So, I've just seen "Battle of Los Angeles" available in my local supermarket for £7.99! Of course it's not "Battle: Los Angeles", and I don't think many people will fall for it, but the "of" on the cover of the Mockbuster is so small, it almost looks as if the title actually is "Battle: Los Angeles"!
Of course, this is just the latest in the long line of Mockbusters from Asylum Films, following on from such classics as "Snakes on a Train", "Tranmorphers", "The Day the Earth Stopped" and "Paranormal Entity". They also have "Almighty Thor" due out this summer, roughly around the same time as the Marvle Movie "Thor".
Anybody watched any of these films? Anybody willing to admit that they've enjoyed them? I haven't seen "Battle of Los Angeles" so I couldn't possibly comment on whether it's the worst film ever made, but I think that could be a safe bet. The ones that I have seen (out of curiosity and because they were on TV (i'd never even consider paying for one of their movies)) have been terrible. Terrible acting, terrible direction and, worst of all, awful, awful CGI. Personally, these are some of the wost movies I've ever seen, regardless of their orgins as rip-offs.
Anybody else think that these movies are just shameful, or do people actually appreciate their lack of ethics, to just make a cheap movie and put it out in an attempt to make money from the name of other movies?
Bit of rant, sorry. They annoy me. Right. Off to work on my script for "Triassic Park".
