What to Know

Critics Consensus

The increased gore and violence over the first Alien vs. Predator can't excuse Requiem's disorientating editing, excessively murky lighting, and lack of new ideas.

Nick Schager Slant Magazine Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem is literally shrouded in darkness, and the only explicable reason for this pitch-black visual schema is that the filmmakers understood it was better if no one could see the **** they were shooting. Rated: 1/4 Jan 20, 2008 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) At best the movie's an unpretentious pile-up of B-movie clichés, but why "Requiem"? Time to give it a rest now. Jan 18, 2008 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian The world's most illogical and boring action-horror grudge-match between two dull trademarked franchise monsters is back on. Rated: 1/5 Jan 18, 2008 Full Review Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania [The] second Alien vs. Predator follow-up is a disaster on many levels. Rated: 1/5 Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Certainly more watchable than its predecessor Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine Future Alien and Predator films never managed to capture the appeal of the originals, but they were at least more watchable than this. AVPR is without question the worst that these franchises ever got. Rated: 1/10 Mar 25, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Ry N Requiem immediately follows up the events of AVP as the Predator ship crash lands into a small Colorado town. The movie shows many brief storylines of people instantly being lost in the crossfire which made for a less interesting and messy plot compared to the first film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review chris m first english, below spanish: english: a bad sequel, but better than the previous one. an unusual yet striking start places 'alien vs. predator: requiem' firmly within the characteristic tone of the saga. the initial atmosphere captures some attention, but it quickly becomes clear that the film moves in very predictable territory, offering no freshness to the already familiar narrative of the alien universe. the characters are completely flat, and the performances tend toward excess, sometimes bordering on caricature. the dialogue mostly serves functional purposes: the few well-written lines survive, while the poorly executed ones fall into the repetitive patterns typical of this franchise. the script shows slight improvements over its predecessor, 'alien vs. predator', but still fails to stand out. the action and horror sequences rely on a linear and predictable development, which limits surprise and reduces tension in many moments. technically, the film shows clear advancements: the creature designs are more polished, the cinematography and video techniques improved, and the visual effects surpass those of the previous installment. these technical achievements provide a competent visual spectacle, though insufficient to make up for the lack of narrative depth. despite having a completely predictable ending, i liked it. the film concludes its sequences coherently with the saga's tone, offering a satisfying closure for fans of the 'alien vs. predator' universe, even without unexpected surprises. in conclusion, 'alien vs. predator: requiem' positions itself as a functional entry in the saga: competent in execution, with technical improvements and some appealing nods for universe fans, but limited in originality and character development. although better than the previous installment, it is still a bad movie. despite its shortcomings, it is somewhat more enjoyable than its predecessor, though it does not transcend the usual standards of the franchise. spanish: una mala secuela pero mejor que la anterior. un inicio peculiar, aunque llamativo, sitúa a 'alien vs. predator: requiem' dentro del tono característico de la saga. la atmósfera inicial logra captar cierta atención, pero rápidamente se percibe que la película se mueve en terrenos muy previsibles, sin aportar frescura a la narrativa ya conocida del universo alienígena. los personajes son completamente planos y las actuaciones tienden al exceso, con momentos que rozan lo caricaturesco. los diálogos, en su mayoría, cumplen funciones meramente funcionales: los pocos acertados sobreviven, mientras que los mal ejecutados caen en la rutina que caracteriza a esta franquicia. el guion muestra ligeras mejoras respecto a su predecesora, 'alien vs. predator', aunque sigue sin destacar. las secuencias de acción y terror se apoyan en un desarrollo lineal y previsible, lo que limita la sorpresa y reduce la tensión en muchos pasajes. en términos técnicos, la película presenta avances claros: los diseños de criaturas son más pulidos, las técnicas de vídeo y cinematografía mejoradas, y los efectos visuales superan a los de la entrega anterior. estos aciertos técnicos logran ofrecer un espectáculo visual competente, aunque insuficiente para compensar la falta de profundidad narrativa. a pesar de ser un final completamente predecible, me ha gustado. la película cierra sus secuencias de manera coherente con el tono de la saga, ofreciendo un desenlace satisfactorio para quienes siguen el universo de 'alien vs. predator', incluso sin aportar sorpresas inesperadas. en conclusión, 'alien vs. predator: requiem' se posiciona como una película funcional dentro de la saga: correcta en ejecución, con mejoras técnicas y algunos guiños atractivos para los seguidores del universo, pero limitada en cuanto a originalidad y desarrollo de personajes. a pesar de ser mejor que la entrega anterior, no deja de ser una mala película. a pesar de sus carencias, resulta más disfrutable que la entrega anterior, aunque no logra trascender los estándares habituales de la franquicia. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/21/25 Full Review Matheus P Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem It's not a good movie... compared to the first classic "Alien Vs Predator" or also called "AVP" you can see that this new movie is much inferior, the movie has a very strange plot often meaningless, low quality graphic and sound effects and especially it's a very dark movie! Yes, black screen dark! Definitely Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem or known as "Aliens Vs. Predator 2" doesn't reach the feet of the classic Alien Vs Predator 1 (the first movie) I don't know if it's worth watching but if you're going to watch it don't go with high expectations! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/16/25 Full Review Brad S. Somehow worse than the first one Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/16/25 Full Review Audience Member The reviews on this from the critics are pretty spot-on. It's dimly shot, bunch of stupid tropes that have been done before, awful script and poorly acted. I don't really understand why they decided to meld these 2 franchises. I didn't HATE it- but I will be deciding once I get done with Predators and The Predator what, if any, I will keep. I already chicked Prey and if the next 2 are bad (I'm doing them in chronological order) I'm just gonna keep 1 and 2. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review Eddy A It was tight, I don’t care if it was in darkness. I was just glad there was another one Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
