Fairly good action flick, had my clinging to my Husband's seat/arm a couple of times because I wanted the crew to escape the menacing aliens. Lots of great action and very few slow or overly romantic moments. Go see it!

Not bad at all. If you have a good eye or don't have movement sickness than I'm sure you will enjoy this movie. The camera filming is that of Cloverfield (shakes constantly as if someone is recording it through a hand cam)but in this movie there is no complete need for it. It gets bothersome at some points. The story isn't bad though the ending isn't really fully satisfying but the special effects are mind blowing! There is a lot of cheesy "We will get through this" soldier crap but other than that a solid 4 thumbs up! Enjoy

I went into this movie thinking “hey it’s gonna be a mindless popcorn movie, no brains but lots of excitement and explosions – maybe a few surprises” - A movie like this could have been smart like District 9 or dumb and fun like Independence Day. This is neither.
I ask – how can you blow up Los Angeles and make it dull? Watching this movie is like watching someone else play ‘Call of Duty’… it kind of looks cool at first, but gets old fast. The whole movie is filmed by handheld camera, to give it a more ‘realistic’ feel (I’m guessing.) It only made most scenes jumpy and choppy and difficult to follow. “Bam” you’re in a hallway – “Bam” you’re on the floor – “Bam” you shooting at som

I have no particular preference for sci-fi films but I really enjoyed this one. Battle LA gives insight into what those in the army face. And most people will peg this as an "alien" movie, but the basis of any sci-fi movie is really about philosophy and the question of the human spirit. Loved this movie, but I will admit the documentary/shaky filming style gave me a bit of a headache

Classic lines like: "you've got to be my little marine" "you're the bravest soldier i've ever seen" (except for me) and, "We already had breakfast, sir!" made me and my buddy laugh. Tension filled moments like, They're coming! Keep stabbing that injured one until you find a weak spot. There, good -it's dead. Where was that last spot you stabbed it? That must be the weak spot. These aliens don't go down like video game bowling pins. They and their machines are weak. Regular citizens could have wiped them out from their apartment arsenal. I felt sorry for them. Hoo ha.
