The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Battle: Los Angeles (2011)

Starring: Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Pena, Bridget Moynahan
Director: Jonathan Liebesman

Premise:
Aliens attack the globe putting crafts outside twenty major cities. Marine forces in L.A. fight for their survival and civilians left behind while trying to take out the enemy.

My Take:
Not a lot of horror here but plenty of tension early on in the battle sequences.
Sort of typical big budget studio movie with holes in the scrip and big effects. I'm fairly jaded on these types of movies but I've sat through far worse.

Rating: Warning
