"Alien vs. Predator"
A visually impressive film with great special effects, but after about the first twenty minutes, it becomes clear who will win. A wealthy corporation discovers something large and warm deep within the Antarctic ice, about 500 meters below the surface. The corporation figures it can profit from this if it acts quickly and doesn't tell anyone. They quickly gather a team of skilled specialists (Ripley isn't there, she's dead, but there's a black guy... even better, a black woman, but strangely, she's not a lesbian. And there isn't a single gay person in the film. It's strange that the local union didn't complain about this.), promise them money, and say, "Let's go!" Arriving at the location, they discover that someone drilled a hole in the ice the day before, right down to the source of the heat, a hole about 700 meters long and 2 meters in radius. In short, a pyramid is found under the ice; one smart guy says it combines elements of three cultures that built pyramids. This leads to the conclusion that the pyramid was built by a civilization that predated these three cultures – a kind of superior civilization (I don't know, I had the thought that it was plagiarism – they took and copied all the best elements from these cultures and created their own). In reality, the pyramid turns out to be a battlefield and also an incubator for the Aliens. And the story is this: long ago, the Predators built this pyramid so that once a century, they could come and kill hordes of Aliens bred here. And, by a strange coincidence, they were supposed to arrive today to hunt. And they did arrive. They killed everyone on the surface and went down. By the way, they have grown considerably in size (about three times), as well as in height (about one and a half times), and they have learned (imagine!) to kill Aliens with their bare hands. Then the director decided to add fuel to the fire: he immediately killed two out of the three possible Predators, almost all the people (except for the black woman), made the pyramid move, and made the Aliens reproduce disproportionately to the number of people. As a result, the surviving Predator and the black woman spend half an hour fighting the Aliens, after which they realize that there are already about a hundred of them, throw a grenade, and run away. But that's not all: when they get to the surface, the Alien Queen emerges – a kind of ten-meter-tall mare – and starts attacking them. They resist as much as they can, but they eventually kill her by pushing her into the cold sea. The Predator dies, the woman survives. Then the crew of the deceased arrives, takes the body, gives the woman a spear, and leaves. The film ends with the corpse lying on the Predators' ship, and a small, mutated Alien-Predator crawls out of it. It's a real Mortal Kombat-style bloodbath.
A pretty good film for a family viewing – not too scary, although something long-headed unexpectedly crawls out of the darkness and devours a person from time to time. But there is no blood or flailing entrails shown; everything is done in a decent and cultured manner, people die under a layer of cheap ketchup. The Predators, despite their heavy armor and weapons, are as agile as karate practitioners with black belts and as powerful as T-95 tanks

Where did you get that information, from which forum or blog? :D

I don't understand the point of this thread.
Is it a short, typical review from some random guy on a movie review site?
Who "in a humorous way" talks about a movie that came out several years ago?
If it's supposed to be funny, maybe it should have been posted in the humor section...

I gave a negative rating due to plagiarism! As soon as you add a link to the author, I will remove the negative rating. Sincerely.

))))Here's a funny scene from that movie... just for laughs))))
So, I bought "Alien vs. Predator: Requiem." Basically, the plot is known: Aliens are eating people in the city. Panic starts in the city, and everyone is trying to escape. A scene filmed from a helicopter shows a highway with two lanes, one leading into the city and one leading out. The lane leading out of the city is completely jammed with cars, a huge traffic jam, while the lane leading into the city is COMPLETELY EMPTY!! Absolutely empty!! No one broke the rules!!)))
See how cultured people are in America? They panic so culturedly! xD)))

Come on, don't be so harsh. He liked the movie, and he wants to find people to talk about it with. I, for example, really liked the first part. Great action scenes, special effects, and a cool plot!

Added 2 minutes later
Yes, and one more thing. The second part is terrible, please don't be offended:D It's just that, in my opinion, it's too violent, especially the scenes with the pregnant women, it's disgusting!:mad: The Americans went too far. It's no longer an action movie, but a horror film.

Nonsense! In my opinion, they should remain separate; they are much better and more interesting as individuals. :);)))

I agree, everyone has their own opinion about this movie. But, for me, the "separate" version is preferable.

The second part (forgive me, fans of the movie) is simply awful. The first part is still somewhat watchable, but overall, unlike its predecessors, the movie is mediocre, in my opinion. Perhaps the filmmakers are incompetent, or maybe the theme of aliens and predators has simply run its course...

I'm not claiming that the movie is brilliant, or that it has something "special" in it :) But still, I like the movie.
And I liked the second one even more than the first:). Here, they showed the Predator as a truly awesome hunter. And in the first one... One alien killed two Predators :(((

I don't like it. I barely remember the first one, and I fell asleep during the second. It's cheap running around in the dark (of course, in the dark), with terrible amateurish attempts to build suspense with some two-minute character interactions (as if that's the right way to do it), and then the predator kills, using many of its tools only once, just to show them off on screen and again, supposedly make it cool (a predator with a bunch of weapons, that's how you make a blockbuster!).

I actually liked the first part. Not that much... but it was still somewhat original (compared to other generic movies). It was fun, the Aliens were eating people as usual =^^= and the Predators finally weren't just 100% hunters, but more like equal players.

I haven't watched the second one...

Something from the absurdpedia :D
Initially, the movie "Alien vs. Predator" was supposed to be called "Alien and Predator vs. Chuck Norris," but this idea had to be abandoned during filming: no one would buy a ticket for a fourteen-second movie.

Yeah, I read that too. Overall, my opinion about the movies is that the first one is more or less decent and watchable, but not more than twice. The second one is just mindless violence with an unjustified high number of brutal scenes; it seems they tried to compensate for the lack of a good script with those.
