Battle: Los Angeles [Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack] (Exclusive Steelbook Packaging) - Arron Eckhart (Blu-ray - 2011)

I like this movie

Been looking for this on Blu-Ray. Glad I found it here on Amazon, fantastic price!

Marines get the job done! Great casting and glad they all went through a boot camp to be Marines!

An on the ground "grunt" war that is right in your face and with non stop action! The fighting scenes in the city was very realistic. I remember during Tet the Marines and my unit, 1st Squadron 9th Cav., 1st Air Cav Div. having to go into the formerImperial Capitol of Vietnam, Hue. The fighting was street to street, house to house with snipers every where. Thank God for grenade launchers because they were pinpoint accurate, and caused some serious "hurt" as was shown in the movie. But hand grenades were minimal in the movie, and claymores were non-existent. One of the things we encountered were lots of dead bodies every where and dead animals. You would think there would be a lot of dead bodies in the movie, but I only remember two-and where where all of the pets, dead or alive? And with the F-16 Falcons and F-18 Hornets constantly flying overhead, no bombs, missiles or mini-guns and no areas littered with dead aliens. They really had it spot on about esprit de corps and camaraderie. You will never be closer to anyone than people that have stood next to you in battle and faced death. And yes people die and you feel an anger and just want to lash out and blame someone, which was perfectly portrayed in the movie. But you have to put your anger aside and work together as a team, or maybe no one makes it out alive. Wearing that uniform puts you under a set of rules that will get you killed. The action really picked up when they met the aliens with a crew-served weapon [made me think of the Germans and the 20mm in "Saving Pvt Ryan.]They finally reached a point where they could not defeat the aliens because of a superior weapon. In a very flamboyant move, the lieutenant, who is wounded stays with the bus, their former transit, and detonates a bag full of C-4 destroying all of the aliens and their weapon, and dying in the process. [I guess they left their spool of wire for remotely detonating the explosives back at the base?] From here on the drama which seems to let down with an air extraction suddenly increases when they spot an area that is dead black and they drop back to ground to run a recon to see if this could be the alien command and control center the USAF specialist with them is hoping to find, and take out because its the aliens that has had air superiority and no military aircraft of the planet could take to the the air to take the battle, to them! Well, they find the prize underground, but are discovered too, and head back up to street level. Once there they find some kind of super structure which they destroy. Just when you think that's it, game over, the ground rumbles and the entire alien command center surfaces to leave. They call in a fire mission for ground to air missiles that will home in on a laser spot which they will "paint" on the target, but the aliens use a drone to get in the way and the missile hits it. However on the subsequent shot they take out the drone with an AT-4 shoulder launched missile, and the missile they called in takes down the alien craft. This even causes the aliens on the ground to retreat with the Marines advancing.Naturally they get back and are commended-and go right back out with the other troops to fight after rearming.My criticisms are just nit picking. Its a thoroughly enjoyable movie with non stop action, and you wonder how anybody could have lived through it. I rate it 3 bags of microwave popcorn-my highest rating!

(Spoiler alert) I didn't think I was going to like this movie, but I did. It's not really a super high budget movie or anything, but what they have to work with, they work with well. The movie centers around a group of Marines that are called upon to face a horrific alien invasion. No funny jokes, no moronic scenes, just pretty much action. The aliens and their technology are absolutely terrifying which really helps this movie in many ways. A lot of it a shot by handheld camera which actually works because there are so few scenes were something awful is not happening. In some movies handheld camera seens do not work. In this one it does. It conveys the sense of panic and fear that comes across these brave Marines as they fight a clearly superior force. It is actually their willingness to die for the cause of freedom that prevails in this movie. The aliens are clearly here to colonize the planet and kill everybody on it. They never go into where they come from as we do not know. There is no communication between the aliens and the humans, only battle scenes and death. So I had to give this movie five stars. If you are going to make a B-movie about an alien invasion, the right thing to do is to spend most of the money on the special-effects which is what they did. You actually never see anything but what the Marines see. That actually works as well because you feel trapped just like they are as the attempt to save what is left of Los Angeles. The aliens are frightening looking and monstrous. The different kinds of spacecraft that they have and also terrestrial craft that are meant for the invasion make many alien invasion movie spaceships look like Honda Accords, and what I mean by that is that the aliens different kinds of craft look really really frightening and totally alien in every way. So I say sit back and enjoy the ride because this movie is much better than it looks. I had to watch it over a two days Because I started watching it late at night and I live in an apartment building, and it is very loud because it's all battle scenes. But I did not want to turn it off. I wanted to see how it turned out. That is the sign of a good movie. When you don't want to turn the movie off until you finish watching it and see how things turn out. There are some familiar faces in this movie as well, meaning some celebrity stars. It was just very believable. Monstrous aliens with horrific technology that looks as scary as it is. So scary that it would stop the Marines often because they could not even look at some of the flying machines that the aliens had they were so frightening looking. So if you like alien invasion movies I certainly recommend this one. You will not be disappointed. I was not.
