That was one of those movies that you go into expecting very very little, and end up pleasantly surprised at how fun and engaging it was.

It's not particularly memorable, but it is a very solid movie to kill some time with.

Quote HistoryQuoted: You know how you know it was a bullshit movie about marines? Not a single alien got pregnant. co-worker and former marine talked about "one time we went...." as a group to one of the crayon eater's mom's house on leave. The end result was the retard in the group snapped her cat's neck and threw it under the couch and banged the mom.... then end. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It’s the “Staff Sergeant” drinking game movie. When said do a shot.  I don't get it, how else would they address him? You know it's the Army that lumps all SNCOs into the "sarge" category, right? Marines address them by their proper rank as a sign of respect because they get it the old-fashioned way, they earn it.  (Ignore the "Gunnys" "Tops" "First Shirts" "Master Guns" etc)

Than Aaron Eckhart guy is a crybaby. Same annoying crap when he played Harvey Dent. Battle LA would have been great with better casting, I hated that movie.

Liked it, needed more armor. I never saw an alien weapon larger than a walking 240 which had a hard time taking out a city bus.

The lack of gender-affirming pronouns by the actors was very disturbing. Also, nothing was said about the environment: All the characters in the movie do is fire their big guns and deplete the ozone with carbon which science has proven to be responsible for man-made climate change.
Worse yet, there was only token reference made to racial and gender equality written into the script. Because the movie completely ignores racial, social, economic and climate justice, it shamelessly promotes the cisgendered white male patriarchy and completely ignores intersectional discrimination by underage transgender and biracial people of color. The movie doesn’t address the real social problems our global community is fighting and should be banned as dangerous white nationalist propaganda, created by climate change deniers to undermine utopian multiculturalism. |

I really do like the movie. The perfect alien invasion, kick back and watch movie.
I went to it with my GF and her best friend. We first saw Paul (alien movie) and then we snuck into Battle LA. Great movie night, lol. |

I liked the scene where the alien aircraft surprises them and you see all of the retrorockets firing as it changes orientation. It was kind of creepy and reminded me of something out of Quake.
I also thought it was a nice change of pace to have the aliens be vulnerable, sometimes even tactically sloppy. Too many movies portray them as perfect, with impenetrable shields etc. |

I honestly wonder how many people who supposedly hated the movie actually watched the shitty sci-fi Channel knock off "Battle of Los Angeles" movie, and never actually saw the theatrical "Battle: Los Angeles" movie that this thread is about.
 I can get that some people don't consider it amazing movie making, and it's certainly no Citizen Kane, and is more of a fun amusement park ride.of a movie - but for people to say that it "sucked" or is "shit" or that its a terrible movie - makes me wonder if they are screeching blue-haired liberal Karens, or if they are communists, here to destroy America. That movie is fucking awesome.

I won’t say it’s a good movie, but it’s a neat movie. I like how the aliens are using realistic tech. No lasers or anti-gravity. They shoot kinetic projectiles like us, their craft use jet propulsion like us, they use drones just like us.
Also I like the idea that their tech progressed unevenly relative to ours. It’s like they put all their chips into interstellar travel, so they’re great at that, but their warfare is only slightly better than ours. If anything their tech is slightly superior but their tactics are inferior if anything. I thought that was a neat way at looking at a civilization that arose independently from our own. |

Not sure why people think a movie based on a board game is supposed to be a documentary about naval warfare  While Battle: LosAngeles is every 0311's moto-boner movie, Battleship does the same sort of thing for us retirees. . . almost don't need the viagra anymore!

From a YT comment: "I'd like to imagine that in all these movies with hilariously ineffective alien invaders, said alien invaders are not actually an army or organized invasion force, but more like the galactic equivalent of a Somalian pirate gang." |

Wasn't even close to accurate, and there damn sure weren't shitbirds of that caliber in recon. Hell, they even had to make Highway and the Top a Dogface before joining the Corps just so they could work the battle the movie was named for into the story. That said, Eastwood Eastwooded, so I mostly enjoyed the movie when I wasn't bitching at it. |
