This film does so many things right and dammit, so many things wrong.
Positives: it's a great-looking film with an excellent cast (for the most part). But its gothic horror and quirkiness whilst admirable in trying to do something different just doesn't fit in with the previous 3 films.
This film leaves me with so many questions though. The `moving and alive' hive for example.

Is was 18 in 1999 and when I saw this film in the cinema I was bored to death watching it. Very disappointed.
Now, I've seen it a dozen times at least and it's in my top ten films of all time. An absolute masterpiece that makes me very nostalgic for probably the best years of my life between 1998 and 2001.

Pretty good outside of some wonky logic and that dumb fire demon at the end.

Immediately killing Shao Kahn is certainly one way to make an entrance.

The highly compressed audio really highlights every detail of the ambience and background sound in a way that's not strictly ideal, but fascinating highlighting the absolute depth of the sound mix.
This is definitely my favourite way to look at the film though.

Got it in 4K, only put it on to check the picture quality, ended up watching it all...
Killer soundtrack on that album.
AvP Requiem. Massive drop off in all departments even from the original AvP. Take all the human characters out and it would be a half-decent AvP brawl film. Absolutely comical characters, even worse story. Cheap looking xenos (though the Predalien is very good). Wolf is the only real highlight of the film.

Cineworld was doing action movie month, so they also had Predator, Demolition Man, Con Air, Speed, and Fury Road this month.
