It never ceases to amaze me that all those "movie experts" out there want to judge an action/pop corn movie along side the great movies of our age. First, I admit I saw this film at home on my BluRay (with surround sound). So some of the detractors I've read were mitigated by the smaller screen. For instance, I was not the least bit bothered by the camera technique, sort of the hand-held cam type of action at times. That usually only happened when the Marines were on the run or there was an attempt to convey the mass confusion effect. No big deal, few and far between in my opinion. The battle scenes and sound effects in surround sound were comparable to Black Hawk Down. Very loud, very realistic, very intense. I liked it a lot. Cheezy lines, ridiculous story...sure. It's about Aliens invading L.A., what do you expect! The bottom line is, if you enjoy heroic, action movies, no matter the "ridiculous" factor, then this was actually a damn good movie. Predictable?...Give me a break. Of course it was predictable. I enjoyed Battle L.A. It was fun.
