Battle: Los Angles 7/10
As we have seen from countless alien invasion films, Earth is invaded by an alien species because our planet has something that they need. I will not disclose the reason why this alien species have invaded, but I thought the special effects and new form of aliens along with their technology to be amazing. However, the main characters in this story are a group of about 20 marines as they fight against the aliens. I found most of the marines in this story to be entirely too emotional and lacking any form of skills regarding their occupation. I mean, since they are in the military (marine core), one would assume they would be using stealth and not talking to one another while they are on their mission, but this group is loud, disorganized and inexperienced. I would really like an alien invasion movie where they skip the monologue or pep talk from the leader and concentrate their effort on destroying the enemy. Here is another tip, if you are the leader in the group and need to escape the city immediately, I recommend not taking a bus and driving on a highway. Why? The highways are the first to be destroyed in an invasion or attack so stick with side roads and faster vehicles.
The only reason I am giving this film a 7/10 is because Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez and Adetokumboh M’Cormack were the only actors in this film that portrayed marines as disciplined, organized and able to get through a war zone without crying like a little baby.
