Post #1"What exactly are we fighting, SSgt?"
-
-
Isn't that a ceph from crysis 2?
Anyway, i loved that movie. was really sad when the kids dad died though
-
Yes it is. Lack of models. And I was sad too.
-
...I've never noticed it before but....The Ceph look like a piece of crap in an armor...
Just like Mr. Hankey, the Christmas poo from South Park...eh..
-
it was an awful movie, way too much "go america!!!!" and "omg marine sadness you're best marine ever, son!!"
-
:colbert: You clearly didn't understand the movie at all.
-
what's there to understand, anyway? it was mindless, pro-america bullshit.
-
Alyx looks out of place in the pose.
-
If you are in a country's military what are you fighting for?
-
In a Marine's perspective, it was such a moto boner. Haha. So many Marine inside jokes. And I still don't understand the "pro-america bullshit" you're referring to.
-
the movie was still filled with clichés and awkward acting, aside from the whole america bullshit part.
-
Still straying from my question.
If they were in the USMC what would they fight for; just because?
A family to go back to might be a motive.
Edited:
But that barely changes anything.
-
Again, which "america" thing are you talking about? The whole movie was about Los Angeles, which, yes.. is a city in the US, but there was nothing political about the movie. Also, a lot of the "cliches" about the military you're referring to happen to be quite true.
-
I saw absolutely no pro-America BS in it at all. I saw a lot of pro-Marines stuff but not US.
-
The movie sucks, but not because it's pro-(smth).
The aliens looked like as they were desined to be easily kicked by the humans.
I liked the first 25-30 minutes, but then those marine guys were simply killing the aliens like kitties.This was just silly.
-
Yeah. I liked it just because I got see almost non-stop explosions and shit for a couple of hours. Everything else was just tolerable.
-
what are you talking about?
it was riddled with awkward moments filled with "omg we are dying no one can help us!! but then suddenly omg ONLY WEAKNESS AMERICA CAN CONQUER FUCK YEAH"
Edited:
of couse they're fighting for america, i just expected something else for a change.
-
If we had some decent models of the aliens, then those could've been used.
-

You're dumb.
-
Wow. This is a strong argument
-
How can you? Ever since the writers strike, Hollywood has found out that you don't need original writing or new stories to make money. Just cryptic trailers, explosions and Michelle Rodriguez.
-
Anyway, we're not turning this thread into a political debate. Just edit the picture or comment on how crappy or good the posing is.
-
-
To be honest While Battle: LA wasn't a deep flick by any means it was still a pretty great popcorn and turn of mind movie.
Would have maybe just been better to use FEAR Stokes as opposed to Alyx's head in the picture. Or slightly edit the colour tone. The head just looks far too big and colour off place.
-
Thanks.
-
The car dosen't look good in the picture, And in the picture the US Marines have futuristic weapon and Alyx has a SCAR.
-
ok bitches
battle:la was DESIGNED not to have a real plot
it was DESIGNED to be a moto-boner for the marines
it WAS designed to be USA USA USA
it was DESIGNED
to give me
an erection
at night.
-
It was explosions everywhere and a good occasion for me to sit down and unplug my neural system. Fair enough to me.
-
Stop teasing goddammit
-
funny, I don't remember that scene in the movie at all..., calm down it's just a movie, but at the same time I'm not sure what you expected going to see a movie that was made by the US Marines...
I will agree with you though, that it would be cool to see a movie that showed an international fight against an alien invasion, but at the same time that would be a lot to compress into a 2 hours, it would have to be like a TV series or something.
anyway, enough of that
Looks good, now you've got to do one of the Ssgt stabbing the damn thing for 20 minutes while everyone else just kinda stares awkwardly
Absolutely loved the movie though, cool pose it's a shame the tie in game was so horrible would've been nice to have some models form the movie, only issue I see is their weapons, I would've just given everyone modern weapons, but that's probably because I hate that crysis 2 rifle, and the angle is a little uninteresting, but it's a solid pose, so I like it.
-
Now we need one of them randomly stabbing it while screaming "WHY THE FUCK WON'T IT DIE?!"
That was my favorite part (and the funniest part) of the movie
-
Uh wait - Battle: LA was made by marines? Seriously? From what I know it had marines (and some other soldiers) present but it wasn't made by any of them.
-
Yeah there's actually a Marine Corps Motion Picture and Television Liaison Office,
The helicopters and vehicles where provided by the marines, the background extras where actual marines, and they provided training and insight to the main cast, they put alot of money and effort into the movie, I think it paid off, but the script was just kinda weak in a lot of places, it was good enough for me, but there was so much potential for it to be better than it was.
They're also working along with the air force on the new transformers movie, transformers and battle LA had alot of cooperation with the DoD to get the military portrayed in them as accurate as possible.
-
I noticed that myself. Revenge of the Fallen had a huge section of its ending credits that listed off different units and such that took part in the movie.
-
Yeah. There was so many Marine inside jokes. And just the way that everything happened was so realistic as to how the Marines would have taken care of a situation like that. For example, the way they got briefed on the situation. In other movies, they probably would have been in some kind of situation room with like ultra uber technology and some crazy smart scientists. But in Battle LA, they were all crammed into some tiny ass room and briefed with some power point presentation, which is exactly what would have happened. The beach in the beginning is on Camp San Onofre, which is where I trained for MCT, and the freeway is the I-5, which is what I drive on every day. Just to let you all know, I AM from LA, so that movie hit a lot of close places to me. IT GAVE ME SUCH A MOTO BONER.
-
yeah my marine buddy was all kinds of semper fi after we went and saw it, I thought he was gonna go put all his gear on and run around the neighborhood shooting at garbage cans haha, I was disappointed the only army guys that showed up where basically NPCs for ammo collection haha.
-
somethings wrong when a female airmen last longer than a couple army soldiers
Edited:
airwoman???
-
I admit I didn't see any direct inside jokes in the movie. As to using army material (marine, airforce whatever it's all an army to me :P) I was under the impression that most movie companies do it because it's massively cheaper for them than actually having the stuff themselves.
Plus I've never seen Battle: LA marketed as army propaganda - not in like America's army for instance.

Independence day.

Which still really only showed the US part of the fight :P
