The negligible plot consists of mysterious UFOs that crash into major cities around the world (they're first thought to be an inexplicably coordinated array of meteors) and then hatch hordes of alien warships bent on obliterating everything in sight. Unfortunately for audiences, the bland characters in Battle do way too much talking, shouting, crying, and faux-emoting, all with much less personality than their alien counterparts, who don't talk at all but look really cool (gooey, nasty little cyborgian death machines).īattle: Los Angeles is essentially a first-person shooter video game masquerading as a movie. But such is the unfortunate case with Battle: Los Angeles, a film populated with human characters so lifeless, so uninteresting, and so painstakingly clichéd that out of pity we wish the aliens would just zap them all and be done with it. It's not a good sign when, at the end of an alien invasion movie, you're disappointed that the aliens have not emerged victorious.
