Despite featuring the main antagonists from the Alien and Predator franchises, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is a snooze-fest that cheapens itself to a generic monster-horror film.

With the events following right after Alien vs. Predator, a Predalien is born from a facehugger landing on a Predator. When the Predator ship carrying the Predalien crash lands outside of Gunnison, Colorado, the Predalien escapes and causes havoc.

The storyline isn’t established well, and it’s filled with characters that have little to no backstory, so you end up not caring what happens to them. It’s never established what the Aliens are doing in Colorado. Though a cool concept, the Predalien is lit darkly so often that you mistake it for a new monster and keep confusing whether you’re looking at an Alien or a Predator.

Final say: Does anyone really win? ★☆☆☆☆
