Los Angeles and other cities around the world are being bombarded by meteors that seem to be slowing down once they hit the earth's atmosphere. The earth is suddenly being invaded by space aliens that have landed off the shore of LA, and who begin killing everybody along the beach. The military is ordered into action. Marine Staff Sergeant Nantz (Aaron Eckhart), who was about to retire, is reassigned to a new platoon. The platoon, flown by chopper to the forward operating base at Santa Monica Airport, is being led by a new 2nd Lt. Martinez (Ramon Rodriguez). They are sent on a mission to rescue some civilians who are trapped at the police station within alien territory. They only have 3 hours to complete their mission and get out before the Air Force bombs that zone.
Leave your thoughts about Battle: Los Angeles.
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelStanley A. Miller IIIt's a gritty, tension-filled story of soldiers fighting their way through extraordinary circumstances. The characters feel like real people. Their struggles seem genuine. And Los Angeles is going up in flames. |
| MovieJuice!Mark Ramsey'Don't fire until you see the whites of Anderson Cooper's hair!' |
| IGN MoviesJim VejvodaSee Battle: Los Angeles for the fun and eye candy, but know that you're in for a slew of stock characters and situations. |
| NY1-TVNeil RosenVisually bland, unconvincing CGI, an inane script, wooden, one note, cartoonish characters and too much boom, boom, boom; bang, bang, bang. |
| Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewMichael A. Smith...the bigger, badder brother to "Independence Day." |
| BlackFilm.comWilson Morales'Battle: Los Angeles' is nothing more than another fast paced, clichéd action/ sci-fi film but visually splendid and enjoyable. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersGosh darn it all if Battle: Los Angeles is hugely entertaining all on its own right thoughts about plagiarism or no. |
| CinemaDopeGlenn Lovell... lock-and-load sci-fi - "Full Metal Jacket" meets "War of the Worlds. |
| CinesnarkSarah MarrsI didn't think it was possible to make SFX sequences more baffling and headache inducing than Transformers 2, but Battle: LA found a way. |
| MSN.comSean Axmaker... this humorless film as unimaginative -- and as exhausting -- as you can get. |
