Battle: Los Angeles (2011)
Just went to war with aliens in #BattleLosAngeles (2011)! Aaron Eckhart leads a platoon of Marines fighting a desperate last stand against a full-scale alien invasion of Los Angeles. The film is a gritty, action-packed spectacle with impressive visuals of alien war machines blasting through the city.
Think Independence Day meets Black Hawk Down. The battle sequences are intense and thrilling, with the Marines using guerilla tactics against a superior enemy. Eckhart delivers a gruff but determined performance as the battle-hardened sergeant.
However, the plot is pretty thin, with underdeveloped characters and motivations. The focus is purely on the action, with minimal world-building or explanation for the alien invasion.
Overall, Battle: Los Angeles is a fun popcorn flick for fans of sci-fi action. Don’t expect a deep story, but enjoy the explosions, epic battles, and a reminder of the fighting spirit of the Marines.
