6/10not bad but not overly epic
Plot: A Marine Staff Sergeant who has just had his retirement approved goes back into the line of duty in order to assist a 2nd Lieutenant and his platoon as they fight to reclaim the city of Los Angeles from alien invaders.
Alien/robots are attacking and we follow a marine staff sergeant as the battle rages. Staff Sergeant's aim to get his platoon and civilians (there's 4 in total that they saved) out to safety. Sound's pretty familiar doesn't it? That's because it is. This tale has been done before, just this time they threw in aliens.
Entire film is filled with battles and standoffs, which if that's what you're hoping for in a film then this is great for you. I didn't mind the endless battles as, in all honesty, it was pretty fun to watch.
The thing I found most annoying about this film is the cliche dialogue and the propaganda to join the marine appeal. It got quite overpowered with almost slogan like dialogue that I was starting to lose focus while watching.
Aaron Eckhart played your typical Hollywood die hard hero. He did a decent job but nothing new there. I'm just glad that he isn't sticking to one type of role and branches out in all genres.
Definitely a macho man type of movie with ton of: gun fire, battles, explosions, alien robots, war and all sorts of weapons. If you like standoff gun fight explosion, this is for you
