Battle: New York, Day 2

Terrible. Ranks among the worse movies I've seen. In my opinion its lousy in respect to just about everything that has to do with a movie. It seems to me that it could be compared to a group of freshman college kids trying to make a movie from a horrible script with inferior equipment. E for effort though! Some of the acting is OK but some is not good at all. It wasn't filmed like Cloverfield or Blair Witch Project with all the bouncing around. What that means is one is not distracted from viewing what I think are all the undesirable elements of this film. So, because of this, attention is drawn to those undesirable aspects. All in all I stick with the E for effort; but, the reality is, in my opinion, it could have been a lot better. Background music and sound doesn't help either. Its not what I call good.

This is a different take on an invasion of earth. I would say say nothing revolutionary here. But I would say the way of preparing an invasion with nano technology instead of 10 mother ships and 1 million alien spacecrafts do seem more realistic.

If you want nice effects and fancy camera work then you should definitely look elsewhere. The acting is not what you will be dazzled by. But come on you do see just as bad acting sometimes in movies with actors that get a higher salary than what this movie production cost in total.

If BNY comes one day on the telly or a computer near you :-) when you have nothing better to do then you can try it if you like less action oriented survival movies with few special effects. It is not a movie I would pay a fortune for or I will watch again. But it was okay watching while relaxing a bit.

I don't get all the negative reviews. I'm watching it as I write my review and I'm enjoying this not-your-typical-zombie/alien-invasion film. The set-up for the story is unique, and the use of mentally ill patients as the protagonists is an interesting change of pace.

OK, the actors aren't A-listers, but they do a better job than I think a lot of reviewers are giving them credit for. It's tough to portray someone who's actively schizophrenic without becoming an over-the-top caricature, and these actors do a credible job. And the special effects are pretty decent given the limited budget they probably had to work with, and the SFX aren't the point of the story anyway.

Give it a chance and decide for yourself.

Great acting, visual storytelling, and effects. A true masterpeice of our generation. Some even say that inferior movies such as "The Godfather" or "The Shawshank Redemption" are 100x worse than this masterpeice, which I agree with them. This is truly a movie that you must watch before you die. Overall: 10/10.

How does this failing pile of utter rubbish get on a paid streaming service. I'd pay to not see this film.
