Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn one of the movie's behind-the-scenes featurettes, director of photography Daniel Pearl stated that he wanted to visually differentiate this movie from its predecessor Alien vs. Predator (2004), which he criticized for its use of fixed cameras, wide shots and excessively bright lighting, because in his opinion, this revealed way too much of the creatures. Reasoning that monster horror works better in dark environments with documentary-style photography, Pearl employed hand-held cameras and dimly illuminated sets to get the desired effect. Ironically, the film would later be criticized mostly for its overuse of 'shaky cam' and excessively murky lighting, with people complaining that they couldn't see much of the action.
- GoofsThere is no reason given why the main characters are not able to escape by driving away from the town.
Correction: Colonel Stevens tells Sheriff Morales that all ground routes out of town have been compromised. While he doesn't elaborate further the Army is clearly trying to seal off the area and contain the Xenomorphs, which would include keeping someone impregnated by a facehugger from getting out. Stevens' monitors show they are jamming all communications from the town: landlines, cell phones, internet plus all civilian and law enforcement radio frequencies. The government obviously doesn't want anyone learning about what happened here either, so the Army likely has all the roads blocked off to prevent anyone from leaving.
- Crazy creditsThe opening title card features many sound effects from the previous movies, such as motion tracker beeps from Aliens, and the Predator POV humming.
- Alternate versionsAliens vs. Predator: Requiem was released on DVD, Blu-ray and PSP UMD Disc on April 15, 2008, in North America and May 12, 2008, in the United Kingdom by Fox Home Entertainment. It was released in three versions: a single-disc, R-rated version of the 94-minute theatrical presentation, a single-disc unrated version extended to 101 minutes and a two-disc unrated version with the 101-minute film and a second disc of special features.

Featured review
I was only fourteen when I first saw the Alien movies and I immediately came to like it. Original, terrifying and classic. Sigourney Weaver was the perfect choice for the female hero character and she would have deserved a statuette for her act. In 1979 something everlasting was born than the immortal series continued with a nothing less legendary movie than the first. Alien3 was a different point of view but I think this part was the most stressful and unique of all, this was my favourite. Unfortunately the last one was a failure in many ways. It was strained, illogical with full of meaningless massacres. I didn't like it at all, but I never thought that a worse part would ever be made in the future. Well as it turned out in 2004 I was wrong. Alien vs. Predator was a bad break, and it should have been directed by a more talented director or should have never been made at all. But when I saw Alien vs Predator Requiem I was totally shocked moreover devastated. When I sat down and decided to watch it with full of doubt, even than I had never thought that such a bad movie could be made. Without a screenplay, without a director and without actors I don't understand how can a film be made. Because this film misses these three terms. What you get is a nice massacre show without a story but with a lot of annoying and boring dialogues. Waste of money and waste of time. This movie is rather impudence, than honor to the fans of the both sides (Alien/Predator). Shame!
