Battle: Los Angeles / World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles (世界異戰) is a 2011 film. The movie stars Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Peña, Ne-Yo, Ramon Rodriguez, and Bridget Moynahan. The movie was shot in a neo-documentary style.
Aliens attack 20 cities around the world. Los Angeles is among one of them. A platoon of marines is sent in to retrieve civilians from an police station from within enemy lines. The story follows them as they get to the target to retrieve and how they get out.
The movie was quite intense. Shot in an neo-documentary style, its majority shot with handhelds and in your face.
I really enjoyed the movie. After looking at the box office numbers, its sad that this film didn't do better. There were no big names in the film to pull it and maybe that's why it was released in the spring to avoid the summer bloodbath. All the actors and actresses did a pretty good job of protraying their characters. With as much of a event film like this, you have to set up the main guys to at least care about them as they start to get picked off. I was onboard from the beginning to the end.
