whoa stopped reading right here......... :dunno


battle LA gets a good 7/10 from me. horrible acting by pretty much everyone except aaron eckhart. without him it it would be 5/10, same as skyline. CGI was ok and nothing out of the ordinary.

It was set in Johannesburg because the writer/director was born, raised, and lived in Johannesburg.  He originally made a short film which was seen by Peter Jackson who was able to get the funding to turn it into a full movie.

Lol . . . Well, that's a little bit better I'll admit.  I still seem to remember it being not very subtle in its parallels to apartied.  But I saw it in the theater, so It's not fresh enough in my memory to comment reliably.
