Opening Today
The plot of Battle: Los Angeles is straightforward. Aliens invade large coastal cities worldwide with the purpose of colonizing Earth.. The aliens need our water supply, from the water in the oceans to the water in the sewers. All the Marines are deployed to evaculate the population of large cities and protect Los Angeles from the invasion. Aaron Eckhart plays a Staff Sgt who has just applied for retirement. A combat veteran, SSgt. Nantz is the leader of a platoon who finds the alien control center. Will this small platoon be able to save Earth? Think District 9 meets Independence Day. This movie is just one battle scene after another, lots of bombs, explosions, shootings and every other type of weapon imaginable. I like Eckhart as an actor, he is very convincing as a military leader. Even though I am a science fiction fan, this movie just doesn't cut the mustard.
