Pov: Alien Vs Predator - Requiem

When I first watch the first edition of Alien VS Predator (AVP - 2004), I feel that it might be quite interesting as Alien VS Predator rather than only Aliens in Alien movies or only Predators in Predator movies. And the most interesting thing is the slogan; Whoever wins... We lose. But the ending is that both Predator and mankind wins as it seems that Predator and mankind cooperate to kill Aliens. So, it's kind of conflicting with the slogan. In order to provide a lead to AVPR, an alien is ‘deployed' in the dead predator which is carried back to the Predators' planet.

Alien VS Predator - Requiem (AVPR) starts with the Alien, bursting out from the dead Predator's stomach and in split seconds, it becomes a grown-up Alien and starts killing Predators. The Alien then go into an airship and kill the pilot Predator while the airship is going to take off. The airship crash land to the Earth and the Alien starts to breed.


Surprisingly, only one Predator is sent to the Earth to fight the high-breeding rates of Aliens. When the Predator finds a clue, it will destroy it by pouring a blue liquid that works like acid. However, it will not destroy the body of humans it killed.

As the Predator searches for Aliens, there are scenes of people searching for clues and missing persons who are actually killed by either the Aliens or the Predator and scenes of people fighting over a girl. I think the scenes are quite boring and they are not brought in as part of the movie interestingly enough. Thus, it is like one moment, Predator is fighting Aliens and the next moment is the boring scenes of humans talking and talking. No surprises and no excitements.

The war between Predator and Aliens ends when the national security instructed the residents to gather at the town centre and assured them of an airlift which will be taken place. Small group of people is not convinced and headed out of town. Instead of an airlift, an air strike is deployed and the town is destroyed together with the people. The only survivors are that small group of people.

Overall, it's boring and why would the Predator remove its automatic laser gun, which sits nicely on the shoulder, and uses it as a hand gun? There seems to be just a fight between Predator and Aliens. There are no purposes to achieve anything, no missions and humans are somehow an empty vase in the movie.
