Okay,

Just a heads up to anyone who likes the Aliens or Predator franchises:

Skip it.

Given as a gift?

Return it.

See it lying in the street?

Step on it.

It's fucking horrible.  I started fast forwarding about 5 minutes in.  I wanted to see the Predator vs. Alien part.

Holy shit is this movie dark.  Not dark as in scary/gore...as in I CAN'T SEE SHIT.

I thought something was wrong with my DLP projector.  Like the lightbulb had burned out or was at 10%.

You seriously cannot make out WTF you're seeing.  It's a joke.

I'll give your rant a rating of 2... out of a possible 10

Besides the fact that it was a damn good movie. IMHO

+1,000,000 Between my boredom and the lack of lighting, I had no idea WTF was going on in that "movie".

I never saw AVP Requiem in theatres so I picked up the two disc set when it first came out.  I saw the first one and wasn't impressed but remember hearing that Requiem was supposed to be awesome.  Unfortunately, the crappy first AVP was about 100x better than that POS.

And the level of detail here is being KIND to the movie.

I bet you thought you'd never say THAT.

God I hated the first movie.  The trailer for this one looked freakin' awesome.  

What a waste of the franchise.

Kevin "Hollywood sucks."

You know, that's exactly what I would have said UNTIL I SAW THE SECOND ONE!

I could have written a better script/screenplay while I was out at a bar.  I really really mean that.  Seriously.

Filming in total darkness = A way to cut CGI and set budgets.

Exactly, they can hide fine detail that takes money and time.

I think you guys are smoking some serious crack, it was way better than the first IMO.  I half way enjoyed it.  Needed some action w/ the Striker smokin' some aliens though.

Neither one would win any awards, but if you like Sci-Fi, they're both OK.

You can't adjust the pic on your set?

I have a 50in Panasonic Plasma and the adjustments for pic quality are sweet.

I had no problem viewing AVP...

yup! this movie was horrible.

Negatives:
*It's like they forgot to take off the lens cap during filiming in some parts.
*Acting sucked
*I thought we'd see the blonde's hoo-hoos, that didn't happen. What kinda rated-R movie is this!!!
*who gave the lead alien spawning abilities!
*first might be actually better!

Pros
*nuked the site from orbit to be sure
*saw a predator and a couple of aliens
*loved how they used sound clips from "aliens" ex. alien shrill and the motion detector in background of plane
*pretty violent!

I disagree.

The first AvP was TERRIBLE.

This one was a rental at best.

Dunno what kind of projector/TV you guys are using, but I could see everything just fine. ::shrug::

I didn't really think the movie was that great (nor was the first), but if you want to see blood and violence and a semi-crappy (typical) SCIFI plot, it's going to fill that role.
