Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) (Extreme Unrated Set) - Blu-ray Forum

owa · 04-16-2008, 12:36 AM

Didn't see lgans316's usual thread so I guess I'll create it.

Just got done watching the movie and thought it was much better than the first. A lot more action, a lot more gore and they focus on the aliens and predator fighting a lot more. The movie is very dark but the PQ/SQ are great with some excellent demo worthy scenes (especially near the end). Anyway, I really enjoyed it.

Nice! Thanks for the post. Hurry Amazon!!!

Ranger-R · 04-16-2008, 12:49 AM

I know my shipment still says preparing to ship

bumpylemon · 04-16-2008, 12:59 AM

mine got here today. and i only had 2 day shipping. thats weird you didnt get yours yet.

nycomet · 04-16-2008, 01:06 AM

Amazon delivers yet again! Even with Amazon Prime 2nd day shipping, my preorders get here overnight.

I will be watching AVP:R tonight.

I used the digital copy feature and already have it primed to play on my Mac. I took a peak: the digital copy is the unrated version.

I have a huge bag of Tostitos, a quart of salsa and a bottle of merlot all set for my late-night screening of AVP:R (starting around 4 am, but that late I cannot blast the surround sound

). I read that AVP:R is a bloodbath so I might not be munching out as much as I think.

I am still miffed at Amazon.com about listing the AVP 2-pack as having FOUR discs. AVP1 has no second disc, thus no digital copy.

Ranger-R · 04-16-2008, 01:09 AM

Merlot????? Tostitos and salsa,, I'd go with a Shiraz

ny, let us know how you like AVPR.

owa · 04-16-2008, 01:03 AM

I'm curious to see if I'll be the only person that likes it.

None of the reviewers seemed to like it (they gave the movie itself low marks).

Anyway, another thing I liked, I thought they focused a little more on the predator this time around.

Thanks. Quick story...

I was pumped to see Edward Scizzorhands in the theater upon it's release. The commercials looked very cool. Then I read a review in the paper by some idiot and I didn't go see it. Turns out I was the idiot. I rented ES when it hit VHS and was pissed at the movie critic, but more pissed at myself for listening to jerk weed. Never again!!! Lesson learned. Would have loved to catch it on the big screen.

Lucy Diamond · 04-16-2008, 02:07 AM

I really liked it. It had all the classic elements and some new tidbits to boot.

AVP2 all the way and the DTS Master Audio mixes to PCM 5.1 on my Receiver beautifully.

Does your middle name begin with "S"?

Beast · 04-16-2008, 02:18 AM

The movie is indeed incredibly dark.

I have my brightness all the way up, and some of the scenes are still difficult to see.

You should turn your lights down instead of up.

supersix4 · 04-16-2008, 02:38 AM

all I can say is wow this is a must buy for anyone looking to show off there system the blacks are amazing and the sound never seems to go below 4.0mbps and really stays around 5.0-6+ ... I just wish they spent less time with the boring characters and more time killing lol, some funny scenes tho, the disk thing and the hospital lol , I just hope they try 3 and leave the people either out or in for like 20 min max

anyone who owns a tv that they feel confident in having good contrast this is a MUST OWN

sweatermeatluv · 04-16-2008, 02:59 AM

At the first, does the baby alien look like he's part predator? His mouth!

rl168 · 04-18-2008, 05:16 PM

I watched it yesterday on DVD, thought I'll get the blu-ray if I like it. I was disappointed with the plot though, feels like I was watching a cheesy horror movie. I think I'm just going to get AVP.
