Just Saw this films about 3 Hours ago at MCAS Miramar...
just imagine how great this sounds... Independence day + call of duty = Battle LA. There's no way the can mess this up right?... wrong. I was extremely excited about this film, I was following all the trailers, the viral marketing but the end result was rather disappointing.
Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez did a great job, but the supporting cast was sub par, and the dialogue was crap. The camera work was as shacky as this directors career... seriously, who would hire the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Beginning, B rated director to direct a 100 million dollar project... who's running this studio? if this studio is this desperate for ideas/advice then they should hire me...
well lets get back on track...
Plot summarized: (1)Marines Deploy after the Aliens invade(2) Marines ordered to save cops/civilians at the police station (2) Marines save some civilians (3) The Marines decide to hot wire a bus(really?)during a alien assault (4) they all board a bus and head to base(5) They make it to base after a serious of events and find it in ruins (just like in ID4) (6) The team decides to head for the secondary extraction zone and Blah, Blah, Blah... - sorry, i got better things to do on Friday night...
Battle LA is not a bad movie, Its entertaining and fun to watch but it falls flat rather quickly.
