The Team Blows Up an Alien Ship | Battle Los Angeles (2011) | Now Playing

[@chebaca8]

I think the most unbelievable thing about this scene is how there was once gas that was 2.96 in LA

[@s.patrick6136]

Lol😂

[@lewismccann5531]

Just checked, it’s $3.07 right now

[@chebaca8]

@@lewismccann5531 Really? Cuz I frequent LA and I haven't seen any gas station that's below 4 dollars

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

It's always amusing to see people in the country that has some of the worlds lowest fuel prices, whining about the cost of it. Clue: For gasolene, the US pays about half what Australia does, and the US pays about quarter of what Europe does, but sure, it's unbearably expensive in the US,...

[@marcsonger9320]

The acting in this scene by aaron eckhart was great

[@shawnjohnson9763]

A few things about this movie. The filmmakers wanted to make a war movie in LA, not necessarily an alien invasion movie. But, since there's no military force on Earth that could actually do it, they went with aliens. Second, they wanted to make it from the perspective of a squad of Marines trying to survive in a city overrun by aliens and finding a way to succeed. You're not seeing things from the point of view of high ranking leaders or scientists trying to come up with a grand strategy or finding a weakness. You're in the thick of the fighting. And finally, too many people make the assumption that alien military technology and tactics would be ridiculously too advanced. But that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. I love this movie. My only complaints are that a couple of characters are a little cliche, and the aliens coming to steal our water was stupid.

[@Jarekx2007]

There's simply no way you'd be able to traverse the vast distances required in space without having ridiculously advanced technology compared to ours. To give you an idea, light takes ~12 minutes on average to make it to Mars, our current manned mission objective. It takes light 4.246 YEARS to reach Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our own.

[@donaldwert7137]

Yeah, the idea that there's some kind of resource on Earth that couldn't be found more abundantly elsewhere, without fighting for it, strikes me as pretty lame. A ship capable of crossing interstellar space would almost certainly be able to refine raw materials from comets, asteroids, etc. Humans as food has some merit, but is seldom presented.

[@SilentArc]

You know what they should’ve done? The aliens should have somehow negotiate to take some sea water because we have a danger of rising sea levels lol

[@lewisdoherty7621]

Jupiter's moon Europa is covered in water which is 62 miles deep. There is plenty of water available all over the place.

[@Gamer-fz5gl]

@@donaldwert7137 Water is found pretty much everywhere in space, theres no reason why aliens would cross the entire galaxy to find us when they can just mine a few comets/asteroids.

Such a savage thing to say to the french. "Retreat, hell. We just got here." Hoo rah

[@condor7964]

All this time I thought he said: "Retreat hell, which is get outta here." Yours makes more sense though.

[@strongheart8]

I recall reading that Aaron Eckhardt traveled with some Marines in Afghanistan to prepare for the role and that the director sought to make it a soldier's story, rather than a regular tech-driven sci-fi. That is why the dialogue is the way it is -- they are soldiers. I think a lot of people didn't get this movie, but the hand-held camera filming effects, the close ups of the shell casings hitting the ground, and the soldiers agony at getting hit really put the audience in the fight. So what if there are cliches. I think the movie is underrated.

[@rcslyman8929]

It is underrated. And deserved a hell of a lot more attention than it got, because tell you what. If an enemy ever did get a beachhead here, whether terrestrial, extra, or otherwise, Marines would absolutely be leading that counteroffensive charge. We had Transformers, Battleship, and... you know, I can't really remember a good Army movie from around then. Regardless, this was a Devil Dog movie. It, and they, deserved a hell of a lot better release.

[@Arcturus572]

And the things that Arron did, from the hunted eyes watching the aircraft, to the shaking of the hands after getting back on the bus, just show that he did real research, and worked with the people who were really "in the suck" of battle, and it shows in every move he makes while doing this character. And later, when he's having the confrontation with the brother of his former company member, reciting the SSN's of each soldier killed under his command, shows the real guilt a true NCO would have that cared for his men... That scene alone hit me in the feels, having grown up around the military.

[@saldissalcedo7667]

Marines, not soldiers

[@AlexSmith-4811]

Ok so probably not a popular opinion, but i really liked this movie

[@paulrandig]

Sometimes I like to think that all that hatred today is encouraged by aliens. They don't have conventional weapons but they pose as right-wing politicians and dictators and lead people to hate and kill each other.

[@chukwuebukanwajagu5922]

This movie should have a continuation. There should be Battle Las Vegas or somthing

[@christophermees6445]

Agreed! There needs to be another installment of this film.

[@tylerdurden6574]

That’s a great idea, same movie concept but from either other branches perspective or other cities

[@valzicplayz3845]

Problem is the Aliens lost the war after los angeles because jerk off squad of marines outnumbered and have no air support destorys the alien command ship. Which made the path way for the rest of the world to be able to beat the alien forces everywhere else.

I remember rolling my eyes when Michelle Rodriguez showed up. Can she play anything else besides "the tough girl?"

[@anthonycarlisle6184]

Thank you! I personally dislike her acting and dont find her compelling in any fashion, but she's in damn near everything I find mildly entertaining for decades! From resident evil, halo, f&f, etc - from voice acting, lead/support acting...she's got a great talent agency. My bad for venting, I don't run across many comments pointing out their passive disdain for her.

[@gasser5001]

@@anthonycarlisle6184 A lot of people find her very attractive, including me. Her acting isn't terrible since it's usually the 'same' role. Sometimes, it's a little over the top but... there are much worse actresses, that's for sure. And yes, she has roles that aren't the 'tough girl' ones. She's good.

LOVED THIS MOVIE

[@Gateship-1]

I love this movie because it reminds me of a book I read in high school; some cheap paperback at the dollar store type thing. The plot was essentially the same but instead of landing disguised as meteors, we saw the ship enter our solar system and jettison a massive chunk of itself. The chunk was a one use “hyperdrive”, implying they had no choice but to win against humanity.

[@Spectatorofthegames]

East LA, that’s pretty accurate.

Always nice of the aliens to give the humans a fighting chance.

They’ve done studies that there’s plenty of water in the solar system but what may be rare is protein… err… meat. If aliens came it wouldn’t be for out water; it’d be to collect food.

well to them, water is more important as they wasted no time collecting whatever they can, even the alien soldiers use pool water to heal themselves

Yes, the aliens in Independence Day were t odumb too. So let us all conclude that aliens seems rather intelligent but are always too dumb for us - or at least for the US military.
