There are a lot of other pointless characters which are fortunately killed off rather quickly. The main characters include Kelly, played by Reiko Aylesworth, her daughter Molly (Ariel Gade), Dallas (Steven Pasquale) and his brother Ricky (Johnny Lewis). I can’t quite believe this is in an Alien movie. Ricky the pizza boy, likes a girl called Jesse and it’s all full of teen angst. It actually feels like a soap opera at times. The movie starts off introducing you to the main characters, trying to build some kind of backstory for them. For starters the script is full of ghastly characters. What can I say? Salerno makes Anderson look like an award-winning scriptwriter. He previously did extensive re-writes to Paul Anderson’s script on AvP. The script was written by hack-for-hire Shane Salerno. The concept of aliens invading a small town is just beyond ridiculous. So this is what Alien and Predator franchises have become? It just boggles my mind how this movie was greenlighted in the first place. Meanwhile, a group of townspeople must work together to survive. A lone Predator is sent from the Predator homeworld to destroy the aliens and the hybrid. The hybrid escapes along with many Facehuggers and the whole town is overrun. The movie takes place straight after the first AvP and the Predalien causes a scout ship to crash onto a small town in Colorado called Gunnison. I’ve generally avoided the movie like the plague but I ended up with the Blu-Ray set a while ago so I thought I’d review it for the website. This is the second time I’ve watched AvP Requiem after seeing it when it first came out.
