Battle: Los Angeles

I have heard mixed reviews about this; Action Packed or Battle Obsessed? A significant amount of people are saying that there is too much action in this film. However if we had been invaded by aliens, would we not have to fight pretty much all of the time? I feel Battle :LA gives a realistic view of the emotions and actions of the forces, and also of the intrigued civilians. 

From the very beginning we are placed in the action, we know that something has attacked Los Angeles. We are able to see the damage done, due to L.A being 'colonized'. Although, in my personal opinion I feel there is a balance between the story line and the action. We see Staff Sargent Michael Nantz (Aaron Eckhart) handing in his notice, as he feels he has done his time, and past his sell by date. Unfortunately for him, and conveniently for us, a cluster of meteorites are heading towards certain cities, with large populations. The forces prepare to evacuate, although when Nantz reaches the base, they realise it is not meteorites. They are metal  in structure and  slow down when reaching the Earth. 


Battle : Los Angeles is a must see film. If you like films such as; Cloverfield or Independence Day this is the film for you.


Rating 12A
