I love this movie so much

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Yes, this is a terrible example of the craft but I don't always judge movies on the same curve. Yes, i rented it by accident and later saw "Battle Los Angeles". Neither here nor there. I will remember this one always. Face it, "Battle Los Angeles" was no landmark either. But this one actually made me laugh out loud. From the dramatic reveal of the questionably impressive heroine, to the soldiers holding hands as they ran from an alien attack, this movie was a hoot. I've seen a lot of bad movies but seldom gotten any real belly laughs at their expense. Sure, it's a total waste of time, but I could say that about probably eighty percent of the movies I watch and on the scale of stinkers, this one ranks near the top. My uncomfortable snickers of embarrassment for the cast and "writer" still count as laughs. One of my criterion for rating movies is if they show me something I've never seen before, this one showed me several, mostly bad, but all laughable.

Wow. BOLA is bad...incredibly bad. Jaw-droppingly bad. I think the movie is intended to be campy. I hope it was intended to be campy. If not, everyone involved with it should re-examine his or her career expectations.The special effects look like they were done on an Amiga, which means they would have been very impressive 30 years or so ago. The production seems to have expended at least half of its meager SFX budget at a fireworks stand.The plot is incomprehensible, the dialog amateurish. At one point in BOLA, the "good guys" are driving around in some hulk of a military vehicle in a supposedly EMP-ravaged world. (I think EMP is the problem; I may have missed something during one of the times my eyes glazed over.) Anyway, one of the characters asks Nia Peeples, "How is this thing even running." Peeples looks back over a shoulder and states simply, "Vacuum tubes." At some point in the movie, Peeples acquires an eye patch but carries on as if she hadn't just traumatically lost what is physiologically a component of her brain. She may have lost another part of her mind as demonstrated by doing this movie. I guess work is work, but this work is in sharp contrast to her short-lived salad days on Fox. That's a shame; she's someone that you want to see do well.There were a couple of alien hovercrafts whose SFX presence wasn't utterly horrible, but they appeared dated. They definitely weren't 21st century level.Don't confuse this movie with "Battle Los Angeles" which came out at nearly the same time. That one was bad; this one is OMG horrible. The producers probably managed to pick up a few sales from mistaken identity. Shame on them. This movie's only hope is to become a cult classic for stoners and other impaired people.I'm pretty sure that there are no spoilers here. Doesn't a movie have to have a plot to have a spoiler? I watched this last night and can't remember now how it ended. Time is sometimes merciful.

This so called "movie" is a total piece of ship! DO NOT PAY TO SEE THIS FILM! IT'S DISGUSTING!Never before have I fallen asleep at a cinema, but today, I did. My brain thought it was a waste of energy to watch this, so it shut itself off. After a few god-awful gunshots, and me finishing my popcorn, I fell asleep. To be sure I didn't miss out on anything, I pirated the movie to see it again, and guess what!:I FELL ASLEEP AGAIN! (No, I do not have a sleeping problem)I boiled a cup of espresso, so I could watch it over again. When I finished, I had a conclusion: GOD AWFUL SI-FI RIPOFF!If the scale was from 1 - 1000, It'd still be on 1!IT SUCKS!

The only enjoyable thing about the last two hours of my life has been the infrequent - that should tell you something - ad breaks and reading through the reviews of the film that already exist. Quite why I continued watching after the first five minutes is a complete mystery to me, but I did. I have just signed up to IMDb for the sole purpose of warning people not to do the same. Obviously, this was a high-budget film. The guns - painted Nerf guns - looked like Doctor Who rejects, the special effects appear to be scanned images of a toddler's drawing. The acting, scenery, script, costumes and directing also leave plenty of room for questioning. If I had spent money on this film, I would be on my knees begging for a refund. One particular scene, in which the characters eat burgers, appears to have been filmed during the lunch-break. While I've never been to LA, I'm pretty sure there aren't miles of desolate buildings in the middle of a desert. If I had to nominate a list of the worst films I have ever made the mistake of watching, this would be at the top. I'm pretty certain that the alien costume was a black bag wrapped around the head of an unwilling crew member. I will never get the last two hours of my life back. I'm urging people to make the right choice and not watch this film.
