I am not even going to waste my time writing an extended review for Battle L.A. – it was terrible. No kidding, there were at least four or five times during the movie when I said to myself, “I hope this is the end.”

And – ask my friends – I am an alien geek, so I really wanted to love it.  But I could not.

The action scenes were not even that entertaining.  Most of them were so blurry that you could barely make out what the aliens looked like.  Other than a brief mention of the other-worldly species “wanting our water,” you don’t learn a thing about them – which, in my opinion, would be the best part of such a movie.

I laughed out loud when they blatantly copied off of Independence Day at the end of the film.  One military unit figures out how to take down one of the ships, and then – rah rah – the “way to kill those bastards” is sent out across the globe.

But at least we got to see Michelle Rodriguez play another tomboy character.

You know, for the 5th or 6th time.
