This (Not So) Secret BATTLE: LOS ANGELES-Related Site Has Some Cool Stuff To Look At!!
Merrick here...
If you've been anticipating BATTLE: LOS ANGELES as much as I have, you might enjoy the following coolness gleaned by the folks over at JoBlo. Summarizing...
If you go to the film's official site (HERE), then make your way to the "Sightings Map"...
...enter the code "031111" into the "Priority Access" field at the bottom of the screen...
...you'll be taken to unidentifiedenemy.com - a vaguely interactive set of files and dossiers which reveal more information about the aliens who are kicking our ass (including some 360 views of tech). A little countdown on the site indicates that more information will be released in 18 days - this could be fun.

IT WAS COOL WHEN I HEARD IT THE FIRST HUNDRED TIMES, BUT NOW IT'S COMING OFF AS ANNOYING.

Is the Marine Corps MOS number for Infantry. That was rather clever on the websites creator to use it as the entry code since the movie follows around a Squad of Marine Infantry.

I miss the days when movies came out without a marketing campaign.

I hate having all this information before the film is even released.

There's a bit on that website after you've entered the code where you can see some images of the Aliens. If you click on the images and move your mouse around, it looks like the images are 3D. This idea was ripped off the loading screens for Killzone 2 the playstation game. Using displacement maps fixed to the camera or viewing angle. It was done much better on Killzone 2!

I think this will be just as big a piece of shit as Avatar. Nowhere near as big a pile of money will result but it will be just as much of a stupid re-tread as Avatar. You take 3D away from Avatar and you're looking at a 350-400 million dollar hit. Maybe 500 million tops. Make it stand on it's own merits as a movie and not a carnival ride and it's pretty damned ordinary.

The film itself is not the creepy, atmospheric film that the trailer makes it out to be.

It starts out well enough but quickly becomes the most blatant army recrutement video I've seen in years. I'll bet money that the US army poured some cash in this flick, it's so incredibly pro-army, so much that I'm sure marines will rub their cocks on the silver screen. But it's decent, horribly fucking cheesy in the middle but looks amazing. Sort of a mix between Black Hawk Down and District 9 in look and feel.

But can some one buy the website designers a map that shows that Suffolk, in reality isn't in fucking in Scotland? Yep, the Past Sightings part of the site - which leads to wiki links is shoddy as Hell

London is known for many things but sun kissed beaches areen't amongst them.

Does anyone write original shit anymore?? "OOOOHHHH FX!!! Can't wait!!!!" :o|
-
....oh wait, it is!

i love the way they've been done and even the use of the interesting music.

Join the Marines, fight aliens. Good point.
