I love people who feel smart because they realizes that government lies to people and they feel as if they uncovered some wild truth, instead of understanding that governments lie to people for the same reasons parents lie to their kids (which is not "for their good" but, rather, because kids don't understand complex topics and situations much like the majority of people knows/understands jack about how to run a country).
"Are the monsters gone?" "No. They just nuked a town of folks." Also, unintentional comedy off the woman saying 'the government doesn't lie to people'. Totally fitting that she got nuked by the government. Also yes, this was probably the most fucked up ending yet most on the nose ending one could think of. This was a ridiculously DARK movie and not cause of the tone. I mean, were they incapable of finding a way to have this unfold at night but not have the audience squinting to see what's happening with most of it? Oh and how could the Predators let that body onto the ship without bothering to scan it? I guess plot armor called for the most meticulous hunters to just let that go cause there's no movie without it being missed.
Here's a crazy idea: If you don't have the budget to show an Alien/Predator hybrid creature outside of extremely dark scenes than maybe don't make a movie about an Alien/Predator hybrid.

You say that no movie has ever given a reason for the Pred to take off their mask, but in 'Predator', they do so because it realises Arnie is way more of a challenge than it thought and deserves to be fought on an equal footing. It's another example of the Yautja paying 'respect' to the creature they're hunting before the kill.
@@ChristophBrinkmann It's HINTED, show not tell. Like how Wolf unarmed himself because he wanted to take on the predalien head on using his own strength, prove himself to be a great warrior, prove that he can take such a threat like the predalien.
@@ChristophBrinkmann It's called 'show don't tell'. A storytelling device that is sadly missing in a lot of exposition-dumping garbage released today. You should be encouraged to use your brain and make your own deductions, everything doesn't always HAVE to be explained to you directly.
Devil's advocate here only cause I agree they need more of this in media but, if a person saw already that a being can literally rip a spine out of your ally with the skull attached and then you want to fight it with no weapons besides hand to hand, my thoughts are if I'm the creature that this thing isn't at my level and I'm walking away which they end up showing in other movies when people either disarm themselves or are weakened (like the pregnant cop in pred 2 or the guy with cancer in the first AVP). As a viewer seeing that I'm thinking this person is either just trying to die or they're crazy and making a huge gamble, which the ladder happened at that moment "come on! kill me, I'm right here do it!"
4:32 To be fair about the Xenomorph having Predator dreads but not human hair, is it ever explicitly stated that the dreads are the Predator's hair? It could be just a part of their body but not the same way hair is. Like... head tentacles or something
@@therealforge I mean, technically this is the film that made the tentacles canon. In the comics it was actually shown to be a hair like structure that was sensitive
The Strause Brothers have an extensive career in special effects, but they are terrible directors. And if this movie doesn't prove that to you, Skyline will.
Darkness this Darkness that. Sure it's a problem but you'll never truly fix this movie unless you address the time setting. If this movie was set in the future on a colony planet with the colonial marines instead modern city with pizza delivery guy getting bullied over a hot chick, it would've been SO MUCH BETTER
@@reverbtheraptor8529 There's no fixing a concept as stupid as "Alien vs. Predator". It's on the same level of "Freddy vs. Jason" but somehow worse because at least one of the two franchise involved, here, wasn't a pathetic power-fantasy for cockless wonders, whereas both "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Friday the 13th" were B grade horror movie shlock. "AVP" is the kind of idea a 4 years old would came up with and most of their friends would find the idea lame af.
@@TriViuM2k22Supposedly, Jessie's death was going to be more brutal by having her bisected by the Predator's weapon after it cut through the Xenomorph. In the "unrated" cut you hear the sound of her legs and guts hitting the floor after she's stapled to the wall, but you couldn't see it anyway.

@@Vampire-666.He had been in a motorcycle accident a year earlier causing brain damage. Many including his family believe it was the primary factor. Pretty sad.
I'll tell you what, though. Wolf is still the most badass Predator put to screen. So, at least this movie has that going for it. Probably the action too...if we could see it.
Wolf is a moron. Sent to earth as an cleaner, but all he ever does is attract attention to himself. Like, he made time to skin that dude and hang him up a tree, only for other people to find him... Weren't you supposed to clean all that shit up, Toothless??
Out of all the Predator figures in this house, Wolf (real and cloaked) is my favorite one. Cos when I bought the figure, I saw that Alien whip AND dual plasma casters. In trailer land, they show Wolf using both plasmacasters at the same time, on two different targets! Well, like the rest of us, the figure was one of the only good things for the imagination. Plus, you can see them in normal lighting.
When a facehugger impregnates a being, the offspring takes on traits from their host. Like the normal alien we see born from humans is bipedal. The alien from Alien 3 was born from a dog and crawled on all 4's. Even the predalien, you can see it has the mandibles and predlocks, and it also sometimes takes trophies as the predators do.
The movie makes the first AVP look like a competent production. You could at least see what was kinda going on most of time and the Predator taking off his mask made a little sense with the scarring after his first kill
Say what you will about the darkness but you'll still get a shitty movie by turning the brightness up. What the movie needs, is to be set in the future on a colony planet and get the colonial marines in there. THAT is how you properly fix this movie.
The sad thing is, if this movie had had decent cinematography and editing, I'd kind of like it specifically for giving no fcks. I mean, chestbursting a kid in the *first act*? That's hardcore. And the part with the pregnant woman is so twisted that it feels on-brand. The writer was clearly trying to make the xenos disturbing again, but the directors were incompetent.
So Space Truckers, Space Marines, Space Prisoners, and Space Pirates couldn't take down the Xenomorphs; but a pizza boy could shoot it down without ease?!
Space Truckers, Space Marines, Space Prisoners, and Space Pirates don't have hthe advantage of being generic movie human protagonist... also, i think it should be with ease, not without ease
Weirdly enough, the creature designs all look great in the behind-the-scenes footage, and it all looks great if you brighten the film yourself. There is no reason for it to be so goddamn dark.
I have to keep my monitors relatively dim due to one eye being overly sensitive to light, but my god, I can't imagine the average viewer could see ANYTHING if the CinemaSins clips are actually brightened for us by them.
Sin 25 at 4:14, the woman in the military gave her daughter her US Army issued night vision goggles. Yeah right. All US service members turn in their weapons & sensitive items (night vision goggles & other serial numbered high value items) back to the armory before they are released. You can’t just take those items back with you to your home. lol 😆🇺🇸👍🏾
10:29 "Eddie, people are dying. We need guns!" 😅I don't deny that weapons could help in this particular situation. I just find the characters panicked delivery and instant impulsive logical conclusion so hilarious. Its like he has always wanted to loot the sheriff's office armory and now he finally has his excuse! 🤣 It reminds me of the Simpsons character at police training. "Forget about the badge. When do we get the FREAKIN GUNS!"
I remember when I watched this, and after the power went out my tv might as well have been turned off 😂 Not even increasing the brightness helped that much. Should have been named: AVP Darkness
Predators don’t have dreads, those are sensory organs that bleed just like their flesh. Yautja skulls even have sockets for them, so calling predalien’s “dreads” a sin is inaccurate. Predalien having those growths just means it has inherited extra senses. Honestly though, thats all I can say, great review overall my guy, this movie was a let down aside from the creature-features. 4:32
15:45 in the first movie it removes the mask because it's choosing to fight without any armor, weapons, or tools. In the second movie, the predator didn't even remove the mask itself; Danny Glover did that while it was knocked out
Not necessarily. Could just be dark. Could be an atmosphere absorbing "visible" Light wavelengths. Whatever selection pressure neccessary. Penguins don't have IR vision and its pretty cold where they live. 🤷
The biggest question for me about this film is how could the studio have allowed it to be presented in this form? I can't believe that they didn't realise that you can't see anything from half of the film in particular.
The director said it was artistic. But whatever I love it anyway cuz it's hilarious the whole dark thing is just too funny and nostalgic at this point. Reminds me of the bootleg dvd days.
6:30 alliteration is not specifically the same letter. The name ends up being alliterative but not because the “B”. For example Kiera Knightley would satisfy your claim and not be alliterative.
"Butch is the only character I shall be mourning this day." On point. Animals are always the Cassandras of the story, warning the populace, never being listened to, and immediately being slaughtered for their vigilance. Hollywood. 🙄
Should've given an extra sin at 15:18 for the size of that nuke. TWO HUNDRED kilotons would decimate 30 square miles probably twice as much with fires. Gunnison is 3 square miles with a 6,500 population 😂. For reference the bomb at Hiroshima was 15 Kilotons.
How about the fact that the mum brings home a set of Army issued night vision goggles, that in the real world is so highly controlled, that your career can potentially be over if you lose one?
When I saw this in the theater, I thought the theater screwed something up that it was so dark. When I bought I on DVD, it was even worse watching at home.
the predalien was perfectly fine with staying in the sewer. it was safe and secure and moist. good nesting spot while waiting for more aliens to hatch. while other aliens go get more people.
As a lifelong predator fan I was happy it stuck to the nature of the predator and they got everything right with the costume aside from the face. Haven’t seen a good design since predator 2 in that regard.
It really isnt. Someone is clueless about how odds work. Think of all the millions of people in the world with electronic devices, someone, maybe several thousand, would be watching a Alien/Predator movie just as this video was released by CinemaSins. You're really not special, buttercup. Plus, think of all the millions of times 'coincidences' like this DON'T happen. Way outnumbering the Times they do.
Extra sin: If there was an explosion, albeit gas or not, the fire department would be alerted before the sheriff. Him saying "notify the fire department" is just for him to have more lines in the movie lol edit: They'd probably be notified around the same time, but still my point remains. SIN
The darkness in this movie has pissed me off since it came out. The best parts (being loose w the term) had to be: the alien at the window scene...yes there is a monster out there, The fact that they did keep randomly picking off "main characters " And just the creepiness of seeing xenos moving around a normal human town.....assuming you were able to see them at all...
I still think that the argument that they had to film the darkest film in the history of cinema because the animatronics looked fake falls flat when you look at how good they looked in the first AVP. This film is just such a confusing mess, I don't even know who any of the cast were, I just don't care enough about any of the characters to care about the people playing them.
In the long run, more guns would mean fewer deaths. The colony in Aliens had no weapons and was wiped out. The space marines were far outnumbered and did much better. If the colonists had been armed, they probably could have tamped down the first several aliens and tamped down the infestation.
You missed the part when blonde guy came through the window and his brother goes “what happened to your face” the makeup team didn’t even give him a bloody lip or eye. His face was the same before the punch 😂 so why would the brother ask about his face when it looked completely normal lol
The predators were super inconsistent in this movie from normal. One of them sent a distress call. The lead predator in the movie sets traps, goes alone, and decides to go toe-to-toe with what you'd think they'd consider an abomination. Why wouldn't he have just nuked it from orbit? It would be the only way to be sure.
Culture. Their whole culture is honor and hunting dangerous prey. So in short killing like that wouldn't be honorable enough, and any Predator who did so would be ostracized and possibly punished by law
@@SlaughterhouseDb I mean, her death was an accident, or more likely would be considered collateral. In this situation it's possible a Predator would face consequences, though it would depend on their clan and how strictly they follow the religious and societal rules. I would say in this situation, based on what is revealed of their culture in other media, if he didn't take a trophy from her then her death would not be considered part of the hunt, as she was running by and the blade wasn't meant for her. Therefore he'd be clear of legal punishment but may face some societal shame due to him being such an experienced hunter who killed someone by accident.
I really enjoy the first AvP, it's a fun movie even if it isn't made very well. And the action when we get it is great and... visible. The only big complaint was it not being rated R. This movie is almost too violent, the nasty violence is the only thing you can see, the human characters mean nothing, and the stuff you want to see, the aliens vs predator, IS TOO DARK TO TELL WHAT IS HAPPENING. Now I will say Wolf (this film's predator) has a really cool design and is a badass fighter, shame we cant see much of what he does.
There should be at least one sin removal for the line *The government doesn’t lie to people*; that had the whole theater cracking up in laughter.
I love people who feel smart because they realizes that government lies to people and they feel as if they uncovered some wild truth, instead of understanding that governments lie to people for the same reasons parents lie to their kids (which is not "for their good" but, rather, because kids don't understand complex topics and situations much like the majority of people knows/understands jack about how to run a country).

Ah, another graduate of the Game of Thrones: The Long Night school of 'Let's film it in darkness.'
I forgot Rickety Cricket was in this. ATTABOY CRICKS!!
I usually turn up the brightness/contrast when i watch this, and it's sad they made it so dark considering all the effects were great.
If the Predators vision is naturally within the IR spectrum, then wouldn't it imply that they evolved on a cold planet?
Not necessarily. Could just be dark. Could be an atmosphere absorbing "visible" Light wavelengths. Whatever selection pressure neccessary. Penguins don't have IR vision and its pretty cold where they live. 🤷
The biggest question for me about this film is how could the studio have allowed it to be presented in this form? I can't believe that they didn't realise that you can't see anything from half of the film in particular.
The director said it was artistic. But whatever I love it anyway cuz it's hilarious the whole dark thing is just too funny and nostalgic at this point. Reminds me of the bootleg dvd days.
It's cause if they actually lit it like it was originally they wouldn't have gotten an R rating.
You guys always do the right movies at the perfect times it’s like your picking them out my brain
I just watched this last night and had a blast. It's kinda freaky he posted this. Is this movie subconsciously buzzing?
6:30 alliteration is not specifically the same letter. The name ends up being alliterative but not because the “B”. For example Kiera Knightley would satisfy your claim and not be alliterative.
The Predator was going for a walk and asked the Alien how's its health plan.
Apparently it was great.
Hellsing Abridged references are supreme.
He went for a very enthusiastic walk.
The Yautja in Requiem does have a name, it's "Wolf". Named after the Harvey Keitel character from Pulp Fiction who is brought in as the fixer.
wiki named it not the movie
@@Teridax935 Actually the director's named him as heard on the commentary track of the Blu-ray.
"Butch is the only character I shall be mourning this day." On point. Animals are always the Cassandras of the story, warning the populace, never being listened to, and immediately being slaughtered for their vigilance. Hollywood. 🙄
Should've given an extra sin at 15:18 for the size of that nuke. TWO HUNDRED kilotons would decimate 30 square miles probably twice as much with fires. Gunnison is 3 square miles with a 6,500 population 😂. For reference the bomb at Hiroshima was 15 Kilotons.
The sigh when he utters the words ‘Get to the Chopper’ was perfect 👌
This movie is so dark that I realized how dusted my screen is while watching this CinemaSins... ;v
The only credit I will give this film compared to the first is that at least it is properly bloody and brutal. Done.
16:59 I was wondering how long it would take before we got a "24" reference. You, sir, never let us down!!
11:31 That kid in elementary school was right, you can get pregnant from french kissing
Lmao
😂😂😂 ❤
The Predator suit in this movie is actually one of the best, was called "Wolf" and it's a shame we didn't actually get to see more of it.
3:12 heyyyy, is that Cricket? 😂
Rickety Cricket had a tough go even before the Gang.
11:11 according to director commentary the Predalien actually did kill those babies like “eating popcorn shrimp”
AVP3: We've made it dark as hell - and we don't mean the gritty kind of 'darker' - we mean even darker than AVP2!
I love the idea of calling the predator 'Toothless'. It's adorable.
16:35 listening to this line while The Mist is just at the front of my brain saying "what about me!?"😂
How about the fact that the mum brings home a set of Army issued night vision goggles, that in the real world is so highly controlled, that your career can potentially be over if you lose one?
14:05 Don’t worry. There’s gonna be a lot more glass in a few minutes. 😂😂😂 💥
When I saw this in the theater, I thought the theater screwed something up that it was so dark. When I bought I on DVD, it was even worse watching at home.
the predalien was perfectly fine with staying in the sewer. it was safe and secure and moist. good nesting spot while waiting for more aliens to hatch. while other aliens go get more people.
My phone screen went dark while watching this but the audio was still going and I thought it was just part of the movie
Got recommended your review of “Jaws” 8 years ago. WOW the commitment is something to applaud 👏👏 great job
The ending is indeed messed up, but it's also ripped right from Resident Evil 3
I think the pregnant women had the most brutal deaths in the movie
Gunnison is not really a suburb. It is the county seat, and biggest town for miles.
Looks surprisingly like vancouver BC
As a lifelong predator fan I was happy it stuck to the nature of the predator and they got everything right with the costume aside from the face. Haven’t seen a good design since predator 2 in that regard.
I went to high school with the lead actress. I was glad to see she made it out of our shitty town.
Did you hit it?
Red Lake?
@@sinclairj7492 nah. She was a preppy girl, I was a stoner
This may be one of the best videos you've ever done.🎉
Literally just watched Prometheus yesterday and have been watching all the alien videos on RUclips. This was released at an eerily perfect time.
It really isnt. Someone is clueless about how odds work. Think of all the millions of people in the world with electronic devices, someone, maybe several thousand, would be watching a Alien/Predator movie just as this video was released by CinemaSins. You're really not special, buttercup.
Plus, think of all the millions of times 'coincidences' like this DON'T happen. Way outnumbering the Times they do.
🎶Pie aesu dominé 🎶 “smack” “insert movie title here in response” “smack”
I laughed WAY too hard at this. 😂
Extra sin: If there was an explosion, albeit gas or not, the fire department would be alerted before the sheriff. Him saying "notify the fire department" is just for him to have more lines in the movie lol
edit: They'd probably be notified around the same time, but still my point remains. SIN
The girl needs night vision goggles, so she can actually see the movie
The darkness in this movie has pissed me off since it came out.
The best parts (being loose w the term) had to be:
the alien at the window scene...yes there is a monster out there,
The fact that they did keep randomly picking off "main characters "
And just the creepiness of seeing xenos moving around a normal human town.....assuming you were able to see them at all...
Well done Cinema Sins for not incorrectly referring to Aliens as Xenomorphs.
It's about freaking time!
“This place is filled with human snacks” 11:57 ticketed me hahaha
I still think that the argument that they had to film the darkest film in the history of cinema because the animatronics looked fake falls flat when you look at how good they looked in the first AVP.
This film is just such a confusing mess, I don't even know who any of the cast were, I just don't care enough about any of the characters to care about the people playing them.
I never saw Alien Vs Predator Requiem, I watched it but it was so dark I couldn’t see anything.
I love the "movie's too damn dark" banter surrounding this movie. Reminds me of the classic bootleg dvd days 😂 It's a special movie to me.
this movie would have been a lot better if they didnt include that hospital scene!
In the long run, more guns would mean fewer deaths. The colony in Aliens had no weapons and was wiped out. The space marines were far outnumbered and did much better. If the colonists had been armed, they probably could have tamped down the first several aliens and tamped down the infestation.
Game of Thrones season 8 episode The Long Night said " look this movie was dark in its fight scenes lets do the same! "
Was this the film that someone had a festish for invoked in this film?
Thanks! I was thinking about rewatching this movie to remind myself why I didn't like it but this is much better!
You missed the part when blonde guy came through the window and his brother goes “what happened to your face” the makeup team didn’t even give him a bloody lip or eye. His face was the same before the punch 😂 so why would the brother ask about his face when it looked completely normal lol
4:00 The facehugger keeps the host alive so the alien embryo can grow fully. Thats how
Next, you should review Jack the Giant Slayer.
The predators were super inconsistent in this movie from normal. One of them sent a distress call. The lead predator in the movie sets traps, goes alone, and decides to go toe-to-toe with what you'd think they'd consider an abomination. Why wouldn't he have just nuked it from orbit? It would be the only way to be sure.
I want a third AVP movie
That's four too many
@@ChristophBrinkmann I need at least a fast and furious amount of AVP movies and games
Also also, if the Predator has magic blue liquid that can deteriorate Alien DNA why not just bring that along and throw a big bucket at the Big Alien?
Culture. Their whole culture is honor and hunting dangerous prey. So in short killing like that wouldn't be honorable enough, and any Predator who did so would be ostracized and possibly punished by law
@@viktorbraginski Except he backhand tosses a giant throwing star to pin a cheerleader to a wall. So, you know, "honor" and "dangerous prey".
@@SlaughterhouseDb I mean, her death was an accident, or more likely would be considered collateral. In this situation it's possible a Predator would face consequences, though it would depend on their clan and how strictly they follow the religious and societal rules.
I would say in this situation, based on what is revealed of their culture in other media, if he didn't take a trophy from her then her death would not be considered part of the hunt, as she was running by and the blade wasn't meant for her. Therefore he'd be clear of legal punishment but may face some societal shame due to him being such an experienced hunter who killed someone by accident.
@@viktorbraginski Fair enough. I also believe he was upset about how things were going and acted recklessly ala Victor from La Femme Nikita
I’ve been waiting for this Sins video! 😁
Wikipedia said that toothless predator is called Wolf, and he is supposedly a skilled veteran predator.
I really enjoy the first AvP, it's a fun movie even if it isn't made very well. And the action when we get it is great and... visible. The only big complaint was it not being rated R.
This movie is almost too violent, the nasty violence is the only thing you can see, the human characters mean nothing, and the stuff you want to see, the aliens vs predator, IS TOO DARK TO TELL WHAT IS HAPPENING. Now I will say Wolf (this film's predator) has a really cool design and is a badass fighter, shame we cant see much of what he does.
