Okay then, now I have seen the movie that almost everyone loves to bash. To begin with, yes, the acting is only okay for this sort of movie, some of the dialog is cheesy and the plot is extremely simple, but my god was this movie entertaining. The movie is really intense from the first frame and just doesn't let go until its finished. It was actually thrilling in many scenes (much to my surprise) even though I couldn't care less about all the one-dimensional characters coming and going. The battle scenes were somewhat confusingly edited, but still cool none the less. The movie has this raw editing and photography that really gives it an edge compared to AvP 1. What I liked the most was that the movie does not compromise anything. The aliens kill everybody, and I literally mean everybody, breaking every Hollywood rule about what is proper to show on screen. I didn't feel like watching a slasher movie, but felt that the killings were logical and random, like they should be when aliens run amok in a small town. One of the killings is actually surprising and kind of fun. AvP: Requiem is a bad movie if you look at it in a wider perspective, but as a fan-, nerd- and genre movie it will rock your socks off with its raw and brutal look on a few chaotic hours when a Small town is infested with aliens. It has to be chaotic, and I was relieved that the screenwriter didn't come up with some stupid storyline where the characters has to find some kid or anything like that. The movie is all about surviving a threat no one knows anything about until its too late. It is also really nice to see that they work harder to obey the rules made up in the two separate movie franchises. They do bend them as in AvP 1, but not to much. Great fun. Go see it.
