Edward Bernds had hit a home run a few years earlier with World Without End. I don't know what happened here but this barely rates good enough for a drive-in theater. Costumes, gear and some special effects were recycled from the movie Forbidden Planet and World Without End.
The dialogue is awful but has a campy feel.

Take Independence Day and E.T, put then into a blender with two week old garbage and you get the SyFy production Battle of Los Angeles. The acting is over the top with the base commander character as a 1030's mafia thug as some of the worse character acting I've seen in years.
The special effects are marginal at best. The title of the movie and release is certainly to attract a viewer audience that might mistake this for the Battle:Los Angeles film release to theaters on 3/11/2011.
This movie ranks as a new low for the SyFy channel even considering some of the awful movies released bu SyFy the past six months. I recommend it for film students who want to see how not to make a movie. For anyone else give it wide berth or watch it with an air freshener.
