Battle: Los Angeles is a gritty, action-packed alien invasion film that delivers intense battle sequences and introduces great characters even if the overall plot is paper thin. Directed by Jonathan Liebesman, the film follows a group of U.S. Marines, led by Staff Sergeant Michael Nantz (Aaron Eckhart), as they fight to reclaim Los Angeles from a ruthless extraterrestrial force. It’s US Marines vs Aliens in a knockdown drag out fight. One of the film’s strongest aspects is its realistic, documentary-style cinematography. The handheld camera work and chaotic action sequences create an immersive, boots-on-the-ground experience, making viewers feel as though they are embedded in the war zone. The film’s special effects are also commendable, particularly in depicting the alien invaders and their advanced weaponry. Think Black Hawk Down meets Independence Day. It’s an entertaining action film for a guys night.
