"Alien Invasion. Battle for Los Angeles."
I haven't seen anything like this in a long time. 10 minutes of character introductions, all politically correct – a stereotypical staff sergeant (the main character), an African American, a female soldier, a young lieutenant...
Then comes the actual movie. Aliens attack America, and they go wild with happiness – for once, they don't need to ask for the opinion of the international community; in case of victory, there will be a lot of new technologies, and in the long run, all of humanity will unite in a crusade against the aliens' planet.
The aliens arrived from a plush planet – they don't even know that the command center needs to be defended, and after its destruction, all equipment malfunctions. Fighters, agile and maneuverable machines, try to cluster together in a ring at the first opportunity. :smile15:
What could be worse than a large, slow-moving, hovering target? One Earth missile would be enough to destroy the air force.
They only attack by gathering in a group and have no idea about dispersing on the battlefield. Having a lot of equipment and powerful weapons, they don't know how to destroy a few people in a practically open area, and this is while defending their headquarters! The walking missile launchers look funny, but they are slow and unprotected, which means they are useless. Well, that's the way it is with aliens; they have an inhuman logic. :smile47:
However, the marines are also quite strange creatures. In the middle of a battle, they stop, get out of cover, gather in a circle, and start saying high-flown words, like: we carry happiness and democracy to the whole world on our bayonets, what a joy it is to kill everyone who is not like us, etc.
In the battle on the highway, the aliens went forward in an attack, gathering in a group. Perhaps one shot from a grenade launcher would have been enough for them.
But maybe the soldiers were deliberately letting the incompetent lieutenant fail.
The soldiers spent the whole night at a party, then fought non-stop all day, and spent the whole night making their way to the enemy headquarters – and at the end of the movie, after two days of continuous carnage, they cheerfully ran into battle again. So, who was the monster? ;)
Although you can watch such movies only by turning off your brain. Continuous action, a lot of special effects, large panoramas of the battle in the city, a minimum of everything else.
An undisputed leader in its genre; "War of the Worlds" and "Independence Day" at least tried to cover themselves with dialogues or acting, but here everything is simplified to the extreme.
"Reality Benders." It's good that I went with a girl, otherwise I would have died of boredom. Instead of a smart, tense science fiction thriller, there's a cheesy love story. Yes, it's far from "Inception." I was lured in by the advertisement.
