DVD Of The Week: Alien Vs Predator: Requiem

Alien Vs Predator: Requiem is this weeks DVD of the week!
I can't believe that there is anyone out there that does not know the history of these two races, but let me fill you in just in case....

The Aliens were created by the Predators as an enemy worthy of battle in their rite to passage. 2004's Alien Vs Predator was set in remote Antarctica and therefore left most of the Human race unaware of what was happening, and was criticised by many as being too mild for a film of such epic battle proportions.

The sequel, does not suffer in the same way, and the DVD has seven minutes of extra footage that was deemed too extreme for the cinema, nice!
Set immediately after the end of the first film, the Predator ship is leaving earth when a chest burster erupts from the dead Predators body, in the ensuing fight a Predator fires at the hybrid PredAlian and the ship is holed and crashes to Earth in the Colorado Woods, the PredAlian and some facehuggers escape. In the meantime the ship has sent a distress signal which is responded too, as is there want, by a single Predator... mayhem ensues!
