Review of Battle: Los Angeles (2011) by Goblin6 — 11 Mar 2011

Good solid science fiction-action movie. This movie is well worth the ticket price to see on the big screen. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Eckhart lead this group of Marines, Soldiers and an Airman while they attempted to rescue civilians and battle the alien menace.

The few bits of sappy drama only slows the pace of this entertaining piece of fiction once or twice and the acting is tolerable or good enough to survive it. News flashes give just enough information to see the global scale of the invasion and give a little idea of why the aliens would want to invade this polluted little planet.

Strong military overtones make sense given the story and the current times. It is obvious that a good deal of effort was put into making the military as realistic as possible even when battling aliens across Los Angeles.
