Aliens have invaded Earth and they’ve understandably decided to focus a substantial amount of their fire power on the home of Hollywood. As America burns it’s left to a rag tag group of Marines to pull out survivors, and generally save the day, in-between dying pretty God damn heroically. OK so Battle: Los Angeles is generic to a tee and some of the dialogue is excruciating, but this is a crackingly relentless action movie, and if it wasn’t as preposterous as it is, it probably wouldn’t be as much fun.
