Movie Preview: Aliens vs. Predator 2: Requiem
Two of the staples for the last twenty years of cinematic science fiction have been the Aliens’ and the Predators. Then came AVP (Aliens versus Predator, for those not in the “know”), and audiences everywhere walked out of the theater asking themselves, “Did that just happen?”
Well, looks like we’re in for some more dueling monsters, this time in a setting that reminds much more of the original Predator storyline (aka: foolish humans in a forest with guns). Let’s face it, the aliens are the ultimate bad guys, and the Predators … well … let’s hope they at least give us the time of day every once in a while. I’ll be curious how the explain away the ability for the Aliens to basically create thousands of offspring immediately. Christmas is looking good this year!
Warning: This is an R-Rated Trailer, meaning it contains profanity and explicit visual violence.
On a side note: Am I the only one that visually connects the queen and worker Aliens (Ridley Scott style) to the Hive Queen and her workers represented in Ender’s Game (and subsequent novels)? Perhaps it’s just my lack of imagination, but whenever I picture the buggers, I picture something that resembles these creatures.
