I really liked Battle: Los Angeles. I thought it was Black Hawk Down with aliens.

I actually really liked that the movie pared down the alien invasion to one platoon of Marines rather than focusing on the entire invasion. The reduction of field made the movie more intimate and raised the tension considerably. Fog of war and whatnot.

Also, I like high-concept movies that aren't afraid to be pure action.

Not to mention Aaron Eckhart's character was very intriguing!

Wasn't too shabby even though not very original. A real treat on Blu-ray. The dts HD audio gave my receiver a good workout.

I bought the blu-ray without seeing the movie first.  I wish I had rented it instead and bought something else.  Pretty average video game type movie.

I saw it in the cinema and didn't mind it at all.  I saw it as a war movie with aliens in it rather than science fiction.

It wasn't bad. I was expecting a quick, semi-entertaining time killer and that's what I got.

As true as this is, i thought the film was Mediocre and boring.

Want a science fiction war film, watch: District 13.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
