Title: Captivating military sci-fi...
Product review: "Battle: Los Angeles"(2011) is directed by Jonathan Liebesman (The Killing Room). Aaron Eckhart stars as SSgt. Michael Nantz who helps lead a group of marines against an alien attack. This film is reminiscent of "Black Hawk Down" but with aliens instead of Somalis for enemies. A sweeping, heroic soundtrack that would have been at home in the film "The Last of the Mohicans" is often buried beneath the gun fire and explosions. The special effects are great and the action keeps coming. Some of the editing and jittery camera work initially feels choppy, but once the action kicks in all is well and we just hang on and enjoy the ride which is often compelling.This blu-ray has many interesting special features about the making of the film.
