Battle Los Angeles, a movie from Columbia Pictures, is directed by Jonathan Liebesman (The Killing Room) stars Aaron Eckhart, Ramon Rodriguez, Michelle Rodriguez, Bridget Moynahan and a large ensemble about a military alien invasion on Earth and Los Angeles is where we follow the actions on one military unit.
If any alien knows anything, it’s that when Michelle Rodriguez is on the scene, they’re going to have a very bad day!

Battle Los Angeles gives us multiple openings… we first find ourselves following a few military personnel in a transit chopper headed into battle as we get a glimpse of all their faces.
We then back-track 24 hours and meet a few of the officers and soldiers in quick, meant to be endearing moments, of their lives. Through this quick recap of the 24 hours, we also keep hearing the radios and TV’s reporting on the meteors headed for Earth, being predicted to land off the coast of several major cities on Earth.
Underneath it all, we have a shell-shocked Sgt Michael Nantz (Eckhart) and a green team leader in 2nd Lt. William Martinez (R. Rodriguez). Along the way, they pick up TSgt. Elena Santos (M. Rodriguez).
‘Nuff said there. I think you know where things are going to go from there knowing that.
