Love it or hate it you can't deny that fact that if you'll have to go out and get this disc if for no other reason than that kick ass cover art you see there on the right. I like it a lot and if you are any kind of an Aliens fan, you do as well.
Make sure to check out the pics at the bottom of this story. You're going to like em.
I didn't go see this one in the theater so I'm looking forward to this release and I have tell you that they seem to be giving it the royal treatment.
Here's all the details:
America’s own
backyard becomes the most brutal battlefield yet for the iconic creatures from
two of the scariest film franchises ever when Aliens vs. Predator -
Requiem (AVP-R) descends onto DVD and Blu-ray Disc (BD) April 15th
from Fox Home Entertainment. Capturing the magic of the “Alien” and
“Predator” legacies are first time directors and long-time fans of both film
series, The Brothers Strause, renowned for their visual effects wizardry in
such films as 300, X-Men: The Last Stand and Fantastic Four:
Rise of the Silver Surfer. Picking up immediately after the
events of the 2004 worldwide blockbuster Alien vs. Predator, the
Predator gives birth to the crossbreed ‘PredAlien’ shortly before the ship
crashes into a small Colorado town. Caught in between the
invasion of the Aliens and a new ruthless and methodical Predator, a group of
townspeople must join forces to stop the infestation before the military obliterates
the town to contain the outbreak. With thrilling performances by Steven
Pasquale (“Rescue Me,” “Six Feet Under”), Reiko Aylesworth (“24”) and John
Ortiz (American Gangster, Miami Vice), AVP-R breeds
the gritty horror roots of the original films back into the series while adding
fresh, new digital effects and creature variations.
Available on both two-disc DVD and in
high-definition format on Blu-ray Disc, the Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem
Extreme Unrated Special Edition features more than ten minutes of
never-before-seen gruesome footage added back into the movie plus is packed
