    majority of the action is close up and hardly visible - too many head shots of that strong jaw guy from Thankyou for smoking.

    daft aliens.

    basic plot.

    cheesy lines.
    Thought so - I saw a DVD the other day titled "Battle _for_ Los Angeles", which looked ten times dafter and cheesier.

    (The cover had a warning "NOT Battle: Los Angeles". So I presume the latter is a remake.)

    Yeah a friend who's into all the alien stuff found it disappointing. More like a Marine recruitment video. Basically a non-stop firefight and sod all story.

    I've seen reviews mention it's equivalent to Black Hawk Down but with aliens. I think that's an insult to BHD, especially as BHD is a close depiction of a real event. The two special forces snipers that sacrifice themselves trying to rescue the downed helicopter crew is particularly poignant as it actually happened.

    I thought about that yesterday when the news said several civilians had been injured during rescuing the crew of the crashed US jet. Adds a different perspective to what could easily be classed as typical gung-ho yanks.

    6.5/10 on IMDB, I tend not to bother with anything sub 7.5.

    Yup, we went to see it a couple of WEs ago and it was absolute sh 1te. It's like District 9 meets Independence Day but not as good as D9 and just as bad as ID.

    if you insist on seeing it then download it.

    I don't think that this is a film you go along to watch for the interesting plot development and convincing characterisation, as long as the effects are good then the film will have done what it's meant to do.
