Battle Los Angeles

So, I have been wanting to see this movie for some time now and I finally saw it. So here's my take about the movie:

Synopsis: Earth is being attacked by meteor showers and aliens are coming to take over the earth because of our rich water resource. Los Angeles is one of the last major cities that is being taken over by the aliens, hence the title "Battle of Los Angeles".

Pros: Good special effects (of course!), good choice of actors, they showed the actual "battle" like you would see in a typical war movies, except that the battles were not between humans (well, you get the picture).

Cons: Not enough focus on the aliens and their ships, the movie seemed to end abruptly and I smell a sequel (assuming that it is doing well at the box office), not enough chilling scenes that you'd get when watching the trailer, and not once did I hear the cool soundtrack that they played in the trailer.

Recommended to see: Yes

Overall grade: B+

Well, that's the idea. No spoilers - just an overall thoughts on the movie. I'd be curious to see what others think about this movie. So, please share your reviews here :)

What I liked about the movie: It had a lot of action, and a bunch of twists in the story.

What I didn't like: They really didn't explain the aliens that well.

But I agree with Bojon, I sense a sequel coming.

The movie made US$36 million for the weekend box office in the US, pretty solid opening.
@Chaos - only 3 more days, and if you get to see it, I wanna hear your review!

I went to see it on saturday, it is and really amazing film.
I recommend this to anyone whom wants to see it, lots of action apart from 5-10 minutes at the start.

^True. But, there's something different about seeing it in the theater vs at home :) JMO of course.
