Battle: Los Angeles


Once again, the world is being invaded and the human species is facing the threat of being exterminated.
It begins when a swarm of meteors hits Earth at a variety of locations and lands in the sea just off twenty of the planets major cities.  But these meteors aren’t what they seem and it isn’t long before extra-terrestrial life starts emerging from the waters.  Their objective; to destroy all human life and take our planet.
With the world at war, Sgt Michael Nants (Aaron Eckhart) is given the responsibility of leading a troop of marines into the warzone that is Los Angeles with the mission of trying to save those that need saving.  A group of civilians are hiding at a police station and it is up to them to go into enemy held territory and rescue them before the Air Force strike the area.
A glance at the trailers would really tell you all you need to know about Battle: Los Angeles and give you an idea if it’s for you or not.  It doesn’t have any deep or any real storyline within it and the action isn’t as fast paced as you would have imagined but there is enough of it to enjoy and the movie offers great visual effects.  It reminded me at times of watching somebody play the video game ‘Call of Duty’ and it’s probably those game players who will like Battle: Los Angeles the most.
