We all love a good balls to the wall action movie a la Black Hawk Down. We all love us some invading aliens, first of all getting the upper hand only for the relentless human spirit to triumph a la Independence Day. Put the two together, and you've got the quick sell for Battle: Los Angeles. Starring Aaron Eckhart, this movie is coming out early next year. Comparisons to the tragic Skyline are no doubt easy to make (the directors of that particular car wreck actually do the special effects for this movie), but this definitely looks a cut above.
It probably won't trouble the Academy next year, but file under one to look forward to. Enjoy......
At least it has a better trailer than Skyline, which has the kind of acting that ended up provoking laughter.
ReplyDeleteWhen your main actor is a it part player from Six Feet Under and one series of 24, you know you're in trouble. Special effects were good in Skyline, but it was a terrible movie. This looks much more promising :)
