„“Battle: Los Angeles“ is noisy, violent, ugly and stupid. Its manufacture is a reflection of appalling cynicism on the part of its makers, who don’t even try to make it more than senseless chaos. Here’s a science-fiction film that’s an insult to the words „science“ and „fiction,“ and the hyphen in between them. You want to cut it up to clean under your fingernails.

When I think of the elegant construction of something like „Gunfight at the OK Corral,“ I want to rend the hair from my head and weep bitter tears of despair. Generations of filmmakers devoted their lives to perfecting techniques that a director like Jonathan Liebesman is either ignorant of, or indifferent to. Yet he is given millions of dollars to produce this assault on the attention span of a generation.

Young men: If you attend this crap with friends who admire it, tactfully inform them they are idiots. Young women: If your date likes this movie, tell him you’ve been thinking it over, and you think you should consider spending some time apart.“

(Roger Ebert in der Chicago Sun Times über den Science-Fiction-Film Battle: Los Angeles)
