"Battle: Los Angeles": For those who haven't experience combat trauma . . .

This was one close up, intense movie. No sooner the film began than did the near non-stop action. The first reports coming in that the attackers were 'alien' was met with disbelief but their actions soon born that out.
This is a spectacle similar to WotW or ID with BHD thrown in the mix but it was very close into the shite and quite a work out for the theater sound system. You may experience your startle reflex afterwards when a car backfires.
What I liked about these aliens is that weren't all issued 'death rays' or 'disintegrate' pistols--they seemed to be carrying ordinance very similar to our own stuff only faster and more powerful. These guys could be killed, it didn't take a cold germ to bring them down. (Spoiler) They came for our water not our oil.
Aaron Eckhardt did a good job as a retiring E-6 marine sergeant who was gun shy after losing too many men in Afghanistan. Sent out to rescue some civilians holed up at an abandoned police station the rescue mission soon turned to chaos and a desperate attempt to get clear of the bombing zone.
No matter how you feel about the subject matter this is the kind of film you have to go see. It's required of all guys. I presume the video game will be out next week. 8^)
