Although not many in-depth plot details have leaked about Battle: Los Angeles, the one thing that’s been stressed is that the idea is to speculate what would have if the real modern American military had to take on an invading alien force.
The first trailer for the film cleverly follows that thinking. To start with it just looks like a normal war movie, but gradually it becomes clear this isn’t Iraq or Afghanistan, it’s LA and the soldier are battling aliens. The whole thing looks pretty huge and could be a fascinating watch when the movie, directed by Jonathan Liebesman and starring Aaron Eckhart and Michelle Rodriguez, arrives in cinemas on March 25th.
