Kazed Reviews: Battle: LA (2011)

When I first saw the trailer for B:LA, I had mixed feelings about it, considering the shitfest that was Skyline had been released around the same time. No matter though, onto the review. So basically, this film was about a bunch of aliens, who invade Earth with no ACTUAL explanation as to where they came from, or why they were doing what they were doing. It was all just so...sudden. But whatever, i care not for this unexplained nonsense. B:LA was an enjoyable film, but the plot was a substandard piece of balls which tried way too hard to be something more epic than it actually was. This, couple with the atrocious one-liners and the 'aliens' ripped right out of a Transformers flick equaled to, well, a disappointment. Don't get this confused with anything else though, for it was only the blegh dialogue and the Decepticons which the brought the film's  credibility a little down. Aaron Eckhart was an incredible addition to the film, and his performance overshadowed the rest of the cast without a doubt. One particular scene where he gave me braingasms was when he was in the F.O.B. talking to a fallen soldier's brother. That 3/4 minute monologue was brilliant. It was Eckhart's expression that made that scene. Although the plot was a little thin, and the dialogue was below average, it didn't detract from the otherwise incredible visuals used in the film. There were multiple scenes where there were overhead views of the war torn Los Angeles, and it was in these scenes that the visual effects looked superb. Granted, they weren't the best visuals I've ever seen, but it worked great with the context of the particular scenes. The destruction, the chaos, the blood, the children dying (TOTALLY kidding) aliens exploding were all little elements that ultimately made an otherwise average film, a little above average. Great effort from the rest of the cast, although not up to par with Eckhart's brilliant performance. The over-the-top (random)explosions and the stunning visuals saved Battle: Los Angeles from it's downfall, but unfortunately, it's downfall was its- uh....downfall. 5/10 EDIT: One thing I forgot to mention was it's handheld style camera-work. I loved this. I absolutely loved it. There aren't a lot of films doing this, but it was a brave move shooting it how it was. So, for this, It gets a: 6/10 Kazed

Very reminiscent of the early Spider-Man films, here we got some footage of Spider-Man/Stuntman/that dude from The Social Network jumping around n shit.

Man, shit looks really cool so far. I'll reserve judgement until I see some solid shit, but as of now it's something to definitely look forward to.

Kazed reviews: Skyline (2010)

Synopsis: Strange lights descend on the city of Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame where an extraterrestrial force threatens to swallow the entire human population off the face of the Earth I'll keep this short. This film was wtf. The film could've done without the first 15 minutes. For realsies. It was complete and utter nonsense. Wasn't needed, wasn't required, wasn't needed, wasn't required. Was.not.needed. Let me give you my list of shit that pierced my rectum for this film:

• The Aliens are never explained.
• Over usage of slow motion, I mean, what the eff? It's used at the most unnecessary time, it really pulled on my pubes.
• The shitty acting
• How it tried to be different with it's handheld-style camera work. Newsflash, dumbass, it's been done.
• BRAINSUCKINGALIENS. REALLY?
• The shitty acting
• The shitty acting

Really, it was a recipe for disaster. The guy from 24, (Eric Balfour) was (I guess) the main character in this here flick, and to be honest with you, I didn't care. Truthfully speaking, the only commendable aspect for the film was the visuals, but even then, it was like two occasions. So, watching it was not that unbearable, it was a watchable film, but then it got to the last 10 minutes, and OH MY GOD. Seriously, what were they thinking? How is that EVEN possible? (Now, for those of you who haven't seen it, <scroll over for SPOILERS> a guy dies, his brain is somehow 'special' compared to others, so this brain gets implanted into one of these aliens, and this alien he becomes, saves his fianceé from possible termination. So then- forget it. Just don't watch it, I beg you) It just didn't make any sense whatsoever, then again, neither did the rest of the film, but this was just blerg. Anyway, gets a 3/10 from me.

World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles

So here's a really iffy trailer I'm really iffy about:

...very iffy. Iffy. Lol iffy.

Seriously though, there just seems to be an excess of Alien films now, with Skyline just recently released, Super 8(Alien?) around the corner, Green Lantern(kinda?), Monsters, and now this? Very blerg.
