Review for Battle: Los Angeles 2.5 stars out of 5
Battle:
Los Angeles was a film about a Marine who was just about to end his career with retirement when a frantic call comes in and he is shipped off to duty. He and his platoon, and with the help of a few surviving citizens, take back
Los Angeles after an invasion of Alien predators. The film is essentially good vs. evil. The marines protecting the citizens are the good and the aliens are evil. The aliens are trying to wipe out the world in order to get the earths water, water is there fuel. The genre of
Battle:
Los Angeles is sci-fi, action, and thriller. The main actors were Aaron Eckhart who played SSgt. Michael Nantz, Ramon Rodriguez who played 2
nd Lt. William Martinez, and
Corey Hardrict who played Cpl. Jason Lockett. The movie was decent it had realistic elements but at times the camera was very shaky and made some audience members get up and leave for a little. The cameras shakiness could have been for a realistic element, to make the audience feel as if they were in the situation, however it could have been controlled a little better. The film did provoke emotion at some points, for example when a helicopter took off with a few wounded soldiers and then exploded in front of SSgt, Michael Nantz’s platoon and the four citizens. The ending to the movie wasn’t horrible but it never explained what happened to the rest of the world and the killed soldier’s families, which would have been somewhat important to some audience members.
