Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The modish shortening – for Aliens vs Predator Requiem – is a hopeful attempt to align the franchise with the likes of T2 and MI:2, but it's nothing more than a tawdry cash-in. We are assured that the directors, Colin and Greg Strause, know the original movies inside out, "know the AVP comics and play the AVP videogames". Whether this qualifies them to make anything of the smallest originality is severely in doubt.
A spaceship crashes to earth – in smalltown USA, naturally – and disgorges a breed of those slimy chest-bursting monsters to terrify the locals. A predator goes after them, and a fair bit of squelchy mayhem ensues. "Are the monsters gone?" a girl asks her mom. "They're gone," she replies. Till the next one.
