Battle: Los Angeles

Sometimes the director doesn't flush out and make a character interesting.  And when that happens, you just don't care if a character dies or not because you aren't rooting for them to live.  That's how I feel about Los Angeles.  Every time a building exploded or a city block caught on fire I was like, eh, well, that street probably needed cleaning up anyway.  Lost Angeles is just such a dirty, vile city full of scumbags and deviants.  To stay in the same vein, will the sequel be Battle: Detroit.  The movie will open with a desolate, wasteland and you won't know if the aliens had already attacked or not.

Back to the movie.  It was alright.  If you can imagine a person filming their son playing a war video game with aliens while the camera shakes for two hours becuase he doesn't have a tri-pod, that's a lot like this film.  The acting is above par but the dialague is atrocious.  Think the opposite of King's Speech.

Overall, mindlessly entertaining and will hold off the loud, sci-fi fans for a couple of months until Transformers comes out.  Rating: 6 out of 10.
