BrianSez's Review

Summary - Barely OK 2.0

I’m a sucker for Humans v Alien movies, and when the humans are Marines, I’m a goner! One of my all time favorites of this genre is Starship Troopers. Battle of LA taps in to that same Hoo-Rah! Get them! emotion. It has sort of an aliens in Mogadishu feel. Although it has plenty of moments of suspense and action, as well as decent special effects – it fails to get past too many servings of cheese and overly-cliche depictions of war-time Marines.

Acting - OK 2.5

I swear that Aaron Eckhart was trying to talk like Clint Eastwood in this film, except it came across more like he was whispering in baritone — and all to make it seem like he was the strong, silent underdog type. Actually, most of the cast came across as decent actors — but suffered the penalty of being given such cheesy scripts to work with.

Film - Barely OK 2.0

Should I really have expected more from Liebesman? No, not really – but like I said in the beginning – I’m a sucker for these types of films — I’ll never learn.

Edge - Risqué 1.7

Reality - Supernatural 3.1
