I'm going against the norm here as I liked Skyline
aliens that like to eat our brains and use them to control thier cyborg machines
ships and machines that regenerate
main actors that get killed in the movie
humans don't really win
love conquers all
leave your brains at home stuff

Okay enough people have voted now for it to be a reliable indicator.....
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1758570/
Yeah, I'm not gonna bother.
Maybe when it's out for $1 weekly.... and I can't find anything else to watch.

Alas, didnt like this movie much - a bunch of marines running around shooting, shooting, running and shooting, yawn ...... jerky handheld camera,eek. Quite disappointing as had been really looking forward to it.

If you liked that movie, you should read the book it was based on, "Starship Troopers" by Robert A Heinlen.
Not a lot like the movie, but thought provoking. Only Citizen's can vote, hold public office or be a police officer. You can only be considered a Citizen if you have served in the armed forces. The reasoning is that unless you have been prepared to put your life on the line for your country and your people, how can you even hope to serve in any public capacity?
Hmmm!!

I did watch Battle: LA, I generally watch most science fiction movies, to have an opinion. I must say the plot was very shallow and apart from the endless action scenes, not much happenend, not much developing of the story. But as a big action popcorn movie, I enjoyed it.
I do not expect to see a profound mind blowing movie that forces me to think about deep concepts everytime I go to the movies, sometimes, a good visually interesting entretainment is very good to clear the mind, there is enough drama in real life.
Generally a pay attention to critics opinions, but usually they favour arthouse sometimes boring british movies, which I am not very in love with, so, they really don't influence me when I decide to watch a particular movie, critics generally don't rate well big productions, except por rare cases such as Inception last year.

He's deranged. Don't listen to him!  
SSTs is brilliant. A true icon of S-F filmaking. 
I loved it. I can just turn my brain off and enjoy!
Skyline? I liked 'Turk' and it must be said the whole undefeatable enemy thing was really quite creepy - I mean what WOULD you do against an enemy that was bent on whiping you out and even nukes didn't work against them?
Also the whole business of them poking their sneeky, commie-alien probes into my condo....Brrrrrr!
Give it another watch.
My combat experience is in the Navy where things happen at a gentleman's pace - until they don't - so I'm getting a little bored of all the fast cutaway stuff where "Sarge" rallies his boys amidst a fire-fight.
Having had an entire ship shot out from under my ***, I can tell you there's ****-all time for any rallying!

Yes, but it's not my fault - I watched a couple of really bad movies some years ago without medication - 'Twister' and 'Hard Rain' - I walked out on both of them before total neural shutdown occurred  .

Verdict...not bad, with enough to keep me interested.
