Battle LA... it didn't live up to the hype, in fact, I want my money back. It was a average war movie with predictable scenes, way too much dramatic music, unrealistic characters, yet with intense battle scenes... which were pretty good. The aliens they fought were pretty stupid, and the soldiers were ridiculous. Sure like 2 died, but seriously, how did they all survive? The story had all the predictable scenes you would expect.... I just felt like it was nothing new. It was stuff I've seen before so many times. the story was also poorly written. It left you feeling like the story was incomplete. don't waste your money. I want a war movie were the characters are realistic and the enemy aren't so stupid. If they make a video game out of it I could imagine it being very easy to beat. It just was bleh...

It was based (I suspect extremely loosely) on a real event...so the idea for the plot was kinda written by history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Los_Angeles
