Daft Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I've found myself quite looking forward to this. Apparently studio execs are very pleased with it and I'm getting a good vibe from it, too. It's meant to be like Black Hawk Down meets aliens in Los Angeles - in my book, awesome. Battle: LA stars Aaron Eckhart and Michelle Rodriguez and is being directed by Jonathan Liebesman. The plot centers around a platoon in LA, fighting off the invading aliens. The flick hits theaters on March 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog-amoto Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 There's loads of alien films coming out in 2011 for some reason. IGN had loads on their movies to look forward to article a few weeks ago. Think there's about 6. Just as long as it's better than Skyline! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayseven Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hey, MW2 got a movie! Except, y'know, with aliens in and shit. Potential: Set phasers to stun! Actual: Lol phasers? Dude this is 2011, we only have guns, and guns go bang. Yeah, I see holes. 7/10 :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) "When you invade a planet for its resources" ... unless they're interested in obese people, I think they may have overshot and got the wrong planet! :p Does look pretty cool! Has a very District 9 look/vibe to it, only this time it's war! Edited January 13, 2011 by Retro_Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxigen_Waste Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Lol @ the South African director. Trying to re-create District 9, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goafer Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Film looks ok. Will probably watch it at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Looks pretty good. Terrible title though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) Looks interesting, but from the title I was expecting less like an alien invasion film and more like Red Dawn. But I guess something else but aliens invading America is too controversial. Unless the aliens are commies.

Murr Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Saw an awesome trailer for this last night at the cinema. Can't fucking wait... serious goosebumps while watching the trailer. really really looking forward to this one. not the trailer I saw, but clip of the movie - http://uk.ign.com/videos/2011/02/22/battle-la-clip-can-not-lose?objectid=14246472 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Supposedly the film is shot in a horribly ADD style. Think Bourne Supremacy only a million times worse. I can't see this being great but better than the woeful Skyline I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I don't know why people get so annoyed by handheld camera effects. It's really irrational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Apparently it gives some people headaches/nausea but they're probably just paying too much attention to it. I didn't even notice anything unusual about the Bourne Supremacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 I've only absolutely hated it during Transformers. Made the thing unwatchable, but then what do you expect from a man who calls his technique "fucking the frame". What an utter void of talent he is.

The Peeps Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I've only absolutely hated it during Transformers.

Other films have been fine but Transformers was really bad for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachRider Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Wish they dumped this politically correct invasion of the America in favor of the real badass invasion force. I would like to see a remake of Red Dawn where Iran, N.Korea and rogue Russians (it's always rogue Russians) invade American mid-West, led by the evil zombie colonel Ghadafi. Charlie Sheen can fight them off with his brain, and Bruce Willis can play Mr. President. The evil forces will dominate and be near victory, when in the last five minutes, Chuck Norris will appear and high-kick them all into oblivion. YEAH!

Daft Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 No, I didn't even see the God damn thing. Skyline is a better movie than this. Then again, I honestly didn't think Skyline was all that bad. A good B-movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 A very: "Leave your brain at the door and watch shit explode" kind of film. I found it watchable but just really really stupid. It's like a step above Independence Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog-amoto Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I've just been to see it, I actually quite enjoyed it even though it was ridden with every cliche in the book. It was kind of like watching a very long cutscene from Gears of War or Halo. I couldn't help but thinking that this could be easily made into a game, albeit a generic FPS.
