"A/V/P:R"

"Aliens Vs Predator: Requiem" doesn't suck. It consists of stereotypical characters doing exactly what you'd expect in cliched situations. The violence and gore are over the top, out the gate, around the corner and down the road. Events unfold (and enemies spawn) at a pace that defies logic. But it doesn't suck because there's no pretence "A/V/P:R" is anything other than an excuse to watch Aliens, Predators and Terrans do battle. In a darkened cinema, with the sound system cranked to dangerous levels, there were moments when it sorta rocked.

Thanks for the free ticket, PG.


Trivia: There were printed signs in the foyer of the George St Hoyts warning of a "professional pickpocket" operating in the area!
