Battle: Los Angeles - Jonathan Liebesman - 12A - 116min

 All the major cities of the world have fallen, "we cannot lose Los Angeles" says the voice-over. Oh peeeeerlease!!!! If ever aliens do one day invade and colonise the planet I'd like to think that the last place humanity will choose to make our last stand will be the bastion of world cultural heritage that is Los Angeles. This is all too familiar territory for the shoot-em-up X-Box generation at which this film is squarely aimed and consequently the plot, such as it is, is limited to set piece episodes as our group of weary cliche ridden caricature U.S.Marines battle their way to the next game-level of safety. This is Transformers meets Call of Duty - black ops, only the CGI isn't as good. You're average 12-year-old boy will love it however.
