Just when you thought they wouldn't
really do it ... they did. That's right, ALIENS VS. PREDATOR 2. Or rather, ALIENS VS. PREDATOR: REQUIEM, as it's now called.
You can check out the trailer at
Bloody Disgusting (which is appropriately named, let me tell you) and head back here to rant about it. Tell us what you thought. What you liked, and didn't like. Personally, I noticed a whole bunch of Ripley/Newt moments going on with that one woman and her kid. She even sort of looks like Sigourney Weaver from the first movie. Coincidence? Probably not.
Let's compare notes: In the first movie, the crew hears a distress signal and goes to check it out. In this one, a spaceship crash lands on earth and they go to check it out. So, people meddling where they shouldn't be? Check. Next, you've got inexperienced people running around like crazy and getting picked off one by one. Only this time it's not only by Aliens, it's by the Predators as well. But, this is an Aliens vs. Predator movie, so you've probably come to expect all that.
However, did you come to expect this much gore? There are more exploding heads, bursting chests, and spraying blood in this trailer than I've probably seen in the last ten horror movies I've seen combined. And that's a lot of blood. Did they leave anything for the movie? Fans of blood, gore, guts, and chopped off heads will love this one, but it looks a bit more bloodthirsty than I'd bargained for. In fact, it outdoes the original AVP by a few hundred miles.
Anyhow, check it out and sound off. We wanna hear you rant.
