Battleship with Liam Neason looks realy good coming in 2012.
 
When I saw this thread I thought Scott was referring to the daily commute Los Angelenos must make :eek:

The trailer looks good but commenters are making fun of the Battleship game tie-in.
Shutes and Ladders+ Connect 4...the movies!
 
Just watched this well it was better then i thought...think "black hawk down" meets "independance day".
Alians invading they should have had massed armies from around the world fighting the invaders.

That would be on the BIG scale. This film was just in a 24 hour period in one location with one platoon. Great old cliches!
 
it was dumb but a lot of fun, it did have a very cool scene, where the aliens splash down off the la coast and then you see them coming out of the water in formation blasting,^&cool
 
Late to the party, as usual. Too cheap to buy or rent, so waited for it to show up on cable. Just saw it today and was very impressed in terms of a sci-fi/war flick. Very entertaining with non-stop action. Gritty and great urban battle scenes. -- Al
 
Saw this the other day, here is my review -

OK, yes, another invasion of Earth by alien aggressors film. This time it’s comets hitting the water and the invaders emerge from the surf. The film follows the experiences of a small group of Marines (from the same regiment as Eugene Sledge of ‘With the Old Breed’ and ‘The Pacific’ TV series as it turns out) who are sent to rescue some civilians trapped in the ‘infestation zone’. As others have written, it is mainly a war film but the Sci-Fi element utilises some of the aspects of horror films too. It was genuinely tense at times and the camera work emphasizes the grit, dirt and violence of urban fighting. There are plenty of explosions and not everyone makes it out alive. There’s not a lot of time spent on character development and it’s hard to believe that real marines would engage in some of the exchanges that take place. Some of the visuals are fantastic! Yes it has some of the usual features (clichés) of other films of the genres mentioned and some developments are predictable but overall it is a pretty good action flick. 4 stars
 
I saw it, too, and enjoyed it for what it is. "BHD" meets "ID" is a pretty apt description.

Some clown on the IMDb posted a complaint that the movie advocates torture, because of the scene with the captured alien. Pretty much everyone told him, "Lighten up, Francis".

Prost!
