Battle:Los Angeles

I thought it was ok, but turned out to be more of an alien version of Blackhawk Down. So the special effects were ok and the aliens' ship/command centre was reasonably impressive, but I did get bored after a while. But there are the obligatory - oh my god, it's the aliens, what are we going to do, why are they here, how are we going to stop them, ah we now have the solution! So very formulaic. Aaron Eckhart made a good leader. I am sure he will go on to play the President in a movie if he hasn't already!
