The Squad Sees Aliens for the First Time | Battle Los Angeles (2011) | Now Playing - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Really like this movie. No wartime romance, just straight combat from beginning to end.
Yes! The romance part always gets annoying real quick 😂
But... they loved killing the aliens. Still a better love story than Twilight.
Romance plots kill most movies
Great recruitment tool for young suckers.
Except the camera work is absolute shit
It's not exactly Shakespeare, but I love this movie. I wanted "soldiers fighting aliens" and that's EXACTLY what I got.
Marines*
@@calebh7902 unless they're royal marine commandos, theyre soldiers :P
well stated
Oversensitive ,person who cares what you want.
This movie was not made for you.bozo
@@cbennetts2746...no, no they're not.
The best part about this movie is that the aliens didn't overwhelm these Marines by standing out in front of them and shrugging off bullets with superior technology. These aliens would have ambushed these Marines exactly the same way with old tech. Work into a superior position, distract, pin down, flush into the kill zone. It's just a better alien invader movie. No worries about their motivation because they don't care to communicate it and the humans don't need to know. It's highly underrated as a piece of art that way. I know it doesn't read like The Hurt Locker or anything and they do have their eyerolling melodrama moments, but depicting an alien invasion this way hasn't really been done before.
Independence Day
It's because they were in a war so it's worse what's coming
Well said
@@MikeySkywalkerthat was more like locusts, a sudden invasion, not a planned ambush
Great point. I was just thinking about the way the men were stunned at / that the aliens abilities and tactics would mimic our own. War is war, and they are much smarter by weaponizing a man’s hubris against him instead of their advanced technology.
Humans: "We are at war with aliens"
Dogs: "We cool"
More like "got some food"
Which makes you think, why was the dog spared, were the aliens only targeting humans or did they not notice the dog?
@@TheRealZombieWizard Probably as an ambush tactic to let their guard down
I think they were patrolling when the dog got out and that they just kinda of let it go, why bother? But hearing the humans they got into ambush positions.
Basically a regular day in Los Angeles.
Average GTA V lobby
Nah: real LA is much worse :)
That's gun fights with illegal aliens!
But I thought It's "OHIO"😅
Right by 7th and Metro on a Saturday...
I’m the only person in my family who likes this movie. When we were doing a purge of movies we don’t watch, I smuggled the disc away to my room. Sometimes I watch it when no one’s home. I don’t know what they have against it, I love this movie.
"Sometimes I watch it when no one's home," ooh you bad boy you 😂😂
how old are you ?
Yeah, I love combat movies but it's probably because it's a dumb movie 😂😂
@@jaytee4374lololololol
@@jaytee4374 loooooool get out lol
To this day the 'contact' and everyone giving directions to the target in different ways was awesome! Contact coming from the roof,11 o'clock, flanking on are left side...make's this old Infantryman proud of his Marine Hollywood bros
sometimes they get it right with how those of us in the military operate.
@wakcedout they apparently had real marines advising the movie and some of the extras in the scenes were actual marines as well.
I was actually fairly impressed with how they represented us as far as call outs etc go.
GG
Youre all gay
One of the best Alien Invasion films made to date, very underrated. They created an Alien force that looked completely foreign but operated as a structured Military.
This movie was so over dramatic and cringe. I could barely sit through the whole thing.
@@baronoflight when have we ever seen a movie where an alien race invades a primitive modernized human society this movie was great i loved it!, war of the worlds was good too and so was Battleship, Independance day 1 and 2 was good
I- literally alien will be better 10000%
This movie was terrible and you have awful taste. Enjoy your lame B movie 😂
@@baronoflightI’d think aliens invading would be pretty dramatic
Absolutely loved the part where the alien rises from the pool behind the soldier. The camera angle. Just everything. I love how the Director gives you just enough time to watch the alien lift up it's weapon and aim. Right before it cuts to the soldier turning around.
Many props to the Director for such attention to detail in that small part. The aliens' tactical abilities in this film make them so menacing. Damn, such a very underrated movie.
Predictable.
Not sure why this is one of the best damn alien invasion movies in recent times. The enemy is aliens, but the combat is very much like what we've seen real world against human armies.
Yeah, because I can easily see this same scenario happening in Fallujah or somewhere.
@@longxiao9823it kinda is, just replace the ak47s with energy powered ak47s
If you watch the directors cut, it was heavily hinted that the aliens battling against the humans were more of a colonizing force. The aliens were theoretically escaping another war invasion of their home planet and happened to land on planet earth first. If the aliens' brought their actual military; earth would had been toasted in less than a few days.
@@coolgamers2794 That's a cool concept. Imagine you beat these aliens thinking you won, but then their actual military shows up and you realize you only took out the scouts.
@@AkimboJVI remember the "Behind the scenes movie" talk; the aliens here escaped a war with other alien life forms back at their home planet. These were suppose to be more of farmers to terraform earth to make it hospitable for them only. The humans happens to be in the way only.
I'm almost sure the aliens understood that dog was a domestic animal and send it to distract marines just to take them by suprise. Maybe.... maybe not
That makes sense. I thought they used it to gauge the distance between them as well.
I like to think even the aliens knew not to kill the fuckin dog xD
“Commander! We have an earth-beast running south! Four legs, pointed ears! Permission to neutralise?”
“Negative, Private. That’s a dog. Pre-landing research determines them to be of great cultural significance to humans.”
“All due respect, Commander, but why should we care?”
“High risk of escalation. Kill the dog and this whole planet’ll never let us hear the end of it. Leave it alive, see if it can provide us with any leads. Over.”
They mastered intersteller travel, im pretty sure they were capable of understanding the human/ "pet" relationship.
Gr8 film
Taken from predator.
Predator does the same thing to distract Jessy Ventura and let his guard down.
The critics hated this movie, that's why it was so good. Compared to the utter garbage being made in 2024, this was, and still is, a damn good film.
You just don't like cinema... Utter garbage? That tells me you don't watch enough
@@tyedrichill8097 "cinema"? Dude stop being a pansy. We got to the MOVIES for raw entertainment, not to view an artistic masterpiece. We want shooting and aliens exploding - that's it. Nothing more, nothing less.
It’s good because someone else hated it? That’s a strange way to look at entertainment 🤔
@@gp2917 critics aren't people
idk whats good about that movie. The basic shaky camera bs the 2010s and late 2000s where infamous for. Lackluster brutality and combat. Stupid high tech aliens. The millionth Private Ryan homage.
And considering how 2024 went with Dune or Fallout gotta say, your statement aged very poorly. Movies sucked in the 2000s and 2010s. Since people are making movies, we've accumulated a huge pile of shit movies, and thats not the fault of any generation of movies. We just tend to remember the really good ones like LotR and tend to forgett b class shit like Battle Los Angeles.
Securing that alien body would have been a top priority.
Yea true. Like they did later in the movie to figure out their physical structure, weapons technology, ect.
Yeah...and surely a waste of one good grenade
@janverbanck not really. Remember at this point they hadn't figured out how to kill them yet. They've shot them multiple times and still not taken it down.
The 1st question I'm going to ask is: "Does it have a penis?"
yeah.... none of em reaching into a pool that they can't see.
A seriously underrated movie
It wasn't underrated back in 2011. The video game adaptation was more underrated.
7:59 that’s gotta be absolutely terrifying. The actor really sells that feeling of hopelessness in the moment. If it was real, they’d have to be thinking “Jesus Christ, if it takes multiple mags and a grenade to kill just one of these, how are we ever going to survive this!?”
5:37 that Tide Powder soap is a traitor 😂😂😂😂
It’s getting back at people for eating it’s tide pod cousins
This is why never used tide only arm and hammer and gain 😂
Fighting against automatons be like
FOR DEMOCRACY
I'M SEEING DROPSHIPS OVER I-95, HOW THE HELL THEY GET THROUGH?
any time a gun moves: CLICK CLACK CLICKETY CLICK
Exactly :D I have yet to see an action movie where the sound effects guy is a bit more chilled out...
I know it’s so fucking annoying and unrealistic.
honestly we need more aliens vs soldiers movies like this
Talk about a movie that could have been the start to an amazing franchise.
yeah, I would have loved to have seen a follow up movie myself.
Would’ve been nice, but… eh. Probably better that it wasn’t. Hollywood seems to have forgotten lately that stories can and should have endings. The franchise is a powerful and treacherous temptress.
No because that will lead to saturation and boredom - look what happened with SAW horror movie. The first one was a masterpiece. After that it turned into a clown show, a boring theme park ride.
@@wootle I’ve heard people say that Saw gets a lot more enjoyable if you approach it as a soap opera. A really gory soap opera. I can vouch for that mindset.
Lt found out there was a big difference between the training schools and real combat.
Criminally underrated. One of the best non R Rated war movies of the past few decades.
I remember how some 'critics' severely lambasted this movie, and then, later when I saw this movie, I felt "Wow, this ain't bad at all !"
Truly, as @MikMoen said, "one of the best Alien Invasion films to date, very underrated", indeed.
I don't listen to critics. Most are just dbags with their own agenda. I'm perfectly fine watching a movie and making my own determinations for me. Certain movies aren't my thing (romantic dramas), but I'm not going to poo poo on them because I don't like them. That's what I feel critics do. If it doesn't meet their inflated ego's reasoning of what a good movie is, they just trash it.
That's why I have never watched this movie, but now I will. It looks like fun.
@@DennisCoffman-dd8ok this movie is just the right mix of cheese and realism to make it perfect
still one of the best "alien invasion" movies EVER. watched it 5 times now. still the most realistic/believeable EVER
You find it believable that a species capable of interstellar travel would wage a ground war and even with vastly superior technology have trouble defeating primitive enemies?
@@gnomechomsky2524 i agree but this is hollywood entertainment. im mostly talking about it from the infantry section sides perspective
@@gnomechomsky2524 Actually, the invasion force isn't even an invasion force. The aliens we see in this movie are running from another race of even more powerful aliens. Earth is their final hope for survival and their fight on Earth is basically their final attempt at life. They are desperate.
For a desperate race of aliens, they sure did some major damage in a very short time.
To be honest, these aliens are only slightly ahead of humans in terms of technology. It's almost like the tech they have is a result of war with a more advanced race, similar to how tech evolved during WW1 and 2.
It's all very crude, but functional.
@@mfactor88I dunno about you, but the small unit tactics are pretty on point.
@@taoliu3949 thats one reason i enjoy it so much :)
This would make a kick-ass mod for Fallujah.
Bro that would be fantastic
Or _Squad_ or _Arma_ , or anything. Hell, I'd fuck with _Insurgency Sandstorm_ aliens.
you can technically emulate this with halo addons in operation harsh doorstop
Watching this movie in the cinema was one of the best experiences ever. The way this movie is shot, and how loud they turned this movie up, shook the whole building. I literally felt like i m in a warzone! My ears were even ringing a bit after the movie. Probably not good, but it made for an immersive experience, i can tell you that much.
I always thought this movie was overlooked, underrated, and amazingly well done.
underrated alien movie, it's worthy of a re-watch every couple years. Wish more would come out with this format. maybe make it larger scale since this was just watching one squadron.
Saw this movie in the theater when it came out. My brother and I had no idea what it was about, just the title sounded good. We were totally blown away! Loved this on the big screen!
Early to early 2010s was such a golden-era for awesome movies. Always seems weird to say “they don’t make them like this anymore” but they really don’t. Everything is watered down with the same actors and boring.
I’ve always LOVED the design of the aliens in this movie!
Love the hand to hand combat. Fix bayonet works for both ways.
Remember kids the Alien has the high ground like the shower scene in the rock. Always keep cover.
That dude in the laundry room is exactly why friendly fire happens.
They come crossing multiple star systems to fight humans with hand held toy toy weapons 😂😂
Toy toy?
@@WalterEKurtz-kp2jfpew pew
Those handheld weapons are actually surgically integrated into their arm. Their right hand is essentially a gun. Their bioelectric activity powers their weapons so that enemy combatants cannot turn their own arms against them if they capture a dead alien soldier.
They also have no centralized nervous system, so shooting them in the “head” or damaging a nerve cluster won’t kill or incapacitate them outright. And their mostly gelatinous mass makes them able to absorb shockwaves that would kill a normal human being, and helps cushion their vital organ.
All in all, a very efficient killing machine
@@huydang5955 shush, these people can't comprehend that level of thought, lol
Because Biden left the border open.
That M249 needs to start singing, I want to see nothing but green mist lets go sanchez.
grenade into the pool was a nice touch
Yknow I read "2011" and thought, "Oh hey, thats pretty recent."
Then I realized 2011 was more than a decade ago. Holy fuck.
They're Marines, he wouldn't have yelled "Medic" he would have yelled "Corpsman!"
brilliant film, seen it many times, on the edge of my seat every time
Such an underrated gem, feels like what a Halo movie should be. Military Sci-Fi deserves love !
I love the Marine chatter. So immersive
1:53 I love that you can hear a faint fire alarm when the fire is shown
Director > We need to shake that camera to make it look real and hide the aliens
Cameraman > Sir, the camera can't take much more of this.
Director > YOU SHAKE THAT CAMERA! SHAKE IT LIKE A POLAROID PICTURE!
best video game movie without even being related to any video game
The dog was the smartest one of them all, he was trying to run from the ambush. He even tried to warn them but they just had to stay in position.
One of my favorite alien invasion movies. One where our current tech level has a chance if humanity fights hard enough.
Me fighting Automatons at Marfark for the first time.
One of the best movies filmed in Baton Rouge!!!
I honestly dont understand how the directors were able to depict such a normal day in LA and turn it into a movie. Well done
The aliens are so advanced they have the technology of interstellar travel, perhaps even intergalactic..... yet their guns are as primitive as ours. 😂
Humanity has long invented laser weapons, but even the most advanced army in the world still uses the primitive concept of a boomstick. Why? Probably because firearms are still quite effective. Arming every soldier with an energy weapon would not be economically feasible. That's why we fly into space, but we still explode gunpowder inside steel tubes. Most likely, the aliens from this film adhere to the same considerations. There is no need to use high-tech weapons to kill such a fragile creature as a human. It would be too expensive.
@@neongirl The most advanced weapons of war (and the ones used the most often) in modern combat aren't guns though. They are drones, radar guided missiles, smart bombs, tanks, fighter jets, etc. Bullet-firing guns will be outdated in next hundred years or so. Nanobots and smart viruses will be the weapons of the future.
"good enough" is working in aliens military too.
It's military grade 😅
Also they're body armor seems to be way better than ours, maybe they cared more about keeping their soldiers alive rather than killing
love this movie i wanna see them make more to show what was going on in the other major cities at the same time as what was going down in L.A. Soon i hope!
I still love this movie.
I like the both sides are equally armed, those aliens are marines too
Alien invaders, gun fights in the street.
Welcome to LA.
The amount of heavy breathing in this movie inadvertantly turned it into a comedy
Yes because no one would heavy breathe in these situations.
What the fuck would you do if it took 100+ shots of 308 rounds from multiple guns just to kill a single alien?🤣🤣🤣
@@WalterEKurtz-kp2jf Have you seen the movie? If you did, you can't honestly tell me you didn't laugh.
@@Wadiyatalkinabeet_ Use a bigger gun. Obviously.
One of my favorite movies…. Aliens figured their advanced technology and superior firepower would easily win them the planet, however, they just couldn’t prepare for fighting Marines.
0:40
One hour on our planet and already figured out that humans respond well to dogs and used this to get a squad to lower their weapons.
The cinematography is really good. It puts you in the action while not being too chaotic that you can't follow what's going on.
I love this movie. I don’t know what academy award winning crap people were expecting. We got soldiers vs. aliens and it was awesome.
What is so cool to me is this movie was filmed in-of- all places- Shreveport, Louisiana! I miss those days of following all the strange bright yellow signs all around Shreveport trying to figure out the codes- that are short-hand for the productions- for the folks behind the scenes. Almost every actor/actress you can name filmed SOMETHING-here post-Katrina. "The Guardian" with Costner was filmed here. "Whitehouse Down" was filmed here. Tom Cruise lived here for awhile while Katie Holmes filmed a movie. Costner supposedly LOVES the area and he has filmed three movies here. It was SO cool. I never ran into any stars but it was cool seeing the film crews all around town. It's truly amazing how many productions happened here before the tax incentives dried up. We are all intrigued to see what 50-Cent Jackson is gonna bring to our area after he established "G Unit" here. I've always heard besides the obvious financial incentives, Shreveport and the surrounding area are really a "blank canvas" for whatever the directors envision. "We" have been almost anything and anywhere you can imagine-and many I had a hard time believing! Lol. Being "Hollywood South" once was a really cool perk to living here. I'm hoping 50 brings back some of that vibe. It was new, exciting and different. I think folks might be a little impressed/surprised to see the list of movies and shows and all the actors who have been here. I know it's nothing special to many other common filming locales but it was THE NEWS here for over a decade. It was fun while it lasted. I drive by the house Sandra Bullock "lived" in for "Premonition" several times a day. It got REALLY exciting when the film crews would shut down neighborhood streets and the trucks and lights and all that popped up. Ah the memories...
And for the "haves" in this area the primary reason we have a Whole Foods was to placate the many "stars" and Hollywood-types who demanded one! 🤣 I've never been there yet but if Cheetos are over $5 bucks at WALMART I can't imagine how ridiculous Whole Foods pricing must be-especially in this insane economy. I'm in the upper-income level for what I do but I'll stick to good ole Wally World and Target. Lol
I just watched this a couple days ago. Great movie with a good story. Love Thomas Jane.
Literally just a vision of what life really in reality could be millions of years from now or now. 💯
Prob the best thing to ever happen to Los Angeles🤣
The gun sound effects are very nice.
6:50 alien uses gunpowder too... hmmm..
This and Aliens are my favorite military alien movies, well lets not forget Starship Troopers too.
So many great compliments & all of them dead nutz on.
such an amazing movie yet so underrated
I got some Black Hawk Down vibes from this movie. Def worth a rewatch.
Shit got so real, they even used metric instead of that playful odd-perial stuff.
The US military uses metric
Afaik the only metric they use is meters and klicks (kilometers)
These aliens have storm trooper aim
You would think all the gangs would put up a fight with drive-byes at a minimum
They would be too busy exploiting the situation, and the citizens. As always.
I have watched this movie more times than I care to admit. It was one I would watch during late night baby feedings. Fond, fond memories of it. No fuss. Just marines vs. aliens and it makes it feel about as scary as it actually probably would feel like.
Damn good movie. They should make more of them. The interaction between the marines is spot on.
Love this film. Kind of reminds me of District 9 a bit.
Let's move to a new position... Then scream at each other so the enemy knows our new position...
I love how these aliens have figured out space travel but for some reason still have ballistic weapons and impractical armor along with tactics similar to untrained rebel armies youd see in third world countries. Its like they are the rejects in space that nobody else takes serious so they decided to try and take over earth and still failed. lol
Who says they're the ones who figured it out? Maybe they are an alien version of a 3rd world terrorist group that hijacked it from the country or species that figured it out.
@@vshazamcope lord loves to LARP
The film was very “of the time” I agree it appeals to the military LARP bud wieser crowd. The plot and combat make no sense.
@@gwills9337 lazy cynic loves to whine 🤷♂️
You seem to forget that we have figured out space travel and still use broomsticks for the most part
Those goggles really could've come in handy
Se les vino arriba el ego tras Falujha.. 😂😂😂😂 munitions infinity yeeeeeeeeehhhhh..
I watch this movie at least a couple times. 👍
Alien in the alley, I know, I know it's serious.
It’s kind of crazy that this movie actually exists
One of my top three movies of all time
I liked this movie. I was hoping for a part 2
Did anyone research how to hold a god damn rifle at any point while filming this?
Hollywood: Lets make a movie where the Aliens are the bad guys!
Meanwhile the average human disagreement:
It's Los Angeles...... just let 'em keep it.
The videogame has the same vibe, I love this movie.
This movie and Arrival, I've always felt that out of all the alien invasion movies we've ever had, those 2 felt the most "realest."
This movie was exactly like the old CODMW except the aliens.
This is one of those movies that would've been better suited to be a video game.
They actually did make it into a video game but it was terrible lol
halo type beat
So Halo?
@@Wadiyatalkinabeet_ Halo except in the modern Era.
We got Helldivers
They really put a saving private Ryan scene in here😂
My favorite part of this entire clip was the Tide product placement
Its not the aliens that standout in the movie its the realistic tactics we see the human military using. I am not mil so I can just compare this to other movies but it looks very gritty and real.
Damn good film, hope to get a part 2 some day soon 👍
One of the Best movie i watched
