Battle For Los Angeles

Saints perserve us.
Devils pickle us.

So here we are on a Saturday night and I am amazed at the Gall. There's a major motion picture coming out this weekend that also by happenstance has the words "Battle" and "Los Angeles" in it.

Amazing Coincidence.

So, how was it? Can't tell you. I started to watch it. Ok, you have a flying saucer from "Independence Day" decked out with an erector set. Boring people in planes try to stop it. Then comes some of the worst special effects ever. Seriously bad. I mean they might as well used flash animation. Oh and the ship kicked everyone's ass, and  a billion little ships come flying out in no way like Independence Day.

Cut to an Air Reserve base. Except it is not. I don't care what budget cuts there are or whether they are just reserves or not, but no base would look like that. It's clearly an abandoned facility being used by the film makers who didn't bother clear out the weeds and tumble weeds. It's embarrassing to watch. Oh and we meet more boring people, and they fight for no reason and they are being attacked by the aliens and their old CO is firing at the ships with his revolver because clearly the senile dementia has taken over and more MORE bad special effects of things going boom and then a WW2 plane comes flying in and...

Gah...
it isn't worth my brain cells and I need my TV too much for me to risk throwing the lap top through it. Syfy you've won this time...
