POA reviews: Battle: Los Angeles

By: Chelsea Hancock

Battle Los Angeles is everything I was hoping it would be! It was cheesy, it was thrilling, it was overly dramatic, and it is so worth the price of admission! And the best part is that Los Angeles was destroyed. At least now they don’t have to worry about forest fires.

Anyways, if you like world ending action movies where all hope seems lost and aliens have crazy lasers that burn faces off and alien dissections and Aaron Eckhart’s delicious, chiseled face than by God this movie is for you.

Perhaps the best part of the movie was the battle scenes. The news camer footage were pretty epic and shot composition was a little odd at points but it worked and it worked well. This movie followed the action movie Independence Day, 2012, Day After Tomorrow, Volcano and Men In Black movies to the T and I was so happy. Is this a defining movie of our generation that will blow your mind? No. But will you get your money’s worth by seeing it? Absolutely. Get some snacks, sit back and enjoy the tale of Marine’s going behind enemy lines to save civilians and watch explosions, heroic sacrifices and internal arguments invade your brain.
