Battalion - Schlachtfeld Erde

To start with there is no 'Battalion' it's just a few people milling around aimlessly. The uniforms look as if they were purchased from a Poundland store and nobody looks the slightest bit military. If these people are the best we have in an alien invasion then we deserve to be wiped out.

Special effects were pretty poor acting was worse ....far worse . Possibly just people who were passing during filming and were given a part.

Script was non existent and I may have missed something important as I did use the FF button a bit.

The jumping back and forth was done better in 'Alienate' and that movie was utter bilge as well. The final scene was laughable.

If this movie cost more than a tenner to make then they wasted their money.

After hearing pretty much mostly negative things about this flick, I wanted to watch it to see if it was that bad. Sure enough, it was. First off, let's start off with the quality. The quality of the movie looks like it was shot on an iPhone, and looks like a high school student movie. Second off, the CGI looks like a PS2 game of some sorts. Third off, the acting is porn quality. And the last thing, did they REALLY need to back away from the camera in the scene when that guy kisses his wife? I think a 10 year old did this. I also felt the point to shut it off. And I did, because it's THAT bad. Seriously, if you want a good war flick, just watch the classic Full Metal Jacket, or Saving Private Ryan.

Poor effects - which is ok for such a low budget. Poor sets and costumes - for which a poor budget is no excuse. Poor acting. Poor American accents, I mean I think i could do a better Australian accent than these Australians do American accents.

Things didn't exactly make a lot of sense either: Why fly an airliner at the aliens? Did anyone making, acting in or characters in the movie ever see anything military-related? The odds are against it. And what "battalion"?

I gave it an extra star for effort to tell an original story and for not preaching to me. Otherwise not good at all.

I liked the premise of this film, OK, it's a mish-mash of other science fiction films, but that's no bad thing if done well.

Unfortunately this is not done well.

The dialogue is poor, delivery is worse.

Effects are poor by today's standards.

Acting is one of the better aspects of this film, seriously. However the bar is low.

The story is very confused and the telling, using drawn out boring flashbacks is confusing.

The music reminds me of waiting in an elevator.

Have to admit, about have way through I started to hit the fast forward button. It did not lessen my understanding of the story, nor detract from any sense of drama. I'm pretty certain I didn't miss anything.

I gave it two for effort, while technically failing and wasting an evening, the film has vision, and a crew willing to give it a go.

Should have check out the reviews here before getting this con job. It's something a Kid made in grade school
