[Mass Effect] Why are Reapers so... dramatic?

Sovereign speaks in what sounds like prose. They're giant cuttlefish that make loud noises and have red death beams, destroying cities as they fall from the sky. 

Are they being intentionally theatric?

Spoilers for the Mass Effect series, obviously:



Each individual reaper represents the collective consciousness of an entire species. Their prose is formal because their relationship to the listener cannot be familiar. 

Also, they kind of are being intentionally theatric, because they want to inspire awe so that they might more easily harvest you.
