Please note this is a region B blu-ray & will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play Battle Los Angeles is a war movie first science fiction second It&s got it all a burned-out retiring sergeant who gets drawn back in because dammit the Marines need him; the guy who&s about to get married; the guy who&s still a virgin; the guy suffering from shell shock & who just might crack; the newbie officer with a lot of book learning who you just know is going to freeze under pressure & have to be shepherded by that burned-out sergeant who learned his lessons on the battlefield… & so much more There&s not a moment in this movie you haven&t seen before--the only twist is that the enemy is alien so whatever shred of concern you might have for raining heavy artillery on a fellow human being can be cheerfully cast aside But cliches are cliches because they are efficient & effective & despite the profound familiarity of Battle Los Angeles there&s no denying the movie rips along (though two-thirds of the way through you may have forgotten who was the virgin & who was the shell-shocked guy--but really does it matter?)
