Battle: Los Angeles - a quick review

I saw "Battle: Los Angeles" last Friday. I have only three things to say about it:

1. Great Marine recruiting tool (I would love to see what kind of a bump in Marine recruits that will occur in the next couple of weeks). Hoorah!

2. I HATE extreme closeups and the "shaky camera" technique throughout a movie. Is that supposed to be some kind of auteur film experience? For me, this definitely gets in the way of my film enjoyment. Bleh!

3. Too much haziness (i.e., smoke-filled scenes).

What with the unending "shake-and-haze," I felt I was being subjected to artsy-fartsy film making rather than a straightforward, fun SciFi movie.
