Battle: Los Angeles

Amazing movie,a good mix between sci-fi and action.

Really liked this. A simple sci-fi action movie that has everything you need and nothing you don't.

This is more war genre than sci fi, & too long.

Well, a few of the performances were really wellacted, especially Eckhart but the movie basically is every cliche you'd ever seen in just about any war movie. Also, they show very little of the aliens, I suppose as CGI and props would've cut into the profit. I don't plan on adding it to my collection but it isn't necessarily a bad movie- just not memorable in any way. Cinema nerds will hate it/ dumb people will think it's amazing- simple as that.

Battle: Los Angeles is the kind of movie that restores my faith in Hollywood’s ability to create action films that actually grip you from start to finish. It’s exciting, immersive, and unapologetically entertaining—a film that knows exactly what it wants to be and delivers on that promise. Watching it on blu-ray on an 85” TV, in filmmaker mode, with a 7.1.2 DTS audio mix, the experience was nothing short of spectacular. The discrete sound channels and height effects didn’t just complement the movie—they were essential, pulling me right into the chaos of alien warfare. If you’re watching this on a small screen or without proper sound, you’re missing the full experience, and I can’t help but wonder if that’s exactly what happened to the critics. Speaking of critics, it’s baffling how out of touch they can be. Their reviews were mixed to negative, but audience reactions tell a completely different story. It’s like the critics were watching a different movie, perhaps on their phones or 15” laptop screens. The truth is, for the most part, audiences loved Battle: Los Angeles, and for good reason. This isn’t a film for dissecting themes or overanalyzing character arcs—it’s a visceral, high-octane thrill ride, and it excels at that. Sure, the movie leans on some war movie clichés, but those clichés feel right for the genre. They ground the film in a familiar structure, making the story both relatable and engaging. The attention to detail is phenomenal, from the incredible special effects to the practical sets. The filmmakers even went as far as shipping palm trees to New Orleans to convincingly recreate Los Angeles—talk about commitment to the craft. Aaron Eckhart leads the cast with an intensity that holds the movie together, delivering a performance that feels raw and authentic. The entire cast went through weeks of military training, and it shows in their physicality and teamwork on screen. This is a group of actors who worked hard to entertain us, and their effort pays off. Battle: Los Angeles grabs you and doesn’t let go. It’s a thrilling, immersive experience that critics couldn’t see for what it was because they’ve become too lost in their own self-importance. Forget the critics—ask your friends, your peers, or anyone who loves a good action movie. They’ll tell you the truth: this movie delivers, and it does so spectacularly.

Really enjoyed this film .watched a few times now.

Nonstop heart pounding action. Yes cliched. So what? It entertains, with emotional moments. I watch it whenever I can.

I've watched this movie almost every time it shows up on television. I'm currently (12-3-24) watching it again on the Syfy channel. I always loved Aaron Exkhardt as an actor and his acting in this was very realistic as a soldier reluctantly going back into battle and resuming leadership of a squadron. The strong acting of the entire cast was good as well. Very intense movie.

Super good movie. People are crazy for hating this movie.

Absolutely awesome action movie with an ending leaving you wanting more. The critics are so wrong, this movie deserves way more of a score.
