Is someone watching us? Are we alone in the universe?

The answer to these enigmatic questions is responded in Battle: Los Angeles.”

Get your gears ready and join the marines in an epic battle in Los Angeles, California. Defend the human race, extract civilian survivors before the Air Force blow the city, and defend the planet earth from a massive alien invasion looking for natural sources. This is not a videogame, maybe we will see one soon. This is a movie that brings hell and destruction to Los Angeles.
Battle: Los Angeles is directed by Jonathan Liebesman, Darkness Falls and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel, who brings this 2011 and action-packed sci-fi movie that carries: marines, biomechanical aliens, and unending shooting of adrenaline.  

Plot
The story follows Staff Sgt. Michael Nantz (Aaron Eckhart), who is close to retiring, and a platoon of marines who are very quickly involve in action. While global news reports give details of something unusual coming out of the space, leadership on the platoon is questioned when 2nd Lt. Martinez (Ramon Rodriguez) confront Staff Sgt. Michael about who gives the orders. That is erased soon when both are send for a extraction mission and aliens bullets do not distinguish military ranks. Surviving become a priority.  

 
Battle: Los Angeles jumps into high levels of action, too fast, that is hard to understand details of the movie.  The story is simple and probably not well developed to understand the main characters. Also, is not difficult to predict the ending of the story.  Perhaps as many movies of this kind, that involves aliens, we see the same formula over and over again: aliens attack, humans fight back.

Battle: Los Angeles is not a movie that will be nominated for any Oscar or Golden Globe.  This movie is more for killing sometime or just for having fun watching how aliens kick humans and then are kicked and wiped out by the marines. Is very recommendable to watch it in “D-BOX Motion Seats,” the experience is awesome.

See for yourself.
