646f9e108c In January 1942 US forces engaged an unidentified flying object above Los Angeles. Now almost 70 years later, the alien invaders have returned. Nobody likes to admit it, but we all do it. Everyone reduces the speed of their cars to a near crawl to rubberneck across the road the twisted remains of a tragic car crash.<br/><br/>And if you're looking for the movie equivalent of a multiple car pile-up, look no further than 'Battle of Los Angeles' by Asylum Studios. In fact I've actually turned into a bit of a junkie for these spectacularly bad movies by Asylum Studios and am seriously considering buying DVDs of all the movies they've made. If there was an academy award for 'Ballsiest Choice of Movie Title', these guys would win it every year, hands down. 'The Terminators', 'Almighty Thor', 'Alien vs Hunter', '2012:Ice Age', 'The Day The Earth Stopped'. If there was a 'Duping the Public into buying the wrong DVD award', they'd win that too.<br/><br/>The barnyard production values are almost reminiscent of a school play. You could almost picture a school teacher desperately trying to get some enthusiasm from the actors who would rather be doing something else. <br/><br/>The story itself is from the same cookie cutter mold as are most alien invasion movies nowadays. Aliens either want our planet, it's resources, or maybe they've just started receiving the 1st broadcasts of Americas Got Talent and believe that the humane thing to do would be to put us out of our misery.<br/><br/>In any case, don't try to make sense of this one. Stop being a critic for a while and just enjoy this movie as it cranks up the hammy acting, senseless action and moronic story telling to the max.<br/><br/>This is poor movie making at it's very best. I saw a movie worse than the original Stargate. So cheap they didn't bother hiring extras to make it appear that it was a MAJOR city under attack. The setting should have been a small town and the aliens should have attacked at night. The ship was cgi, the blowups were cgi they couldn't make tiny cgi people–There were tiny cars. I refer to the opening scene, specifically the alien's opening attack. I was warned then and there but I thought it will get better–No. I saw one dead civilian in a parking lot, a highway, whatever. The arm forces (one couldn't pay me to guess which branch they were) running around, screaming, shooting, running some more, screaming some more. The guy form the 1940's gets big intro and does nothing as far as I watched which was an hour. Ninja gal gets introduced my sense of someone insulting my intelligence raises to levels I can no longer ignore and I went to bed. <br/><br/>My thoughts are paralyzed in terms how further I should go describing the badness so I'm going to stop. Sometime in the very near future I'm going to watch Independence Day.
