Shaky frames of troops running around yelling, whining, barking orders, firing at whatever, and reciting endless movie cliche's. The aliens looked like they were made from garbage scraps. What a mess of a movie.
shareHad the . . . misfortune of seeing this yesterday, and it seemed to go one forEVER, with basically no plot or character development, and a lot of loud bullsh!t. One wonders why this wasn't a direct-to-DVD release. Horrible on every single count. Laughably, when watching the other military contingent meet-up, I commented to my friends "all we need is Michelle Rodriquez in this flick, and the crap factor will be complete." Two seconds later, guess who appears in the film??!!? A pointless waste of time.

And to think it had Aaron Eckhart in it. He's a decent actor. Wonder how he got talked into being in this piece of crap.

Every time I see some good actor in awful movies, I can't help thinking "He must have some mortgage going on". ;)

The only sure thing we know: we don't know everything - and we never will.
Yeah probably. But at the end of the day who nows.
"You guys never been in combat. You don't know." -Martin Landau as Sgt. Fred Dobbs in "Without Warning" (1980).
The movie showed the grit of the ground-pounders. What did you guys want, a ballet?

Very true. But that doesn't mean you can make a whole movie with confusing, shaky, loud *beep* during most of the entire thing. It becomes senseless. And to top it off you can't add all the emotionally cliche' movie lines and expect it to be taken realistically. At the end of the day its just an alien movie. It could have been a lot better.
you ever been in the military? it's an endless parade of cliches.
shareThis was a GREAT Movie. You guys are all idiots who say there was no plot...the plot was, they're a Squad of soldiers going in to get trapped civilians during an alien invasion. All the troops hate Sgt. Nance because he supposedly left one of the soldiers older brother to die...hence why they think he did the same thing later.
No idea what you guys were smoking who claim no plot, shakey camera and no character development. This was a good well rounded flick with a nice ending and all characters wrapped up nicely. Great effects and a great selfless act at the end.
I loved this flick. Step away from the drugs people and listen to what they are saying and try to not pick a movie apart. They're more enjoyable if you just check reality at the door and have fun.
You seriously need to get a CLUE.
And I do mean seriously ... get your head examined before you hurt yourself or others.

This script would have worked better as the framework for a video game. Probably would have made more money as well.
shareAside from Aaron Eckhart the rest of the cast were bad no name actors that could have been the cast of a Sy Fy original movie. I had a hard time finishing the movie, the beginning was torture to sit through the character introductions, with the faux documentary camera movements.
It really did feel like it was a larger then average budget movie for Sy Fy. I doubt there will be a sequel to it, unless it's direct to video,
I would say that Battlefield: L.A. was 99% crap. Give me a break; a handful of U.S. marines take on a invading alien force and the marines kick ass. The whole movie was a recruitment video to join the Marine Corps. No mention was made of the rest of the world fighting the aliens but hey, who needs them when one has the U.S. army. All the way through it, I was constantly reminded of the slogan "We need a few good men." Oh yes, and one good woman.

This is a good movie. There are a few misfires early during the set up but overall one of the few military movies with realistic leaders, soldiers and tactics. The Marines are spot on just like the ones I served with over the years. As a matter of fact I was surprised that most of the action and battlefield confusion even managed to make it on screen. Hollywood generally dumbs down or FPS video games war movies.
