Was on TNT and it's become one of those movies I need to watch till the end if I find it on.
No, it's not a cinematic masterpiece ala Godfather. No, it's not a detail perfect documentary about war fighting. No, it's not a groundbreaking new piece of film. But it's a damn good 2 hour escape and action/adventure flick. It's escapism at it's finest. 
Stand by for a pretty impressive transition to secondary by Ssgt. Nantz in the final push to drive the aliens back. The only real downside to the movie is that every time I watch it. EVERY.DAMN.TIME I am reminded I need more ACOGs.

I love that movie. Good silly fun, with the same guys who would save you in real life from an alien invasion as heroes.

I love that movie, yeah it's not deep or artistic...but it's fucking awesome!
That was the very first Blu Ray I watched with my new surround sound setup, and I turned up to 11. It was epic.  ETA: The 2nd one I watched with the new setup was Dredd, the epicosity continued.  |

Several of those are war flicks and many are Fantasy, which falls broadly into the 'Alien' category. But I get that you don't necessarily agree with me, which is fine.

Battle LA is one of my favorite movies. However, I'm a bit disturbed that many of you apparently developed a lust for ACOG after watching it. Sick!

Good movie, but pretty typical for what it is. At the beginning of the movie it takes 200 rounds bring down and kill one alien in a Jacuzzi. By the end of the movie they are getting virtually one shot kills, and then the Sgt. starts drops one of them them with a 9mm? That can't even stop a crack-head but it devastates alien armor...
Fun flick to watch though
