Packed with adrenaline-pumping action and heart-stopping suspense, this spectacular sequel escalates the war between sci-fi's scariest movie icons!On Earth everyone can hear you scream, especially when a horrifying PredAlien crash-lands near a small C

For those who found 2004's iAliens vs. Predator/i too lightweight in the gore-and-guns department, iAliens vs. Predator: Requiem/i offers a marked improvement in both categories, as well as a respectable amount of rumbles between the title extraterrestrials. Set in the 21st century (which predates the story to all of the iAlien/i features), iRequiem/i sends a crippled Predator ship crashing to Earth in a small Colorado town; unbeknownst to the locals, the craft is loaded with H.R. Giger's insectoid monsters, which make quick work of most of the population. As the human cast is slowly whittled to a few hardy (if unmemorable) souls, a Predator warrior also arrives to complicate matters and do battle with the Aliens, as well as a ferocious alien-Predator hybrid (dubbed a Predalien by the sci-fi and horror press). Visual-effects designers and music-video helmers The Strause Brothers (who make their feature directorial debut here) keep the action on frantic throughout, which is wise, since the dialogue and characters are threadbare at best; that should matter little to teenage male viewers, who are inarguably the film's key audience. Fans of the iAlien/i franchise, however, may find the offhanded nod to the series' mythology given during the finale its sole saving grace. --iPaul Gaita/ibrp br span class="h1"strongBeyond iAlien vs. Predator: Requiem/i/strong/span table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4" tr align="center" valign="top" class="tiny" td width="33%" img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31Fn1aXODJL._AA115_.jpg" border="0"brMore from the iAlien/i Series/td td width="33%" img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/512pJ6YyabL._OU01_SS130_.jpg" border="0"briAVP/i Customer Community/td td width="33%" img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/212ZRAG7CBL._AA115_.jpg" border="0"brMore blu-ray sci-fi from Fox/td/tr /table brbr span class="h1"strongStills from IAlien vs. Predator: Requiem/I /strong/span table border="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%" cellspacing="4"p p tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/fox/AVPR-1.jpg"br /tdp tdimg border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/fox/AVPR-2.jpg"br /td tdimg border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/fox/AVPR-3.jpg"br/tdp tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/fox/AVPR-4.jpg"br /tdp tdimg border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/fox/AVPR-5.jpg"br /td tdimg border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/fox/AVPR-6.jpg"br/td /tr /table /p
