As an Army veteran I find great joy in seeing this.
I felt a great disturbance in the force almost as though thousands of marines felt severely dismayed 😂💀😭
Hahahaha, its amazing.
lol ya at lest i know what it was this time
Must have been for something different. Everyone knows that Marines can't read.
Straight up lol If you listen closely you can even hear a few loose crayons dropping
Being a veteran crayon eater, you are absolutely right. I popped a blood vessel on the title 😂
One of the fastest ways to piss off a Marine....calling them Army. What?!? Did you think I was talking about the movie?
To be fair a lot of civilians cannot tell the difference between army and Marines but that does not mean we respect them any less. We can still agree that each branch of the military kicks ass 🫡🫡🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@bman3794 Doesn't help that Marines have been inserted in the middle of bum fuck nowhere these past 3 decades.
That’s a compliment! What are you talking about
Faster way to piss off a marine, tell them the army went in first and screwed up the job that the marines have to clean up
One way to piss off an old Army soldier, calling Marines Army…
“Dear humanity. We regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret, the Corps just blew up our whole ragged fleet. Hoo-Rah!”
Ahh i see you re a man of culture aswell.
Regret is a name sergeant major a name of a covenant holy leader a prophet he's on that ship and he's calling for help
I say that line every time I play that game
Love Halo
That’s Right You Mothers.. Run!!
THIS definitely NEEDS a sequel! I need to know what happens in other countries with their militaries.
The aliens land near coastal cities, depending on their objective it would be either massive global invasion or localized strike to make a bridge-head on the planet, likely the America's would have the worst of it lot of countries with relatively small armies and slow mobilization capabilities and lots of coast, Europe would fare better mostly UK, Greece Spain and Italy would face the greater impact. Moving south Africa in general would face lot of trouble although there is alot of independent militias that could help the small standing armies around the continent. Middle East would be fine too much desert but decently big armies. Russia probs fine its unknown if how good these aliens deal with cold but judging by the dissecting scene having so much water inside on cold temps wouldn't be good. Asia Japan could see overwhelmed with threats all around but they got a capable modern army could even the field, China would be fine big coast but big af army aswell the south Asian states Malaysia Philippines etc would see trouble lots of places for the enemy to land and small not so well supplied armies. Inda would have to deal with several fronts but should be fine they got a decent armed force and lastly Australia new Zealand austria would find difficult to defend some parts of his territories but they also got a big desert as a shield to their backs, NZ would faces the worst of it.
@@user-ef9eq8dk4iBruh😂😂😂😂😂😂 they would nuke the earth in response to Hamas😂😂😂😂
we need to see what happens when the humans counterattack with air support and the aliens are uncoordinated and shocked. This means round 2 would be easier for the humans but that also leaves the question as to if the aliens did the same thing and got even more reinforcements. At the end of this movie you see roughly a company size of marines reinserting into los angeles from the hollywood side. With this being the case wed have to see how far the aliens made it, because they got considerably close if not past Dtla. If they got as far as dtla, the marines and army would have to cut through the main force in LA, just to get to cut them off from getting a considerably larger force getting past downtown. We need a sequel. This movie was a gem but has alot of unanswered questions.
@@user-ef9eq8dk4i shut y b a
I pretty much agree with your assessment.
It would seem that there is a resource need for the extraterrestrials attacking invasion. The possibility that water might be the resource as it seem to be the extra terrestrial soldiers circulatory fluid, and as a fluid used in the drones. But that wouldn't make much sense in that there's a lot easier sources of water in our solar system that would require a armed attack, such as the Jovian moon Io.
Pretty much the same goes for mineral resources to scatter around our Solar System's various asteroids and moons of the large planets.
So my interest in this movie is, what was the premise for the extraterrestrials to conduct an attacking invasion ?
Its crazy how they predicted how LA would look today. Crazy
😂
no
Yeah, I remember this coming out when I was in Afghanistan. Still enjoyable to watch . It answers the question of why we need a Space Force.
we most certainly aren't putting the navy's railguns on satellites. Nope. We sure aren't. that's just a rumor and hiiiiiiiiiiiiiighly illegal. 🤐
Lol
I thought this was the presentation for space force.
Watched this before deploying to Afghanistan lol
@@danielpickrell8311movie came out over 10 years ago. What’s funny?
You can tell the channel creator isn't from the US because we know differences between our Army and the Marines 😂

I think they are the National Guard

Too bad this movie got so much hate. It's pretty good.
It got a lot of hate? What were people complaining about?

@@TheCoolProfessor huh? I’m not being a troll, I’m genuinely curious..
@@John_Montefalco The reference was to the people who hated the movie.
I wanted a game on this lol. Too bad it came out bad.
This needs a spin off sequel. The overhead shot of fighting in the streets hits hard. Love to see the take around the world.
Damn this was one of those movies i hoped would get a sequal. Say what you want about the film and how unrealistic it was, it was just a great change of pace in the movie sceen.
Having boots on the ground with ailens attacking and seeming like all is lost until they discover how to kill the alien. Would really loved to see a second movie be released or the universe expanded upon.
Exactly, every alien movie is some stupid civilian plot or soemthing that’s been done a thousand times. It’s NEVER just the boots on ground fighting. This movie was awesome. Screw the hate
This and John Carter
General rule of combat. Just accept that you are already dead and that everything else is a bonus. That is how I looked at it.

@@mysterymayhem7020 Forget him man. Welcome home. USMC/USN 1975-84
As did those who landed in Normandy.
I really liked this movie. I liked the idea that the aliens were stronger but not invincible like in other movies. They could still be damaged by normal weapons. Just made the movie more interesting and realistic even though its about an alien invasion.
time flew past, can't belive this is already a 13 years old film
I can already hear those marines screaming in pain from being called the army
“Dear humanity, we regret being alien bastards, we regret coming to earth, and we most certainly regret the corps just blew up our raggedy ass fleet!”
-the most badass Marine of all time
Not army, they’re marines 🦅🌎⚓️
not a single army man in this lol
@@opinion56 I think he was pointing out on the title but yeah lmao, not a single soldier in this scene.
GAAAYYY!!
Gotta love how a Coast Guard 378’ is the first casualty of the invasion
They sure got those rifles quick. No armory line ride. 😅
I loved this movie before I became a Marine now I can't stop correcting it lol!
It's amazing how much red tape gets cleared away when it is not a drill
@@toddkes5890 like the "break in case of emergency" fire axes and such

Dropped their crayons and stared in silence as blood pressure rapidly increases
Any civilization which reaches the EARTH can crush us like nothing
logistics are a bitch.
Not exactly, columbus was able to reach america but it didnt mean they were invincible against the native americans
@@JJJR09 that's fair. But I would argue that it would be more like the modern USA stepping on an isolated Stone Age Island.
right? if they were able to master space travel then realistically no military in the world could stop them.
Being advanced in one field doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be advanced in another.
This aged well.
One of the best human vs alien movies in existence, best things about this movie is the fact actual marines was involved in making it going off what someone said on a previous video of these scenes, and how much destruction it showed
Imagine this being your first ever deployment… 💀
Sheesh
😂😅
Wouldn’t technically be a deployment
So what would you call it? @@CM-gj6ut

"gotta take me to dinner first" lol
was looking for this comment lol.
This was a surprisingly good movie when it came out. And it's still good now.
Meanwhile in Australia.......How did you defeat them?
WE USED BEER
COME ERE SO I CAN GLASS YA
Or they let the local wildlife be its usual self. Imagine if the aliens managed to suck up part of an Irukanji jellyfish into an organic water processor.
I like the radio comms in the chopper
"All stations this now, stations this net, stand by for sitrep. Enemy elements have advanced beyond the beach. Enemy units are still breaching out of the ocean. Enemy infantry outnumber us in the thousands, no final estimate. 1-0-1 Tank has been destroyed, companies behind defensive lines are falling back to form new lines. Be advised. They have heavy assault weapons. Firepower equal to high explosive rounds. We are not evacuating civilians fast enough, I say Again, we are not evacuating fast enough. All units be advised. There are Friendlies Behind. Enemy. Lines."
that tank top left at 6:51 shot 2 shells in like 2 seconds
that crew is godly
It was awfully nice of the pilots to have their flight path to give the audience and the Marines a look at the beach and city battle instead of, you know, getting them on the ground somewhere behind the front lines so they could actually make it into combat.
that's just movie logic at work
For what it's worth, we can see planes strafing the ground as the Chinooks fly in, so I guess there's an argument to be made that they were trying to keep the air corridor clear for CAS but dont fight me on that
They should have just called this "Recruitment Video." lol
"If those kids could read, they'd be very upset."
This REALLY needs a sequel. Like, 13 years of back and forth warfare, but the aliens can't move too far inland because of their water needs, giving us an untouchable production core and we whoop em
This wan't the Army, it was The Marines.....
It was actors
What's the difference?
2 completey different branchs of the military. @izuanwahab2096
Naw bro trust me, these guys are Army. If they were Marines, they’d be shouting “HOOYAH.”
@@PBurns-ng3gw and eating crayons
Something like this happen in real life, I'm pulling my cammies out of storage and getting to work.
I'm from Brazil, and love this movie so much, I bought the bluray. My favorite scenes it's on 5:33 in this cut, and the scene when Nants destroy the fly ship on gas station, that's really amazing
Trombley: "army, fuck that"
This is one of the most interesting and unique movies to have ever come out. Yeah, alien invasion. Big whoop. But it's how they operate and the tone in which they do it. Almost as if the human race was fighting a reflection of themselves.
They attacked a major coastal point through essentially an amphibious landing and created a beachhead for more forces. They systematically set up ambushes for counterattack efforts and pushed inland with a shock and awe tactic. Was shown to both drag the wounded away as well as having some kind of leadership structure. They even set up command and control points much like a human military. Their weapons didn't seem too crazy like other alien movies with lasers that wipe out entire cities or laser guns that instantly disintegrate whatever it hits. They don't seem too dissimilar from conventional human weapons but are still different enough. They also employ various weapons based on the situation, such as that heavy cannon thing on the bridge as well as drones as like a support and air superiority craft. They also seem to know when they've lost a fight, such as the final battle where the ragtag unit destroyed the command and control center and the aliens retreat.
The writers should have made him a Master Sergeant not Staff
Happy New year everyone
I disliked the treatment staff, Sargent Nance received.
His squad got wiped out and he wished he could trade places with them.
The fact he didn't once lose his composure and snap says a lot about his character.
This movie needs a TV-show each episode or season showing what is happening around the world.
Maybe a UN vs Aliens around the world.
You will be seeing that in real life pretty soon. Dont fall for it.
we need jeff goldblum to send them a windows 95 virus
Would be a short series. There’s like a dozen countries with a sizable modern military force, let alone with any combat experience.
Just imagine Russia-Ukraine , Israel-Hamas , N.Korea-S.Korea troops working together to fight off the Aliens
@@rhymstel Thats why they will fake an alien invasion, to jnite the world into a one world govt headed hy the anti christ
Man, the Marines seeing this would be awfully mad if they could read
lol
I really liked this movie. One of the few that got the "ranks" right. A lot of stupid hollywood flicks have full bird colonels and MSgts+ going combat roles where you normally have E1-E4s. Here you have a 1stLt and a SSgt leading the platoon in this movie which is much more realistic.
Marines……I’m not even a marine, just an Army Airborne guy and it pisses me off for them, they earned that title.
"Yo, what's your take on this, Specs" "Idk, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." Come on, man, us Canadians aren't that weird.
Watched this movie with my dad back in late-March 2011. I still love it
God bless those marines soldiers
Don't forget them airmen sailors too!
Don't ever tell a marine they are soldiers, they're not gonna like that
@@revolcane hooah marine
@@revolcanebut they are soldiers
@@revolcanewell more like water soldiers
Marines losing their mind on the vid title lol. All kidding aside, as a former Army brat myself, we (esp hollywood) gotta learn to distinguish a soldier and a marine. They may eat crayons as snacks, but they really have long earned the recognition and respect they deserve. SemperFi bad mofos.
If they wanted ocean water they could have just asked . . .
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE HOPEFULLY 2024 WILL BE ANOTHER HAPPY YEAR FOR ALL OF US. 🎉🎉🎉
Yes we had a bad year cost for living crisis in the UK and around the world
Happy New Year, sir.
@@davidgapuzan848 you too mate
Such an underrated movie...
The Army leads the way!!!
Spacefaring Civilization but the first think they do is Get on The Ground
😂
So this movie actually has a lot of book lore behind it. Long story short aliens get their asses kicked. They lacked air superiority and as scary as they seem on TV that in reality is like 1/3 of their forces in total it was only something like 1 million soldiers. They were running from a bigger bad guy but even then the bigger bad guy was probably only about earth level military wise.
Source please
actually the "bigger bad guy" wasnt bad
the invaders are a xenophobic fanatical faction of their race that lost a civil war to a a more moderate and non-genocidal
so the space nazis came crashing down to earth after getting their shit kicked by their peers,and then got their kicked shit again

Like how this entire scene of Humans vs Aliens in total contact was All Marines. No airforce, army or anything. All marine aircraft and troops. They were on the ground and in the air engaging long before other branches
You must not have heard them mention the National Guard then
@@user-vr8wl3re2k I did, but I was talking about on screen action to be exact
Later in the movie airman showed up did you miss that?
@@seriousw361 no I was talking about this particular scene
@KingAsa5 yeah but Coast Guard is in it briefly too. Their Cutters were getting destroyed.
'Army'
Marines: Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I thought this film looked super dumb when the previews came out. Think I caught it on tv a few years after it left theaters. Man I was wrong, very entertaining, pretty good military movie.
God Bless The Army! 🥹🫡😂
Surprisingly a good movie.
Battle LA was a decent action movie, better than some of those exclusive Netflix steam only movies. It got a lot of hate from your typical movie reviewers influencers.
Damn, it's Harvey Dent and Will Trent!
This is one of my Top 3 to almost Top 2, most favorite Military Movies of all time, this movie in theaters feelt so freaking real that it also feelt like you were in there, it was well made a great written and I love how they show the Aliens being a huge threat to humanity and Marines shown to be the GOATS warriors in our United Nations.
Marine Strong🪖🫡🇺🇲
Every Marine right now :🗿
We need more movies like this !
Loved this movie when it came out
War of the Worlds battle in the field was the best alien vs military scene in history.
Super
The combat scenses and communications are better than some military movies made today for sure
Really fun movie pluss well shot & acted.
This movie was really nice. And to be honest very realistic compared to 99% percent of other alien movies.
- the aliens had a similar body design to us but not completely the same. A fact which is expected by many experts who try to figure out, who other species could look like and why
- the aliens have a higher level of technology but without attacking with the total crazy fancy kinda super weapons / energy shield and so on stuff
- the way how they attack, how they build up logistics, how they use earth ressources
- the way How they hide their communication systems and how they use it
- how they use their soldiers combined with drones to get control and minimize the loss of soldiers
- they switch between pushing and fall back if it seems to be the better option
- the weapons they use are similar to ours as well
So for me it has the right balance between there is a species which is attacking (maybe because they have no other options) and is ahead of humans regarding technology but without being "unbeatable".
A second movie/sequel whatever would be sooo fucking nice. Maybe with some information from where do they come from.
The take me to dinner first that no one noticed though lol
Sad to say most of these men never make it back. But I give them heart for their courage!
This movie wasn't really about the aliens...it was about the Marines.
Aliens does not care. This movie is to scare the aliens away... 😂
Love this movie, the most realistic approach to how the armed forces to a exterrestial invasion
I bet the aliens are like color blind in those movies... They fail to see the rest of the planet. 🤪🤪🤪
it wasn't the ARMY, but the MARINES
Such an under rated movie
I really dont like how they can hate a survivor in one mission that went all kinds of wrong. That guy is already racked with survivor's guilt.
In this situation if I were hit by these aliens my last words would be tell my family I’ll be okay as I am holding the person that is next to me hand
🗣️CANADA MENTIONED RAAHHHH🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
before he was elected to office, harvey dent was a marine. oo-rah, semper fi. all that.
Then he went on to be Sully’s co-Pilot.
Haha yeah go Army!!! Semper fi!!!! Oorah!
This is a very underrated movie!
Every US Marine is about to lose their **** over the title of this video alone!
Hey...(whispers)...I think we're about to start battling the aliens! 🤠👀
This movie is so dope
They are not Army, they are Marines. Are you trying to start a war?
Man i wish they could do more movies like this one
02:39 thats straight up NUKE time
Wow the aliens in their superior wisdom traveled light years to get here and land and opted for a beach assault. How fuckin lame.
This was a fun movie
Excellent ❤️ 🥰
Honestly not a bad representation of the USMC from Hollywood.
The fact that the uniforms weren't all fucked up, they addressed superiors by rank and they were all clean shaven is a win in my book.
Yea there's the typical "tough guy" bullshit, and a cpl mouthing off to a SSG, but it's not over the top either like in much of Hollywood's other garbage that features our military.
Also bonus points for none of them having headgear on inside lol.
They must've had input from some1 who actually served (for once).
All the Pendleton and Santa Monica Airport ramp and hangar scenes were all shot inside the flightline of Barksdale AFB. A lot of those “Marines” you see in the background were probably off-duty Airmen. Dress and Appearance regulations aren’t that much different when everybody has to be in combat fatigues and not service uniforms. Wardrobe Dept can just base uniform sets of a template and the Airman just has to put it on.
No Marine Lt EVER told his platoon sergeant “This is my platoon. We gonna have a problem?” Because right then they WOULD have a problem. No Marine is going to listen to the hired help before they listen to their platoon daddy.
