Movie Review: Alien vs. Predator - Requiem - Page 2

Cringe-worthy dialogue carries the early part of the film. Characters are terrible, Sci-Fi Channel movie clichés, and setting this in “small town America” opens the movie up to a wider array of things lifted from those impossible to watch schlock fests.

People do dumb things on a regular basis, and it becomes a non-stop, unintentional laugh fest. Some characters apparently don’t have spare keys and choose to stick their hands into raw sewage to look for theirs after losing them down a drain. A few teens choose to have sex in the school’s pool and don’t lock the door behind them (and are clearly in front of a window).

There’s a great movie in this concept waiting to be made. This second chance is sadly not the success it could have been. If this is a financial failure, we may never see a third attempt. If it does happen, we can only hope viewers can make out what’s actually happening on screen during the action scenes.
