"100% EXPLOSIVE ACTION"
Battle: Los Angeles (also known as Battle: LA) is an action science fiction film by Jonathan Liebesman. (Same guy that brought us The Ring & The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) This film is set in modern day Los Angeles’s and follows a platoon of U.S Marines as they battle through a global alien invasion. Its Starring Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Pena, Ne-Yo & Bridget Moynahan.
#Fact: This film is inspired by a supposed World War II air raid of a city that turned out to be a false alarm caused by unidentified objects.
THE REVIEW:
What a Large Scale War Production this film is. The moment the film started I knew it would blow me away and right I was, it captured my attention from the start to finish. The director takes you on an epic adventure with the platoon U.S Marines of Man Vs. Machine. Add the concept of Independence Day, a triple dose of the intensity in The Hurt Locker & some aliens that run on water you would have this film. (also reminded me of Call of Duty). Every explosion, gunshot & missile launch was breath-taking to watch. The entertainment level was over the roof that I didn’t want it to end, watching this made me feel like i was there with them fighting this war against the aliens. It’s exactly why people go cinema isn’t it? To be able to feel the action in their cinema seats.
The production as a whole was realistic to an extent but I think they should have shown what other marines & pilots did to help in the fight, it was too closed off. The amount of fire power the aliens are discharging per minute was way too much for anyone to survive. The cinematography was at its peak because of how the cities being blown up are showed. The CGI was done perfectly to show how serious the matter was. The aliens looked as scary & deadly as they could make it.
Hats off to Aaron Eckhart (Staff Sergent Michael Nantz) He leads the platoon through the biggest fight of their lives. His performance as a Sergent as outstanding. He handles every scene perfectly whether it was shooting aliens or giving bonding speeches. It was good to see so many great actors/actresses in this film, everyone pull off great performances.
#Overall: Full On Entertainment.
MY STAR RATINGS OUT OF 5: 4.7
ONE FAVOURITE MOMENT IN THE FILM:
The scene where Staff Sergent Michael Nants (Eckhart) goes to distract the drone by running to the petrol station with the radio. #SomeJohnWayneShit
