Ok...so I rent this thing outta one of them vending machines for a dollar and change.
I put it on. Lotsa s**t blowing up. More s**t blowing up. More sh....
zzzzzzzzzz.....
Huh...? wha? The phone's ringing....
The movies still on...s**t still blowing up.
I unload the dam thing.


Put in my second rental,the WRESTLER (2008). Now thats a movie!  :thumbup:

From what iv'e heard from people. I don't think you missed anything by taking out the movie. Its pretty much s**t blowing up all the way through.

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.
Felt like I was right in the middle of the battle  :teddyr:

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.

And yet, sometimes S#$t blowing up is all you need. If it's done well...

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.

Just watched this one this weekend.

I didn't hate it or anything; final thought was "not bad."

It was just long for what it was.  After the first two or so firefights, it was awfully redundant.  Pared down and a bit tighter, I think it would be considered an awesome movie by a lot of folks that didn't like it much.

There were things I did really like about it. 

The only reason (and I stress only) reason I saw it was because a South African directed it.

it wasn't as good as it looked by the trailer. but it wasnt' terrible either, it was a medicore film that could have been better with a better script

I rather liked the film.
Especially the aliens and their technology.

It managed to not be as cheesy as Independence Day, and I found it fairly enjoyable.

That being said I watched Skyline just before it, and there aren't many films that Skyline wouldn't make seem better (interesting take on an alien invasion, I just thought the film was dull. The best bits were in the end credits).

Onlly crappier. Waaaaaaay crappier.
