Title: Too much military/war movie not enough sci-fi
Product review: I had heard good things about this film and was yet again disappointed. I like sci-fi movies but this was more like watching a military/war movie and less like watching a sci-fi film. If you like war movies with a little twist of sci-fi then this is for you. Otherwise stick to watching Saving Private Ryan for good war movie or War of the Worlds or Cloverfield for traditional alien/monster mashup. The last sci-fi film I truly adored was Cloverfield - that was a movie that's part of our collection to watch and re-watch. Battle Los Angeles won't make our movie collection. Last time we made a mistake by listening to critics when District 9 came out - we bought the DVD thinking it would be great and it was terrible. Battle Los Angeles we rented and is at least better than District 9 but not what I was looking for in a sci-fi flick.
