Alien vs. Predator/ Alien vs. Predator: Requiem Double Pack [DVD] [2004]

Very good

Ok let me try to unravel the 3 stars i gave to the box set.Film 1 Alien V Predator is a nice shiny blu-ray offering whos main voyable is that it loses itself a bit in its own plot and at 1 point i though i was watching lara crofts tomb raider! The film tells the tale of polar expedition to uncover a mystery heat/power source that a companies satellite has picked up from space. Further probing has revealed an ancient pyramid buried deep under the ice at the pole so a team is brought into investigate it. The pyramid is a right off passage site for the predators to hunt Aliens. So the interferring team gets caught up in something bigger than they can handle.Ok so its not an amazing film but a perfectly viewable movie and if the price is good worth a watch. The disc contains both the extended and cinema relase versions of the movie. The visuals are stunning in 1080P and the soundtrack is multi channel DTS-HD with options for Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. No real extras to speak of but worth a 4 star for me....Onto AvP Requiem the 2nd offering in this double packOk so this movie was worth about 1-2 stars primarily because it was so dark..... When i say dark i mean the lighting on this film blu-ray is appaulling. Even daytime scenes are drenched in darkness. Now i like a dark horror film but this is something else. Even with my LED backlight TV turned up to full it was at times near impossible to see the action without giving everything that horrible grey grainy look you get when the backlight, brightness and contrast have all been ramped up to get a visual on the screen! I tried it on a neighbours setup and it was even worse (so i suppose the LED backlight was doing something)I did soldier on and watched the movie and to be honest if you have seen the 1st film and thought the plotline wasn't great then your not going to be impressed with the plot in this. It was pretty much all over the show (though i do admit my irritation with the dark visual did taint the viewing).The film is 1080P and the audio is multi channel DTS-HD with language options in French and German and subtitles in Dutch, French German, Danish, Finish, Norwegian and Swedish. With deleted scenes and stills gallery included.So I guess you have been warned! I wish i had read some of the reviews on the 2nd movie before i bought the set. Having said that this box set regularly drops in price so i don't feel had! just a bit miffed!The Blu ray picture quality was lost

Quite happy to have received this order this quickly

I'm not going to talk about the movies script because i assume that if you are looking to buy this is because you already know.So i'm going to comment on the quality of the contents,image, etc...AVP 1 is a very good HD movie, not the best quality i have seen, but still very good, and in one disc you have the theatrical version and the Extended one (if you din't saw the movie go for the extended one). But the BRD does not have any extras! In fact in my LG BD570 the movie does not have a main menu. It only ask what version you want to see and goes directly to the movie. But still the HD quality of the movie its good enough to buy it.AVP 2 is a decent HD movie but because the original was so dark, this version will make you think that your tv brightness is on a low level. Still this is how the movie was made.To compensate, on this version you get more blood and gore that was removed from the theatrical version and a decent amount of extras. I personally liked the wayland-yutani archives that gives you a very good amount of info about the 2 species of aliens (not all the information but enough for you to not have to read the comic books to get this kind of information).The package gives you a 2 disc case and a paper cover. None of the movies (discs) has BD-Live.

Excellent Delivery Amazon !!I like the first AVP movie .. much better than Alien 3 and Alien - Ressurection BUT AVP2 .. that is so bad.
