Battle: New York, Day 2 (2011)

Don't Believe the Hype

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I got this movie at a video rental closeout sale for $5...it was a waste of money. The framing is horrible, brutal acting, a very weak script and the audio...I don't even have an adjective to describe the audio. Most of the film has music that is way too loud, and dialogue that is way too quite, and sound effects that are downright distracting. I recommend if you are to watch this, have the remote close by to adjust audio, since the editor obviously doesn't know how to. The special effects are, well, special...very special. Blood effects look like they are taken from a discounted stock footage library, and those weird rolly ball things are very confusing, they add nothing to the movie and look like they took the longest to make. And the one explosion that I saw(I might have missed some, I fell asleep for about half an hour) wasn't bad, but it was followed with a stupid line. "Boo ya, b*tches" Now to talk about the extras, they are wearing street clothes, or no shirt at all, and run around like pathetic zombies. I thought this was an alien movie, now there's zombies. Also, pointless nudity throughout, probably just there to sell tickets. Don't fall for it, Google was invented for a reason.This movie is a general waste of time, and I would not recommend it to my worst enemy.

Complete rubbish. Unintelligible gibberish for dialog.Absolutely rotten acting. The lead actress has a very severe case of rising inflections.The directing is awful. Film quality is pre-1960 - everything is either green or brown.The 'special effects' are laughable. Blood stains from gunshots to someone's torso aren't on the torso but visibly inches in front. The blood splatters all have the same spray pattern. A five year old with PhotoShop could have done better.The highlight of the entire movie was a two second scene of a blank screen and complete silence.

This must be the cheapest and most terrible movie I've ever seen... When you see a title "Battle: New York, Day 2, you probably expect alien invasion movie, but this is a far away from it.. Yes there are aliens, reincarnated into some Plastic turning wheels that's being magnified so cheaply... The acting in this ""let's call a movie" is so terrible and unrealistic it makes me hit a wall with my head repeatedly.. Really, don't throw your money, or your bandwidth trying to download this peace of crap.... OMG, when I remember the sounds from this crap.. It's just unbelievable... If they had filmed the whole thing with a cellphone camera it would probably be better and with more quality... I can't waste any more words on this..

This is a truly terrible movie. The only reason I watched it was so that I could give a complete and honest review here and warn people not to waste their time.The sound is terrible as they leave a noise in the background throughout the entire movie. I assume this is a simulation of the noise that the aliens are suppose to be making. Of course, with this noise in the background it is near impossible to make out the script... but don't be troubled because the script that I heard was as bad as the movie stars acting in the film.The acting was about the only thing worse than the movie itself. There was really no story line, so, in the actors defense, this probably is the best they could ever do with a movie this bad. We are all safe though as I am almost positive that you will never see any of them in anything else worth watching.Alas, the fickle world of Hollywood.Unfortunately, this picture will probably sell tickets based upon its name, but it is nothing like Battle:Los Angeles and it is almost as bad as Battle for Los Angeles. With all the crap coming out of Hollywood these days, this movie is at the bottom of the pack.Watch it at your own risk because you HAVE been warned!
