark... you sure you're not from the DC universe
Lol
Thats a Deadpool thing.
@@TheDoctorsTwin yes we all know :)
@@TheBarser For me the Alien franchise should have stopped after Aliens and the Predator franchise should have stopped after the first film
@@dong.corleone I dont know about that, but that is without a doubt the best movies.
You should review The Big Lebowski
xn67 very true good sir, they are some of my favorite directors, I am a huge fan
A+
There's a beverage here man!
Him and Jeremy jahns need to
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
The two things I loved about this movie were the Predalien and Wolf. Wolf is the best and most badass predator out there next to Ahab. But damn it was so dark you couldn't see anything.
i personally adore both of the franchises so much to the point i liked a lot both of the AvPs, i liked how they made it a slasher type themed, feels like something apart since it doesnt have anything to do with Aliens and Predator separate franchises.
not sure if you get what i mean but i basically like how they made a separate thing using both of the adoring creatures, like when i heard Requiem was in a town, i immediately thought Slasher! everyone is going to die! and thats what i liked about it.
I stopped going to the theater :( I watched a few 90s movies on a small screen and saw some fantastic stories, story telling, and acting!
I think somebody thought it was cool how raccoon city got blowed up so they said lets do that in an AVP movie. Lets go blowed up the city at the end.
Who the fuck thought that throwing Alien and Predator to "group of teenagers dying one by one" slasher is a good idea??? WHO!? Those are two ICONS of cinematography and they flush them in a toilet to a "Z class moronic horrors" septic tank. This movie is a straight insult.
0:57-1:14 That is the reason why people shouldn't be complaining about Venom not being rated R.
this is where the production designers were clever in their treatment of the xeno in the first 2 movies. during dark scenes the xeno costumes were painted in places with gold or blue paint so that some details could be seen in low light
The character in AVP reusing the name DALLAS was a lame also ! 😐
It's interesting to point out that the trailers for the movie are much better lit than the movie itself. You can just watch the trailers instead of the movie because they give away so much like the deaths of certain characters, parts of the fight at the end, and even the Predalien and Predator killing each other. Except now you can actually see what's happening.
When the _trailer_ has better lighting than the end product, you fucked up.
this is one of my favorites of your reviews, I agree with your takes 100% and love your passion!
its literally shot like a damn B Movie Direct to Video. Blows my mind this was a theatrical high budget release. Who thought this lighting was a good idea?!
