Battle: Los Angeles Review

Sweet, fun as coolness movie I really enjoyed after having seen an aggressively mediocre movie and an overall just plain good movie about a month ago. I know some people might be a bit put off by it considering it was done by the same guy who did The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and it might remind them of Skyline somewhat given the premise, but this is way better than either believe me. The story is done before, but it’s like a spiritual successor to Independence Day of sorts and that’s pretty much what I was hoping for when I went in. The acting was pretty good, and the music was really cool and added a lot of intensity to the battle and drama scenes and they actually worked pretty well together. If I had any complaints I think it would be that the alien designs weren’t all that interesting (they looked like Prawns in an early stage of development) and the reason behind the plot was pretty iffy and borderline ill-found. That plot was still more plausible than Skyline though. Anybody who’s interested, check it out it’s a really fun alien invasion action movie fighting against the invaders.
