Not liking Aliens vs Predator: Requiem is edgelord behaviour?!  I've heard it all now. :laugh:

Sorry, I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers.  I'll leave you all to it.

These JoBlo clips definitely seem to be from a brighter cut:



Some in the comments are saying they don't remember it being this bright.

Comparing the clip, which was posted last year, around the time when this first started streaming on international D+, to our own Blu-Ray captures:





And compared to the trailer, which I'd say has the best color grading still...

That top one's much closer to what I'm seeing on Disney+ tbh

*sigh* That sweet color graded trailer.

I believe only a new AvP film could trigger a remastered 4K release with better color grading. Maybe one day.

City Hunter Yautja

Does anyone know if the Unrated edition has better lightning? I recall watching it on my phone and seeing everything well.

Another thing I like about AVPR is the return of the Aliens shrieks and death cries. I prefer that pitch to the Alien Covenant ones when the claw crushed the Xeno and the Truck impales it.

Performance seems to depend on one's television and blu-ray player. Unfortunately it's a crap shoot.

@Voodoo Magic
I'll have to use Yautja tech to enhance my digital copy then.


Another thing I like about AVPR is the facehuggers lose in the Forest and them going after the hunter and the boy. The rustling of bush leaves was terrifying.

Not even the latest Ridley Scott xeno-movies have achieved that  :o yet ☝️

City Hunter Yautja

I also like the Xenos killing the Guardsmen, its a well done scene, with blood mingling with the rain to cover windshields. The scene makes me wonder if the Brothers Straus wanted to do Colonial Marines film with the Predators in the future, but what hindered them was The Predalien, they wanted to feature it and AVP1 set it up already, allowing them to piece together a easier script since its a sequel to the first film.

As soon as I dig my Blu-ray out (still packed due to moving) I'll check!

My unrated Blu-ray, played on my 4k television, with my Blu-ray player, wins.

That's certainly better than my home media version and what Disney in the UK is streaming.
