Trivia:
Marines from Camp Pendleton helped train the actors for their roles, educating them in the Marine lifestyle. A number of actual marines also appear as extras in the film. To thank them, a sneak preview of the film was shown at Camp Pendleton on March 3rd, 2011.
User Review:
Retreat hell!
, rated: 8/10
Battle: Los Angeles (or Enemy Invasion in EU countries) is a pretty
neat example of what you'll get if you combine camera style of
"Cloverfield", basic plot of "The Independence Day" and the atmosphere
of "Black Hawk Down" together. That would be it for most people if only
the target audience wasn't familiar with video games and haven't
recognized many influences mostly from Killzone and Crysis franchises.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing - definitely something to make the
movie more visible in the amounts of action flicks made these days. And
probably the first one to get it right how to mix video games with
movies - those familiar with those franchises will enjoy it even more,
those who are not will never notice since those influences are not so
explicitly shown throughout the movie. Even though somewhat cheesy,
Battle: LA is one hell of an enjoyable ride. Especially for fans of
Killzone, Crysis, Quake and, what the heck, even Gears of War and Halo.
Jonathan Libesman never made any really noticeable movie but something
tells me he's gonna make it with this one. 8 out of 10.
