Battle: LA is a new movie from Columbia pictures which take you into the fray with a squad of US Marines during an Alien invasion. This is not the classic Alien invasion move where there are 50ft tall robots shooting lasers from their eyes and decimating the city, no Battle: LA is much more than that. With the leading role given to Aaron Eckhart as Staff Sergeant Michael Nanz he pulls off the role flawlessly. When I saw this in the theater people were literally in awe at what this movie had given them. As it was not filmed like any other movie of this genre it was filmed as a war movie instead of a sci fi which means it will take you into the grittiness and struggle of what these Marines must go through.
The story is in my opinion a great one as it does not drag you along explaining some in depth story it is designed so you know exactly what the Marines know. It takes place in March 2011 when NASA spots a large amount of meteorites coming for earth which they believe will be one hell of a shower and as they seem to come closer they realize these meteors will make contact with earth near most major cities bordering the oceans which they turn out to be alien crafts which is where the invasion begins and then the fighting starts, after most coastal US cities fall LA is the final stand and while you tag along with the squad you will learn why they are there in the first place and how the Aliens themselves are brought down to a more "real" level... They are grunts fighting just like the soldiers who face them are.
I give this movie a 10/10 because of it's superb effect and it's memorable characters and experience. go watch this movie and I recommend watching it on the big screen where you can get the most out of what you pay for.
