If you can move past the movie's central premise and believe that anyone would actually want to save Los Angeles and/or if you're the type of movie goer who loves the patriotic - if idiotic - silliness of Hollywood's fascination for these US-Marines-battle-Aliens romps, you're going to love Battle Los Angeles and Jonathan Liebesman's direction. For the rest of us there is but a ever-so-thin plot driven by even thinner character development focused on one Sgt. Nantz (Aaron Eckhart). Battle Los Angeles is filmed in a Hurt Locker-style that - one supposes - adds grittiness and a real 'I'm-there' feel. Alas it doesn't help and this reviewer spent its overly long runtime praying the Aliens would win.
My rating 3 out of 10.
