Battle LA was a 2 hour informercial for the Marines. ( Which was fine.) Despite the fact that a evacuation that large would be impossible, the Marines would be right in the middle of it.

I just wish there had been more of a story. It was literally a two hour battle. Eckhard was great. So was M-Rod.

I was glad it wasn't full of stupid one liners and alien jokes. There wasn't a forced romance or any precocious kids. My girlfriend said it made her feel hopeless about 20 minutes in, because it seemed so one sided.

It played more like a video game. Street level, police station, bridge level, Big boss final level.

I was expecting the film to be another Independence Day. I'm glad it wasn't. I got my moneys worth.


**I saw this at the Cinema Dome in LA and I'm sure I lost some hearing.
