Battle: LA

This movie was described to me as "moto-boner food," and I must say that does sum up the movie in a nut shell.

OK I know I am a little bit too late on the scene for both seeing this movie and reviewing it, but I'm so glad I went late than never. 

This movie was such an amazing piece of dramatic action cinema, and I loved every single minute of it. There wasn't a thing I didn't enjoy about this film, not even Michelle Rodriguez (and believe you me when I say I cannot stand that woman in any of the movies she's been in). The film had very solid and very dramatic acting lead by Aaron Eckhart (of who I am always pleased to see) that kept not only the pace of the movie flowing, but nailed me to the edge of my seat. Eckhart plays the role of a United States Marine Corps Platoon Sargent, Michael Nantz, who is a day away from retirement, when astroids descend upon the beaches and shores of major cities across the globe and as an alien apocalypse is unleashed onto Earth, he is assigned to lead a platoon of Marines to scout and find survivors.

The film is about a (what I found to be a delightfully) unexplained alien invasion on the world, and centers around Eckhart and his half platoon of United States Marines who, when the action really ramps up, fight to stop the alien invasion taking from LA. I would have an impossible time telling you what part that I absolutely loved solely because this entire movie was one giant action-gasm. In other words, loved it from the first minute to the last. It quickly, which in the first 20min, became one of my all time favorite apocalypse movies to date. Military centered movies, I must admit, always get me going, specially ones that center on the USMC, this was a key attraction for me. 

Everything I look for in a movie is in this film: Action, drama, military respect, aliens, and an apocolyptic setting. All in all, I'd say you should go see this movie even if it's the last ten dollars to your name.
