OK let me admit I am often mildly entertained in that this movie is so bad kinda way when I watch the Syfy Satruday Movie Spectacular. Because they are such spectacularly badly made films and on the off occasion there is a good sometimes even great film hiding there,well not this time. I want my 45 minutes back thats how far I got before I just couldn't take it anymore a first for me. Normally I sit through the terrible movies while playing on my laptop. I couldn't do it and in fact had to go see the real Battle Los Angeles today due to feeling so grimy from the previous night. The story if you can call it that is a fusion of Skyline and Battle L.A. and several other films the acting is worse the horrible with a script so poorly written I can't believe anyone green lighted it. CGI is so bad yet had scope it just didn't have detail or quality had this movie been released ten years ago u might have thought how cool was that but now its like wth I seen better CGI in commercials, even some films from ten years ago look better than this omg its just that bad avoid at all costs.
Making a good quality sci-fi movie is not an easy work. There are some movie that we can call a not so good movie or even a bad and awful movie. But talking about Battle of Los Angeles, believe me, this is not a movie, this is totally torture. If you want to know how to waste your time in the worst way, then it's for you.
It is obvious that the movie want to ride the hype of Battle: Los Angeles. Even so, please make something that at least worth to watch. Do not expect anything from the story, The title should be "Independence day vs Alien vs Ninja". The technology used in this movie reminds me of Japanese TV series Ultraman circa 60s Sigh..I wonder what were they thinking making this movie. I don't really care about the character in this so-called movie except the ninja/samurai girl (and it's because of the outfit? maybe..)
Movie should be entertaining and giving you impression to remember. Whether it's fun, scared, blue or anything but angry to your self for wasting your time. This is what you will get by watching this.

It is a tragedy that there is people filming these crap and worst of all, some people pay money to buy or rent bullshit like that... Horrible... parody... bad effects... something like actors but definitely NOT ACTORS tricky title to fool the fools... unbelievable bad scenario... there was not ONE minute of at least BAD filming... all of it was JUST GARBAGE... take this for granted. it may be the worst film you ve ever watched, and that only IF you manage to watch this all... i just FF it to see if the end could be such a crap as the whole film. And surprise!!! it was worst!!! for god's shake do not try to watch it, it is mind-mixer and make you feel sick
Cheap CG and blue screen battles aliens.
Made for TV.
Derivative. It's got pods and the queen from Alien, worms from Dune (or maybe it's a sarlacc from Star Wars), and acting from the original Star Trek.
Obviously trying to ride on the back of a major motion picture with nearly identical title.
Not really anything positive about it, unless you're bored with no other sci-fi to watch.
Where are the MST2K bots when you need them?
Right up there with Plan 9 From Outer Space, but not as entertaining.

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.

- TriviaThe movie is part of the notorious german "SchleFaZ" series. Thus, it was aired June 2015 on german TV station Tele5. ("SchleFaZ" is a german abbreviation, means "the worst films ever". In that series 2 hosts present the whole flick - and make fun of it throughout the movie.)
- GoofsDuring the 1st attack on the National Guard unit the 2 men firing their weapons on full automatic are obviously firing replicas as no empty shell casing are being ejected.
