Review of Battle: Los Angeles (2011) by Callume123 — 21 Mar 2011

The worst film I have ever come to watch. After wasting five pound on an entry ticket and another five pound on a bag of minstrels and a coke, watching this poor excuse for a film put me down. I ended up leaving an hour in due to its repetitive scenes, horrible acting and cheap special effects. I enjoyed Avatar - a film widely remarked as full of action with a bland storyline - but this is a whole new level of obscenity. I wouldn't be able to name you a single character from the main squad, all I really cared was that they died before the two and a half hours of pathetic movie were over. Okay, so all the marines had the right gear, they acted like marines, and had a couple of rifles that made us shout 'Ha, its the M16 from Call of Duty!' and then realising I would rather be playing that instead of watching the film. As for the tension, it works in a similar way to '2012' the whole film is supposedly so tense that you end up predicting every part of the movie. For example, my friend said to me 'I bet that helicopter will get shot down straight away'... Spoiler Alert: It did. Out of the 7 of us watching, only 2 remained who watched the remainder of the film, met us and summarised it in about two lines. Again, they didn't know any of the names...

Do not waste your money watching this film because you'll get more value for your money with a length of rope.
