‘Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem’ Trailer: In the Theater, No One Can Hear You Puke
Tagline: In space, no one can hear you scream. On earth, it won’t matter.
Translation: Because you’re all going to die — gruesomely! No, seriously, it’s gonna be really disgusting.
The Verdict: We’re going to go out on a limb and say that Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is about Aliens and Predators battling each other on earth, creating collateral damage in the form soft, slow-moving humans. We’re not even sure because this trailer pretty much just shows people being punctured, flayed, and just plain tossed around; the ratio of dialogue to repugnant squelching sounds is about one to ten. All in all the movie, directed by a pair of FX producers, looks pretty frickin’ awesome — at least compared to 2004’s Alien vs. Predator, which was a bitter disappointment for people who collect Alien and/or Predator action figures. —Nick Catucci
