Alien vs Predator: Requiem - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Movie site (and links to trailer) HERE.

How the hell did I miss this until now? I mean....awesome (and I do mean awesome in that "Dear lord please stab me in the eyes with a spork" kind of way)!

AVP was awesome, much in the same way that Doom was awesome, in that totally "not awesome this is so going to suck sort" of way, but still the nerd / geek inside of me giggled like a schoolgirl. Aliens? Predators? My 2 childhood terrors combined again?? I'm so there.

Nikilidstrom · 11-04-2007, 07:47 PM

call me crazy, but if the aliens were on Earth in the 21st Century, would it really be a big surprise when Ripley and crew run into them in the near future? Gotta love sequels.

Plan9 · 11-05-2007, 07:58 AM

Nervous teen action heroes are a bad choice.

(vomits on this new movie)

The appeal of the original Predator was the hulking human super-soldiers (with grenade launchers and mini-guns) that got torn to pieces by the lone alien space mercenary.

Kadath · 11-05-2007, 08:22 AM

I always felt like the Predator was a dick; human beings have about as much chance as a deer does against a human. Given that Arnold and his team got slaughtered by the Predator, and Gary Busey and his team did too, how are Crompsin's nervous teen action heroes supposed to have a chance? It's like hunting cows.

telekinetic · 11-05-2007, 08:49 AM

This (these?) movie series jumped the shark when AVP was PG-13 and directed by the cinematic mastermind who brought us Mortal Kombat (a far superior film, unfortunately). This sequel to a movie verion of a videogame based on six movies from two series pretty much maxes out the 'Hollywood is out of ideas' meter. Only things missing are remake, old tv show, or comic book.

That said, Predaliens!

more pics here: http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/...predator_N.htm

They aren't invented by the film, however...if they keep the 'true' origin of them (from the AVP2 game), they're what results when an Alien face huggers a Predator instead of a human.

I maybe wrong but the first AVP showed a Predator getting the alien on the mandible.

Willravel · 11-05-2007, 09:31 AM

I think it'd be funny if they had aliens bust out of the chests of people and they have similar behavioral traits. Like a gay guy makes a gay alien, and a black guy makes an alien that can run fast, etc.

I'll see it, but only because I've been told it's way, way better than Alien vs. Predator.

I'll see it if it is rated R. Which it won't be. So I won't.

Plan9 · 11-05-2007, 10:28 AM

What the hell? Gay alien?! What would the gay alien do?

Refuse to attack humans if their clothes are absolutely fabulous?

Hilarious. HAHAHAHA!

KellyC · 11-05-2007, 07:53 PM

I thought the first movie was going to be good given it's Aliens vs Predator, but god dammit they ruined it with the gay ass story line. Predators are ancient gods and built the pyramids? WTF?
I don't know why the hell does Hollywood think it's necessary to have some kind of elaborate story line about movies like this. I'm perfectly content if they just show an army of Predators beating the shit out of an army or Aliens or vice versa. No story line--just straight up ass kicking from beginning to end. Actually, I prefer it.

And what Kadath said. Or at least make it like Transformers: two sides duking it out in a city full of helpless humans whilst the humans panic the shit out of their a-hole...and are killed indiscriminately.

Mrklixx, the second pic is majorly LOL.

I third this. Never before have we needed to dispense with a hokey plotline more. Just get down to the action. I want miniguns and bodies stacked to the ceiling.

Radio Monk33 · 11-06-2007, 10:33 AM

We'd all love 60 minutes of action scenes, but the cost of the special effects would be prohibitive. Hence the "plot"..

Plan9 · 11-06-2007, 10:43 AM

Didn't stop Terminator 2.

Nikilidstrom · 11-06-2007, 10:54 AM

or they could have just left the frachises where they found them and actually thought of an original idea. Thats why I laugh every time I hear about a writers strike. I've felt like the real writers have been on strike since the seventies.

I thought the plot had its merit, it was nice in a sense that it gave a little context that made sense. But what followed was worthless.

A bunch of jackoff European and janky ass merc's who died within the first 5 mins of action. THe previews had me going, like the cut scene with the aliens and predators going at it on a pyramid, too bad it was a whole 10 seconds of the movie. Then two of the predators get smoked instantly. As a whole their were about two redeemable scenes in the entire movie.

Have you seen the preview? It's got more blood, gore and swearing in those 3 minutes than the entire first AVP movie. I can only hope there's some nudity as well, I always wondered what predtits looked like.

Plan9 · 11-06-2007, 04:05 PM

I wanna see Rambo vs. Predator.

Redjake · 11-06-2007, 04:17 PM

I want to see Jesse Ventura brought back from the dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plan9 · 11-06-2007, 04:21 PM

Predator, Predator II, and Aliens all had one thing in common:

Human badasses with tons of guns and cheesy one-liners.

...

AVP? No such creature.

Mojo_PeiPei · 11-07-2007, 10:47 AM

Get to ze choppa!

telekinetic · 11-07-2007, 11:28 AM

I finally nailed down what this title makes me think of!

Pie Iesu domine,...

...Dona Eis Requiem.....

Plan9 · 11-07-2007, 11:33 AM

Why the hell do they use fancy crap like "Requiem," anyway?

Alternate titles that would make more sense:

AVP: Bloodsport
AVP: Part Deux
AVP: Earthscrew
AVP: Human Crossfire
AVP: Ohshittheyreback
AVP: Franchiserape

...

I'm STILL going to see this floater of a Mississippi corn log.

And laugh the whole time.

KellyC · 11-07-2007, 12:40 PM

AVP: Bloodsport - Yes
AVP: Part Deux - Yes
AVP: Earthscrew - No
AVP: Human Crossfire - ?
AVP: Ohshittheyreback - Yes for funny
AVP: Franchiserape - Yes for truth!

Come to think of it, that would be major sweet if Alien and Predators duke it out Bloodsport style. No weapons, obviously.

Fire · 11-07-2007, 10:47 PM

from what i saw, this is AVP, the appology, the "we are sorry we pussied out completely the first time- so now we will kill the shit out of kids, and annoying teens, and families of four, as a pennance" might still suck, but at least it will suck with much more violence and death........

Plan9 · 11-08-2007, 03:36 AM

Yeah, but the fact that the movie will contain pointless teen dialog is a major boner-bomber for me.

Ya know, it would have been like putting the kid from Transformers into Predator as the lead commando.

Fire · 11-12-2007, 01:26 AM

ok, so cooler if they had just doen colonial marines vs aliens vs predators- as it was meant to be...... but at least its a step in the right direction.....

Plan9 · 11-12-2007, 07:01 AM

If they blow up a minivan... I'll be glad I paid for admission.

Hydra1978 · 11-13-2007, 11:26 AM

Just by watching the previews, I personally think it's going to be an improvement since the first AVP. If it holds true, it's definitely going to be a "R" movie.

WOOT!

AVP with Colonial marines would be the best, but i'll stick with what I can get. ;-)

actually, in those movies the company knew about the aliens and sent them there on purpose to bring back a live sample they could use to create biological weaponry

anyways, that trailer was awesome. lots of great violent moments.

gdr2004 · 11-14-2007, 11:41 PM

If the trailer is any indication, the movie should blow everythign away!

Plan9 · 11-15-2007, 03:38 AM

Unless the trailer shows the best parts of the flick and thus it contains only 4 minutes of goodness.

Which is how they sold us on the first AVP... all that 30 second flashback footage of the alien / predator temple battles.

blahblah454 · 12-05-2007, 08:06 PM

The Aliens comic with the predalien came out way before the video game

I need a funnel, a drill, and about a quart of mind bleach.

And having been so utterly disappointed by the first movie, I'm afraid to get my hopes up for this one. The first movie was three minutes of win hidden deep within eighty seven minutes of fail. So I'll probably be waiting for the reviews to come out before I decide whether to see it.

Hain · 12-11-2007, 04:12 AM

Damn these movies with teens at the center of it...

The Predators better be tall. There better be a bunch of one liners.

The first AVP was pure comedy, and I laughed the whole time. I mean the Predator was giving the girl a spear and a shield - damned presents! What next? Chocolate? I need this movie to be like the good days of action movies.

Fotzlid · 12-11-2007, 05:53 AM

somehow i managed to avoid seeing them.
i'm hoping my luck hold out

ironpham · 12-13-2007, 05:45 PM

I think what cracked me up about the first one was one of the previews for it. If I remember correctly it said something like "Aliens vs. Predators. Whoever wins, we lose." Then I watched the movie and found out that we didn't lose at all.

However, I think the trailers for this movie make it look kind of good (in the entertaining action sort of way).
