Battle Los Angeles

Alien Nation and District 9 are both the same premise, but completely different takes on the idea. I like them both, but neither are fantastic films. Alien nation is almost like a lethal weapon style movie, but toss in some recently immigrated aliens and an alien cop as partner. Meh, its worth a watch...it's stars James Caan.

Battle LA was a big budget movie that paid a studio a lot of money to develop the graphics and editing technology to make Battle LA.

That studio then turned around and quickly cranked out Skyline and released it before Battle LA.

Battle LA was a lot better than Skyline.

Skyline is to Battle LA as District 9 is to Alien Nation.

Amateurish rip offs.

It's both, it got turned into a TV show. I haven't seen much of the tv show, so I can't really comment on that.

The funny thing is the Alien Nation's movie ended wrapping up its story line.  District 9 was showing us so many layers of the alien and human relationships it felt more like a made for TV movie that's kicking off of tv series.
