Synopsis
After a Predalien emerges aboard a Predator scout ship, the vessel crashes near Gunnison, Colorado, unleashing a new outbreak. As the hybrid breeds among the town's residents, a veteran Predator arrives to erase the evidence and hunt every creature involved. Ordinary civilians, returning soldiers, and a small group of survivors are caught between the two species, while the military prepares a final response that threatens everyone left alive.
Factoids & Trivia
- The supplied IMDb ID, tt0758730, identifies Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007), not the 2004 film Alien vs. Predator.
- The film was originally announced under the title Alien vs. Predator: Survival of the Fittest before the final title was selected.
- Principal photography took place in Vancouver, British Columbia, on a 52-day schedule. The production's visual effects team handled roughly 460 of the film's 500 effects shots.
- The filmmakers used a combination of practical creature suits and digital enhancements. CGI was used for elements such as Alien movement, Predator cloaking effects, the Predator ship interior, and the nuclear blast.
- Cinematographer Daniel Pearl pursued a darker, handheld visual style to make the sequel feel more like a horror film and to distinguish it from the brighter, wider photography of the first Alien vs. Predator.
- The two-disc unrated home-video release included both the theatrical and unrated versions, along with production featurettes, creature-design material, galleries, and a reference guide to the Alien and Predator species.
