Battle of Los Angeles
Edward D. Wood Jr. is alive and well and working for the SYFY channel. Not since "Plan 9 From Outer Space" has there been serious contention for the worst film ever made, until now. It is obvious that they pulled out all the stops and went WAY over their $3,000 production budget, possibly by as much as 20%. Now I like a schlocky sci-fi flick as much as the next guy, as long as the idea is either original or entertaining. This film is neither. The plot is a direct rip off of several recent big budget films,there is no character development, the actors seem to have had around 20 minutes to read through their scripts, the sets are cheesy, with the majority of exterior shots filmed in either the abandoned enlisted housing complex of a decommissioned air force base, or a sand and gravel pit. The special effects look as if they were done on some kid's laptop while doodling during 7th grade study hall. But worst of all, it takes itself WAY TOO SERIOUSLY. The only thing missing is "Elvira" poking fun at it.
