second one "Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem"


i think the titles are significantly different.

Your own link says it's titled "Aliens"

it's also possible that darkswordsman17 just missed the "s" but was really just trying to point out the "Requiem" part as the difference in the titles.

The "s" is the entire point of the OP.

it's an "homage" to Scott's "Alien" and Cameron's followup "Aliens".

and that's about the only homage that it does.

It wasn't bad. Much better than the first AvP.

This episode had multiple aliens versus a single predator. Maybe that is the reason.

Because in the first one, all confrontations between the Aliens and the Predators were 1on1, best of 3 bouts. Hence the singular "Alien". In the second one, it's more like a cage match where you just throw them at each other... last one standing wins.

BTW... was Requiem really that bad? Even for just mindless entertainment? I love both franchises and I wanted to see this... especially since they didn't pussify it for a broad release...

Well, actually, that should've been the title of the first one, right? ;)

Anyone notice the similarly titled ripoff movie, "Alien -vs- Hunter"??? IMDB

Here's the plot outline:
A galactic hunter chases the most dangerous alien creature in the universe to planet Earth, where humanity is caught between predator and prey.

Gee......sound at all familiar? :roll:

Here's the movie poster: AVH

Yeah, no similarity there!! :laugh:

Because the first Alien movie was called Alien and the sequel was Aliens

It wasn't that bad. It was worse. My friends went drunk and still complained about how stupid it was.

I disagree. It was a solid 3/5 stars.
