"Battle of Los Angeles": Old Ji Fuzheng, the Jedi Strikes Back

The story line of "Battle of Los Angeles" is very clear and simple. It revolves around a group of American soldiers performing a rescue mission to civilians in distress. During this period, they experienced life-and-death battles with aliens one after another. Under the leadership of the veteran, the Jedi counterattacked and successfully took out the alien's nest in Los Angeles. There are no superfluous side details, just dazzling graphics and deafening explosions. Unlike the blasting expert Michael Peishu, who gives people a hearty and refreshing feeling, every blasting accompanied by sacrifice in "Battle of Los Angeles" can only be described as tragic, and it is heart-wrenching.

If "Battle of Los Angeles" were a sequel to "District 9," then maybe we could understand the outrageous aggression of the prawns in the film, but it's not, so watch the prawns from start to finish When the bombardment kept going on there, I thought if I were one of those soldiers, until the day when the serfs turned over and sang, I would definitely abuse them like the humans in "District 9", so that they could not survive. I can't beg for death (even if you say I'm BT, I'll do that). Interestingly, after expert analysis in the film, this prawn comes for water, so does it mean that if one day we find liquid water on an alien planet and there happens to be a group of prawns living there, we will take the same means.

"Battle of Los Angeles" is a wonderful popcorn movie, but also a qualified American theme. It's just that the Yankees aimed at a group of aliens who were fighting hard, so it became a sci-fi film, and "The Hurt Locker" was aimed at Iraq, so it didn't make any illusions. In fact, "war is a drug." Prawns are addictive. There are personal heroism and tear-jerking perfunctory here. Of course, these are not the point. The point is to use science fiction to create selling points.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that the soundtrack of the film is still full of atmosphere, which perfectly matches the tense rhythm of the film and the apocalyptic atmosphere. The song The Sun's Gone Dim And The Sky's Turned Black in the trailer is even more impressive The audience gets into that kind of desperation, and all in all, I like the trailer more than the full movie.
