    Battle: Los Angeles

    It is really too bad the producers kept some parts of this movie or it could have been much better. There's NO DOUBT that it is 100% American G. I. super soldier propaganda. I just took it for an entertaining sci fi flick and tried to look past that. The movie also "borrows" HEAVILY from other movies and I found elements of: Hurt Locker, Cloverfield, Independence Day, District 9 among countless others. The themes and scenarios are so cliche it's not funny. One-dimensional lines? Check. Male testosterone driven hero banter? Check. Lame scenes inserted to show the humanity of characters? Check. Alien clicking sounds exactly the same as every other alien clicking sounds in other movies? Check. Soldiers being dragged to their death by unseen aliens in the bushes? Check. Seven marines defeating the entire horde of super powerful aliens against all odds? Check. Chick from Blue Bloods doing nothing except being compassionate to children and the injured? Check. Ethnically diverse group of marines for political correctness? Check. Michelle Rodriguez playing yet another uber-tough role? Check. Having said all this, the action scenes were good and the visual effects quite decent, on par with the top movies. If you expect more out of blockbuster type sci fi movies, I'd say you're dreaming in technicolor. Yeah, it was pretty obvious how rehashed the presentation was, but there were some original parts too. It could have been much better by removing some of the worst dialogue and overused techniques.
