From AVPGalaxy.net:-

"Spoilers don't come any bigger than this and it's totally unexpected. Yahoo Movies have got the first five minutes of AvPR available to watch online!

This shows what happens to the hybrid on the Predator ship, how the ship crashed onto Earth, as well as what happens to the hunter and his son in the forest. There's a scene at the end with the Predator homeworld too. That's where Wolf comes from. This clip has also been edited down so in the movie, it'll be longer than five minutes."

Looks so much better than the original just from the first five minutes.
 
A bit of the strain on the eyes... full screens a bit blurry.

Anyhow, are Predators so thick they'd risk blasting a massive hole in their ship?
 
"I'm waiting to be impressed."

Looks pretty decent... for an action flick.

But I doubt it'll be anywhere near as good as Predator. It would be even an even further stretch to compare it to Alien(s).

Can someone tell me what the "R" stands for?

Originally it stood for "R" as in the movie certification in the states.
Then some movie journalists started to say it stood for "Requiem", which Fox nabbed and ran with.
 
I knew that AVP would be a piece of shit the first time i laid my eyes upon it.
Anything that Paul W. Anderson touches turns to shit anyway.
This however looks quite interesting and hopefully it'll manage to fix what AVP broke.
 
I always thought AVP was a good movie just to pirate it or watch it on TV. This one looks pretty good though. The homeworld makes sense so don't say another Star Wars "Mustafar" homeworld. The predators have everything in a lightweight, but super strong steel and the flowing lava makes sense. Poor dad and kid though. :(
 
So that was 2 minutes of horribly paced exposition and 3 minutes of americans acting like idiots per the standard sci-fi clich?. If the dad had only had a texas accent when he said "We'd better go tell the sheriff" it would have been complete. Or, "Watch out son... it might be russian."


...what the hell, I'm still gonna watch it like the whore I am.
 
Requiem is the worst name they could ever have gone with.
 
Well, looks like the action may be entertaining. I won't allow myself to hope for anything more than that just yet.
 
Awww, I saw the title - "AVP-R (AVP2) first five...", and expected it to be the game which is actually under development by gearbox. Pff, the movie will suck. The previous did, too.

You forgot the ship passing past the camera in the very first scene. I think that's in every single sci-fi video game in a cut-scene too.

If you think this movie looks good (even for an action flick) then you need a lobotomy.
 
Good that they didn't spare the kid. Too often nothing happens to kids in movies only because they're kids.
 
Looks shitty but potentially less shitty than AVP.

Seriously. I was thinking while watching it, "They better get that kid. They better get that kid. He's going to run off and tell people about it, because they're pussies and won't let a child get facehugged. They better get that kid." And when they got the kid I was like, "YES! VICTORY!"

If they hadn't, I would've seriously been pissed.
 
Some people really are not ready to even give it a chance are they.

Funny.
 
Looks like it'll be a fun action movie, unlike the first one that was a nonstop cheese fest.
 
Video seems to have been pulled.
 
I'm quite looking forward to it.
 
You guys really don't like going to the movies for fun, huh?

So, nearly everyone went crazy for that shitfest of a movie Snakes on a Plane... yet you can't say the same for this?
Snakes was complete trash but it was fun to watch, AvP:R should be the same.

Wait, so, there's another reason why you go to see movies? That's such an inane, pointless comment. I can have fun watching a movie without it being a poorly written shitfest.

Snakes On A Plane was self-conscious schlock straight from the outset. It knows its cliched and absurd, but it revels in it.

Now you may argue that AvP:R is the same, but here's the main difference.

Snakes On A Plane did not trash any original source material or cash in on two of the most badass franchises ever to make a C-grade monster movie, subsequently spelling their creative deaths.

AvP was a bad Alien movie. It was a bad Predator movie. It was simply two creatures fighting each other, yet with neither the suspense or action that made the previous films so great. They could have at least based it in the Dark Horse AvP setting, in the future with marines. That could have been interesting. But no, they dragged it back to our banal modern horror setting. Bleh.

People don't hate it because they can't have fun at the movies. They hate it because it's a heavy disappointment and it doesn't deserve the title that's graced across it.

The type of people who would go see AvP went crazy for the shitfest that was Snakes on a Plane. Everyone else knew it would be shit and didn't go see it. It only just scraped it's budget in the US boxoffice too.
 
Points taken.

I myself won't be wasting my money to go see it in theaters, but I'll definitely give it a rental.

People`s opinions being passed as fact once again. In that list you linked to I can see at least 4 movies I thought were shit (Sleepy Hollow...please) but that is my opinion.

You guys also seem to be letting your hate for the AVP original influence your views on the sequel no one has seen yet, even though the directors of AVP-R went no where near the original film.

In any case, I enjoyed the original (obviously not as good as the P1&2 movies , or Alien 1,2&3 but surely no-one can say they didn`t think it was better than resurrection) So no doubt I`ll enjoy the sequel, because seemingly you can`t get any worse than AVP 1.
