This is a different take on an invasion of earth. I would say say nothing revolutionary here. But I would say the way of preparing an invasion with nano technology instead of 10 mother ships and 1 million alien spacecrafts do seem more realistic.If you want nice effects and fancy camera work then you should definitely look elsewhere. The acting is not what you will be dazzled by. But come on you do see just as bad acting sometimes in movies with actors that get a higher salary than what this movie production cost in total.If BNY comes one day on the telly or a computer near you :-) when you have nothing better to do then you can try it if you like less action oriented survival movies with few special effects. It is not a movie I would pay a fortune for or I will watch again. But it was okay watching while relaxing a bit.

Let's be honest my expectations were low but they were not achieved. I presume this is a student film that has been released in the hope of securing funding for future film projects. As such any producers or companies out there wishing to invest please think again and maybe donate to the Fund for the Conservation of the Dodo, your money will go to less waste.It's hard to blame the actors who work with a script that has been obviously written using a piece of script generation software from a bargain bin in a supermarket. At times the script does work, in particular when it is covered over by the noisy clicks of the microphone being moved. This is when the script is at it's best. Along with when the actors aren't speaking at all.The effects are particularly impressive using a technique known as 'Shit'. One shot of a body riddled with holes is so obviously an actor laying under a sheet of plastic with bullet holes painted on. This would be classed as genius if it weren't so horribly ineffective. The giant wheels are actually probably the only moderately good special effect in the film with a couple of 'money' shots ($2 each I guess) being passable. However most of the other shots are just magnified close ups of spinning wheels.Now on to the bad bits and I will write these as instructions from a non-film maker to a group of film makers: Showing someones feet running down a sidewalk for 2 minutes every 5 minutes does not convey empty streets, it conveys a sidewalk. Why did you not just close another street using yellow tape and show a long shot but next time hide the yellow tape! A close up someones eyes does not give the impression of fear. What it put in my mind was...she's now got more make up on despite being in the middle of 'Invasion of the Spinning Wheels' Sticking a drill bit onto the end of a piece of sprayed grey plastic is probably not as terrifying as it reads. Actually it doesn't read particularly terrifying either.Zombies are not made more terrifying by having them hold their hands up and making their hands into claws by bending their fingers...while gurgling.Showing The Statue of Liberty 6 miles away across water with tourists milling about it does not make me feel like this is an invasion of New York. It makes me think its an invasion of the docks near New York.So in conclusion, and specifically to the film makers. Well done, nice try and let's be honest you gave it a go. Now go off and get nice little jobs as supervisors in supermarkets or accountants but please if you want to work in the film industry could I suggest....ushers?

There's no "Battle." Giant gyroscopes roll around the empty back streets of what's supposed to be New York City, grab the few remaining humans by the throat and drill holes in their heads, after which they all make noises like a speed metal vocalist. I can see you're already intrigued! Well you can't go wrong with special effects by the McNeil Middle School kids. And let's face it, you'd have to recruit at 3AM from every Waffle House in Crowley, LA (there's one by the way) to find a group of thespians this talented. And evil gyroscopes from outer space? Gotta admit, no one has gone there before, and we hope they never will again.

This is a truly terrible movie. The only reason I watched it was so that I could give a complete and honest review here and warn people not to waste their time.The sound is terrible as they leave a noise in the background throughout the entire movie. I assume this is a simulation of the noise that the aliens are suppose to be making. Of course, with this noise in the background it is near impossible to make out the script... but don't be troubled because the script that I heard was as bad as the movie stars acting in the film.The acting was about the only thing worse than the movie itself. There was really no story line, so, in the actors defense, this probably is the best they could ever do with a movie this bad. We are all safe though as I am almost positive that you will never see any of them in anything else worth watching.Alas, the fickle world of Hollywood.Unfortunately, this picture will probably sell tickets based upon its name, but it is nothing like Battle:Los Angeles and it is almost as bad as Battle for Los Angeles. With all the crap coming out of Hollywood these days, this movie is at the bottom of the pack.Watch it at your own risk because you HAVE been warned!
