Last night David and I made our way out to the ArcLight Theater in Hollywood, CA to see this week’s #1 movie Battle: Los Angeles. As you may recall, back in January we got to see the trailer for the film and based on what I saw, I knew I wanted to see the film when it opened in theaters. The movie came out on Friday but David and I were still in Berlin, Germany … so last night was our first chance to see it and … overall, we both liked it.
To be clear, Battle: Los Angeles is not a cinematic masterpiece. It’s not even the best alien invasion film I’ve ever seen … but it is a fun film with a lot of great action scenes, a pretty decent storyline and impressive CGI. My one complaint about the film is the length … it goes on for about a half hour too long. But the action gets started pretty quickly and doesn’t let up much. The weakest parts are when the film tries to tug at your heartstrings and, let’s be honest, no one is going to see a movie like this for the emotional impact. We want to see aliens, aliens blowing up stuff and humans blowing up aliens. Thankfully, we do get to see a lot of that in this film. It’s not a movie that I would call a “must see”, but we enjoyed it and if the trailer makes you think it’s something you’d like to see, go see it. It’s fun.
Tonight, I’m meeting up with Darion and Josh for a reunion dinner over sushi and then Josh and I are going to see Liz Phair at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, CA. Happy Hump Day, y’all!!
