Battle LA

My favorite review:

"It was like watching someone else play a videogame while someone operated a jackhammer next to you, for 2 hours."

Just saw it. It wasn't bad at all. If you are looking for story, you won't find it here. But it was definitely a decent action flick, along with a USMC recruiting tool. :)

Nice to see the military portrayed in a positive light for a change (in a film not about WWII).

Turn on the news right now. They are portraying our military very well for their efforts in Japan.

Operative word being "movie". :)

But I agree. The types of things we are doing in Japan do help the image of our military, and our nation as a whole.

I didn't notice that you used that word :confused:

I get your point though

i haven't seen it yet but based on reading the tag lines i'm assuming it's basically independence day (aliens invade, through trials and tribulations we figure out how to defeat them) with 10x better special effects minus will smith's charisma

Kind of... honestly it's a lot less of a sci fi movie than it is a straight up war movie.

Ok, looks like I'm skipping out of work early today to see it......thanks for the reviews.

I have download links for the movie. Cam recorded, but it is decent quality. It's in three files and you will have to wait an hour between downloads. But hey it's free fugers! PM if you want it. All you need is a media player or VLC player to watch.

You little criminal you. :cool:

[Jangler]

Not me. I didn't do it.

Hurry up though, I will delete that post soon.

Anybody know of any sites where I can watch it streaming? :D

Saw it. The first half had me hooked. This area is my stomping ground, I've lived in the coastal areas of LA/SD counties for most of my life and they nailed the setting damn well even though it was shot in baton rouge.

The action was pretty good, very chaotic and similar to war movies, but after awhile it gets mind numbing. I feel like this film deserved a better script and direction and I wish they hadn't simply just aimed it at the cash cow PG-13 crowd. An R-rating would have helped, but for $100 million dollar movie it looks damn good. I still enjoyed it though, worth the ticket if you like sci-fi/monster movies.
