I was rather disappointed with Battle Los Angeles. I was expecting a lot more substance. It has a distinct low budget feel. You don’t learn to care for any of the characters. In fact I ended up routing for the aliens by the end. They used the old jerky camera technique to make it feel like you are thiere with them, or so I would assume. But unlike other movies that did this due to a character in the movie itself was supposed to be carrying the camera, in this one that is not the case. So why the jerky camera throughout this crappy movie? No reason, just in hopes of making it better I guess.
In general this is a rip-off of another low budget Sci-Fi alien attacks movie called Skyline (2010). That movie was much better than I was expecting, and it actually works. If you want to see a decent low budget alien attack movie, watch Skyline, and forget this waste of time.
4/10 (is being kind)
