Battle: Los Angeles (Liebesman, 2010)

The very moody and effective trailer (highlighted by a great use of a Johann Johannson track) had me thinking the movie ifself was bound to be average at best. And indeed it's formulaic and kind of stupid, but also very badass. This is where it helps to have low expectations. Great action, and for once the aliens weren't completely all-powerful like in every other alien movie.

**1/2
