AvPR Article in Empire Magazine

[The Chibi Kiriyama]

I'm sure the kid brings gravity and innocence in the middle of a creature war within the movie, but it's a bit negating when the article talks abouit awesomeness and then shows us a still clip of something rather normal for any given film.

She's holding onto Kelly's hand because they're RUNNING away you dunce.

She's holding onto Kelly's hand because they're RUNNING away you dunce.

As per usual, your fervor forces you to Flame for Colin (tm). Don't you remember the post deletion you received after last time?

I'm not saying she shouldn't be running away. I'm asking why we get this still when just about everything up until now has been a credible creature shot.

[Noir-Gojira]

Know what would rule?

A movie that combined both awesomeness and existentialism.

One step at a time, Sil.

Are none of you considering that maybe Paul Anderson is just an idiot? Besides, what other excuse could he make for making that abomination?

[Xenomorphine]

Anderson works on the cheap. It's part of his appeal.

Yeah, but he points out in the commentries that they didn't even have enough money for more than one or two torches. They had to do some camera tricks to make it look like there were more than they could afford.

One thing that I noticed in the Empire article is the in the synopsis of the film. It states that the predator ship that crashes is carrying aliens for training purposes. That could just be Empire assuming, or it could be an explanation for the facehuggers on the ship (or why they indeed let the Predalien grow - a theory I believe Xenomorphine supports).

Training purposes? Interesting... That would seem to support what I came up with, yeah. I'll read the scans a bit more thoroughly.

Wonder what would cause the Predalien's three-year ship captivity to come to a sudden end, then. Predator sabotage?

Maybe Sean connery will come out of retirement to play the Predator Captain.

Awesome existentialism?

Sounds like a fun course. I wanna' teach it. Or at least be signed up.

[Xenomorphine]

I just checked. It says only that the ship is meant to be carrying eggs, not that it's there for carrying out training.

Still, the apparent gap of three years would have to somehow be explained, if that's the case.

[Sheriff Eddie Morales]

Thanks for the scans.

You just aren't prepared for the sheer impact of its awesomeness, dude. This shall be awesomeness beyond your wildest, most awesome of awesomest dreams.

You know why?

Awesomeness, pure and simple.

[War Wager]

On the subject of awesomeness, that is the Predalien summed up in one word. It doesn't look as it should, but it looks a heck of a lot more awesome than it would have.

2007: A Predator ship carrying Alien eggs crashes outside a small US town. Townsfolk are impreganted, chaos ensues and an elite Predator is sent to the clean up the mess. AVP REQUIEM

So AVPR takes place in 2007, i remember heading that this movie takes place the same year as AVP.

Colin said onthe main site of AvP Galaxy that AvP-R takes place right after AvP. So it's 2004. And then AvP-R could be a real sequel to AvP (altar scene, you know guys). See:

Um, this movie takes place right after AVP, so it ain't 2007.

[War Wager]

It's not our fault ^. It was Empire that guessed that was the year.

[Xenomorphine]

At least that's confirmed, then. Thanks for catching the detail.

It's going to be weird maintaining that a Colorado town got wiped out in 2004, from our present standpoint, though.

[Don Dorris]

I just checked. It says only that the ship is meant to be carrying eggs, not that it's there for carrying out training.

Still, the apparent gap of three years would have to somehow be explained, if that's the case.

The bit I refer to is in the orange section entitled 'Briefing' where it states under plot: "A ship carrying Aliens - destined to be killed by Predators-in-training - crashes in a small US town."

Of course it does say some things we know are false, so it could just be empire assuming like I said: "A team of Predators is sent to clean up. Kelly O'Brien (Aylseworth) attempts to lead the townsfolk to safety."

I have the magazine. It says "An elite Predator is sent to clean up the mess" or something like that.
