Synopsis

For years, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world – Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany, China. But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces. As people everywhere watch the world’s great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected. It’s up to a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they’ve ever encountered before.

Having no idea what Liebesman wants to do for a Battle: Los Angeles sequel, I doubt Sony has picked up this script in order to adapt it for that purpose, but you really never know what kind of ideas they might come up with...

Weekend Box Office - Aliens At War Win, Aliens As Moms Lose

This year's spate of spring flicks are sputtering onto the screen, adding to 2011's trail of blown budgets and slipping ticket sales. Three new entries made their bid at the box office this weekend, but only one showed signs of bucking the trend. Battle: Los Angeles banked the highest opening Friday sales year-to-date and earned the second highest opening weekend of the year so far ...

Just because her character wasn't using her tech sergeant skills in battle didn't mean Rodriguez didn't do her homework.

Interview: Aaron Eckhart Brings Intensity And Grunts To Battle: Los Angeles

Battle: Los Angeles may be a loud and action-packed alien invasion movie, but Aaron Eckhart definitely didn't treat it like your average blockbuster. The actor known for his verbally dexterous work with Neil Labute or in Thank You For Smoking describes his dream movie as one in which "I just run around and grunt"...

This Rotten Week: Predicting Battle: Los Angeles, Mars Needs Moms, Red Riding Hood Reviews

It's an underwhelming week for the Rotten Watch as a trio of completely uninspiring movies hit theaters. I'm still angry at one of my predictions from last week which I'll get to at the bottom. But before that Los Angeles is under attack aliens that aren't the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Amanda Seyfried deals with the big, bad wolf, and aliens need some motherly love. ...

Learn The Alien Attack Plan In This Battle: LA Clip

Here’s a new clip from Battle: Los Angles in which we learn the alien’s attack plan. They’ve landed in twelve different locations around the globe as part of coordinated assault, and things are looking pretty grim. Part of the reason they’re looking so grim may be that America’s generals have decided to reveal their battle tactics and troop strength on CNN....

First Clip From Battle: Los Angeles Shows An Ambush

When facing down an alien invasion, it's typically good to have an escape plan. Extraterrestrials typically have much more advanced weaponry and being ambushed by a large number of them can leave many members of your platoon in a state known as "not living." Unfortunately it's a mistake made by Aaron Eckhart and his boys in the first clip from Battle: Los Angeles....

Given the magnitude of the film, it's surprising how few posters we've seen for Battle: Los Angeles. Three trailers and a Super Bowl spot have been released, but when it comes to artwork there's only a teaser poster and one standard one-sheet. Perhaps they're just taking their time thinking of designs, because this new one is incredible....
