Battle Los Angeles

Yeah, you pay a $3 premium to see it in 3D (which is almost never worth it). Regular price in a big city is $10-12. A bit less in small towns. In my old college town it was only $8.

Guy at work loved the movie itself, and he kept saying the same thing about it being a video game would've been awesome.
Looks like a great action flick, but as with any apocalyptic invasion scenario, the reviews are rarely good. I do think a bunch of those rotten tomato reviews just like spouting keywords like "cliched" and being part of the majority. Any idiot who saw any of the previews would have realized this would be heavy on action, light on story.

Realizing in advance that a movie will suck doesn't excuse the suck. Also, many MANY action-heavy movies are well reviewed. Hell, I could rattle off a list of movies based on comic book superheroes with a 90+ tomato rating.

I moan about spending £6. Jeepers!

This is why I NEVER go to the movies. Add in the cost of a babysitter at $15/hour and you are looking at $100 easy for a night out with the wife. I'd rather buy the blu-ray sight unseen for $20 when it comes out or just wait for Netflix or HBO to show it. Other than some kids movies (Toy Story 3) the last movie the wife and I saw in the theater was The Dark Knight... and we don't ever plan on going back. This is the reason why plans are underway for a projector and 120" screen in the house. ;D
Battle: LA looks awesomely cheesy ala Starship Troopers so I'll definitely watch it eventually - just not in the theater. :cheers:

At $15/hours I'll baby-sit your kids. We can play arcade games all night. :applaud:
