: Battle Los Angeles
It’s getting a critical drubbing as you might expect, but I’m not sure why. I got exactly what I expected: a decent actioner about a small group of marines fighting off an alien invasion. It’s certainly way better than the awful Skyline that has a similar plot. I was disappointed at the lack of science fiction aspects — we never really get to see the aliens, exactly, nor their technology — but I was somewhat impressed by the group of characters making the last stand and the way they went about it. It’s fairly shallow and the ending is feel-good, but that’s what I expect for this kind of film. Just have fun and don’t take it seriously.
