Although it was not a smash hit by any stretch, Alien vs. Predator delivered a solid revenue stream for 20th Century Fox. 2004 marked the first round but we would soon be set for a rematch. This time however, Paul W.S. Anderson would not be the proverbial referee for this encounter. The reigns were instead turned over to two brothers who were self-proclaimed “lifelong fans.” After being turned down on the previous entry, Colin and Greg Strause were given the rights to direct a sequel. A release date was set for Christmas 2007 shortly thereafter.
The Strause Brothers came from a visual effects background and promised a more practical approach to the titular monsters. To combat a certain legion of fans disappointed by the perceived neutering by the studio, they also promised an R rating. Their story would pick up immediately after the events of the previous film, with the newly formed “Predalien” wreaking havoc on a small Midwestern town. Conveniently, a surviving Predator simultaneously arrives to play cleaner and delete any trace of extraterrestrial presence on Earth. After 52 days of shooting in Vancouver, the movie was ready for post-production in time for the holiday season.
Was this second attempt at pitting these two against each other a vast improvement? Did this movie bring any Christmas cheer to our three hosts or was it a massive lump of cinematic coal? For the answers to those questions as well as some “befitting comments” about seeing the movie, give it a listen.
Be sure to tune in next week for the boys’ reviews of Prey, which is hitting Hulu today.
