Three Battlefields L.A.

There is always a movie I’m looking forward to. These days it’s Battle: Los Angeles. If you haven’t heard about it it, have a Trailer.

(actually I like the first Trailer even more because of the music, but the one above shows more of the movie)

Sure it’s the standard alien invasion story. But so far the aliens do look bizarre, powerful and ruthless. So, as co-Tweep Sebastian Wupper mentioned, it might be finally a movie where humans wouldn’t win. I just hope he is right. If there is anything that could kill that movie it’s a Deus Ex Machina happy ending.

On a different note, the movie does remind me on my older post about the emerging realistic Sci-Fi genre. It seems like the Battlefield L.A. might be a new entry in this category. I’m eager to find out.

Finally, one of my favorite YouTube channels, TheFakingHoaxer recently announced he was working on special effects for an indie documentary about the event that kinda inspired the movie: The Battle of Los Angeles. In this case I’m hoping for a convincing re-creation but also skeptical research.
