Review of Battle Los Angeles

This entire movie appears to be shot with a hand-held camera... The constant very shaky close ups were annoying to say the least. We paid $36 for three of us to watch this in the theatre, and I wish we had gotten our money back. The movie starts off very slowly. For about the first 20 minutes it is boring boring boring... oh, and constantly shaking... so much jittery shaking of the camera that I felt like I was getting motion sickness. I kept having to look away from the screen to avoid getting dizzy. If you don't like this kind of filming, don't see it on the big screen. The story did get interesting from about half way through till the end, and the shaking wasn't as offensive when the shots were of things in the distance... But for the most part, we hated the way this film was shot. I would not see it a again, not even on Netflix. My recommendation is wait for DVD/blue ray. The shaking may not appear as severely on a smaller screen.
