The theatrical trailer for Jonathan Liebesman’s Battle: Los Angeles is now available online. Starring Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, Bridget Moynahan, and Michael Pena, the film is of the “alien invasion” variety and follows a Marine staff sergeant (Eckhart) as he and his team take on the unwelcome guests. A few months ago, the film premiered a great teaser trailer. While the theatrical trailer doesn’t quite live up to that stellar cut, it’s still an effective and suspenseful 2:30 minutes that manages to raise my modestly high expectations for the film even higher.
To check out the trailer for yourself, hit the jump. Battle: Los Angeles hits theaters March 11, 2011.
Here’s the trailer [via Yahoo! Movies]: For all of our previous Battle: Los Angeles coverage, click here.
Here’s a synopsis for Battle: Los Angeles:
For years, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world — Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany, China. But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces. As people everywhere watch the world’s great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected. It’s up to a Marine staff sergeant and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they’ve ever encountered before.

Think my name say’s it all!
This is a movie that cannot be waited for. I won’t have it. Must see. Now.
Okay I am the cynical bastard that gripes about every little thing, and that was pretty wicked awesome. There’s nothing to complain about that’s been seen, and that ending electric blue skies is a great ending tag line. Although I do have two primary concerns first is I hope they’ve built a small sense of humor into things, that is to say its not built at times to be comedic but at moments the situation just has a grin or a off beat joke that just makes those few moments funny as all hell, secondly I hope this isn’t a world saving plot, that idea is just kind of too stupid and cliche to put into gear, one platoon amongst many, one battle out of countless, just give us x number of hours with said characters in this outrageous scenario and what they do and how they survive.
its 2011 not 2001
Thanks for catching. Hopefully nobody ran off and bought a time machine because of my foolishness.
What’s unrealistically funny is the pea shooter 5.56 round doing any damage to hulking aliens.
The very serious and grim take on a alien invasion is a little disturbing and new territory. Hopefully it doesn’t takeway from the film. This is coming off as way more serious than black hawk down. (which had a macho action heavy element)
More like saving private ryan meet’s independence day. A strange mix.
Yeah 556 is a peashooter round? Really? That is just stupid, calling 556 peashooter is like calling a 500lb bomb a firecracker. just because there is larger/arguably better version dos’nt make it total crap. If the fictional battle la aliens can take a 556 close range and not feel it, I doubt a 7.62 or a 5.45 would fair much better. But I guess we should just make sure in the event of a alien invasion everyone has 12.7AP capable weapons instead. Right?
TYVM you’ve solved all my prbleoms
what was the song played at the end of the trailer!?
