Ebert Reviews Battle: Los Angeles

Battle: Los Angeles :: rogerebert.com:

“‘Battle: Los Angeles’ is noisy, violent, ugly and stupid. Its manufacture is a reflection of appalling cynicism on the part of its makers, who don’t even try to make it more than senseless chaos. Here’s a science-fiction film that’s an insult to the words ‘science’ and ‘fiction,’ and the hyphen in between them. You want to cut it up to clean under your fingernails.”

I sometimes wish studios would make even more movies like Battle: Los Angeles, just so Ebert can write about them.
