virag's movie reviews: battle: los angeles (2011)

not as dumb or insulting as independence day--or as bloated, but of course, they didn't have that kind of money to spend.  however...if you are going to make a military/sci-fi movie, you either have to have very few aliens and do the whole gonzo military schtick or be up to your armpits in aliens the whole time.  battle: la had exactly the wrong amount of of tv-movie aliens, and any war movie rated pg-13 is guaranteed to blow dog.  i think i heard this turkey actually made movie-money, so perhaps they will make another one.  undoubtedly it will be as utterly pointless as this one was.
