East Coast Reserve Phrogs...

REPRESENT!

That's the only thing close to a trailer that's been released so far, for "Battle: Los Angeles". I can already tell there's a little CGI magic going on - we only brought 3 helicopters...

I also know that I'm not in that clip, because I didn't have a copilot - so I was standing on the sidelines watching the flying, but the ground-turning scenes (and the scene where I was concerned watching a news report on TV in the hangar), I should be in... Might not suck as bad as I thought it would.

Two new trailers. Looks amazing.

Pretty cool-looking.

Good cast, interesting director, and the trailer looked pretty decent. Potential is there, though alien invasion movies are always on the knife edge of suckage.

An Independence Day for the next generation...though with all those Phrogs, it's a bit of a retro future!

Thank you. Now I know what these freeway signs in the Los Angeles area are for.

So will there ever be a zombie apocalypse movie featuring Phrogs in heroic roles? Folks would pay to see that...

(And more importantly, would the zombies be flying V-22s? )

The Walking Dead has a Huey. Close enough? Awesome show btw.

I seem to recall HMM-268 had a bit to do with it too....

As in, we were required to wear HMM-268 patches and that the special effects guy told us they were going to CGI out HMM-774 and CGI in HMM-268??

Ya, something like that. I guess Dragons look more aggressive than Geese.

Saw this movie tonight. It is a fun movie. Even the wifey likes it. Pretty sure I saw a Phrog with HMM-774 on the side of it during the Santa Monica FOB scene. But it was a quick pass.

Funny, though, Hueys were the stars of the air side. Never knew one could carry 11 pax!

There were quite a few "Wait, that's not quite right" moments. That was definitely at the top of the list. My wife hits me every time I mention stuff like that to her. So I've learned to keep my mouth shut.
