Review of Battle: Los Angeles (2011) by Andrew I — 16 Apr 2012
Possibly one of the most mindless films I've ever seen, this is like playing Modern Warfare 3 whilst riding around in a tumble dryer for 2hrs. Although this is ostensibly set in LA, it might as well be Naboo as everything is almost totally CGI, mostly shooting or blowing up.
The aliens are rather unimaginative, yucky and bristling with Kalashnikovs (no, they didn't even dream up some exciting death rays), the people aren't much better. I'm not entirely convinced that the villains of the piece are the aliens and not the movie moguls who think the peasant populace will enjoy this junk once they are inured to wall-to-wall super violence from lantern-jawed meatheads.
Utter tripe. 4/10.
