Battle: Los Angeles (2011)
I must say I really have no idea why I went to see this one. I knew I would most likely hate it and curse myself afterwards because I wasted my money on this crap, but still I went. Guess there was a part of me thinking that just maybe they would once make a good sci-fi action movie and this movie surely had some potential for it. I liked the idea that it's a war movie but the human army is just fighting alien invaders, but as so often this also was filled with utter brain numbing nonsense. I mean a movie which would follow the chaos in the eyes of a military unit would have been just fine, but first of all this movie falls for the old trap of over explaining. I mean aliens are quite fantasy in them selves, do we really need to know why they are doing what they are doing? And do we really need to get it spelled out for us? And why the hell do we always have to follow the guys who turn out to be the biggest heroes of the whole war? Bah. So basically it's a movie that follows the same script as any of it's kind, first the humans take a beating, then the common man rises and finds the weakness, they fight back and kick alien ass. Woohoo, America rules, marines are kick ass, god bless the army and all that shit... And it really didn't help that the movie looked like a stock studio movie without any finesse to it. It felt like the director had no sense of how to frame the story just slapping the camera where ever it ended up in. The acting was not great either, but then again the dialog they were given didn't surely help it. Intriguing idea fitted with a bad script told straight forward without any idea results in a bad movie.
