The Santa Monica-specific alien invasion spectacle, starring Aaron Eckhart, hip hop star Ne-Yo, and Michelle Rodriguez, barely lives up to the L.A. part of its title, as the theater of war between staff sergeant Eckhart’s squad of scrappy Marines and towering alien warriors is obviously downtown Santa Monica and, for a few scenes at the police station on Butler, West Los Angeles.Having spent eight or so hrs. in the LAPD's West L.A. Division on Butler (As a prisoner, we suppose we should add. Not just hanging out.) we'd have no objection to seeing it cinematically crushed by aliens or a bulldozer, 'though probably not at the expense of 15 bones.

The food's probably better than it was in the West L.A. lock-up.
Jeebus!! so do the aliens have to worry themselves about squirrel abatement and carob tree pruning? What of the plastic bag ordinance, or the biodegradable take-out utensils ordinance?
These aliens will be in serious shit for violations! Horrors!
PS - I bet that Jerry Rubin (no not that Jerry Rubin
will kick those aliens' ass.
He certainly fights for the carob trees and the squirrels.
P.P. S.
As long as the aliens don't knock out Tacos Por Favor, I'm OK.

Good concept for a sci-fi flick: Aliens land, bogged down in regulations. Big Gov't. is good! See?
