In a delightful bit of all-too-perfect shooting-aliens-in-stuff convergence, Sony Computer Entertainment and Columbia Pictures--a Sony subsidiary itself--have joined forces to give you a reason to maybe think about buying Battle: Los Angeles when it comes out on Blu-ray on June 14th.
The one sticky wicket with all of this, of course, is that it involves buying Battle: Los Angeles, the March-released action film starring Aaron Eckhart that most have described as not unlike watching someone else play a video game in which you shoot aliens.
Not that critics are to be trusted for anything, ever, but the movie currently sits at a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 34%. For what it's worth, Whiskey's own Matt Rorie said of the film, "...you’ll sit, you’ll watch, you’ll be on your way in a couple of hours, no worse for wear," and then he gave it three puppies.
Regardless, if you're a die-hard Resistance fan, this might be a worthwhile reason to drop a few bucks on the Blu-ray. 30 minutes of exhilarating Chimera killing ought to make up for the 114 minutes of your precious, unrecoverable life you dedicate to watching the movie, right? Right...?
