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. 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.

The quality of this movie has nothing to do with low budget, but a complete lack of skills. From everyone. And it's not in the category "so bad, it makes you laugh" either. I'm actually angry that they made me waste at least 10 minutes of my life on this piece of c. Makes you wonder who actually paid someone to make this, was it a lost bet? A rich person that had it on his/hers bucket list? Not a blind person i guess, because even with your eyes closed the FX and dialog's suck. Your four year old niece could probably come up with a more creative idea for aliens after seeing Independence day. The actors must have known about the script and the concept before they signed, because they are of equal quality. Of course, being in so much pain after 10 minutes that i had to turn it off, i might not have seen the whole crew. Isn't there anything positive? Anything? Nope. Unless a few beautiful faces is enough for you. Oh, and isn't it a criminal offense to name the title almost identical to an actually good movie?

The title lured into thinking that this film is Battle: Los Angeles. It took me about five minutes to realize that Battle of Los Angeles is just a crappy "mockbuster", which has a confusingly similar title with the A-class film I thought I'm going to watch. I was first disappointed and angry, but then decided to keep watching. What a terrible mistake! BoLA was unimaginable torture until the end and I'm still not over the shock. I registered to IMDb just to review this film and warn anyone from watching. All the other reviewers are not lying, trust me! Okay, except those who seemingly thought they reviewed B:LA and a few who obviously work for either SyFy or The Asylum. Anyway, BoLA is a perfection of failure: acting, script, characters, special effects, everything... they simply suck. For example, it seems that they bought a Nerf gun from Toys "R" Us, painted it, and alas, there's your advanced alien weapon. What's really sad - or should I say hilarious -is that the director thought a retired sergeant shooting down alien space vessels with a Colt SA .44 six-shooter and a woman - who owes much to Resident Evil's Alice - slicing the flying probes with her Katana look cool. This being said, I actually enjoyed finding the numerous tributes to major sci-fi blockbusters such as Independence Day, Star Wars (EPs 4 and 6), Aliens, MIB, and so on. This film has more rip-off ideas from big-name movies than any other film I have seen.

this movie was so bad i decided to make a booze run because i had to be hammered to even watch it. like with everything i watch i don't base it off of crappy graphics (which there were plenty of) i base it off of the story which was pure... well i would say sh*t but thats not even bad enough to explain how horrible it was. seriously whoever though it would be cool to bring a katana to a alien invasion and attempt to make it look good must of been retarded or watches too much anime. The Title of the movie often confuses people with Battle: Los Angeles which was awesome. if you see this movie thinking you are going to watch Battle: Los Angeles then you will be disappointed.
