Could this be the invasion movie we have been waiting for since Independence Day? Battle: Los Angeles, directed by Jonathan Liebesman, takes us into a conspiracy theory of dates and speculations of alien sightings that could be leading up to this final battle… within Los Angeles. Battle: LA stars Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, Ramon Rodriguez, Bridget Moynahan, Ne-Yo, and Michael Peña. View the funtastic trailer after the break!

Monster / alien movies might be the growing trend once wizards and vampires leave the scene – which is unlikely – but with films like Area 51, Super 8, Skyline, Paul, an untitled Alien prequel, Cowboys and Aliens, Transformers: DOTM, and I Am Number Four, invasion movies seem to be the “in” thing right now. I am crossing my fingers for Mars Attacks 2.

Battle: Los Angeles looks really intense. However that’s what I said when I saw the teaser trailer for Skyline. After showing a full trailer with its ridiculous CGI, my opinion changed. Battle: Los Angeles looks really great, so I pray I am not let down. This trailer feels like what we would obtain if we were to receive a sequel to District 9 mixed with a badass Terminator vibe. Check out the trailer below:

The synopsis and an HD trailer can be found at Apple:

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 (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they’ve ever encountered before.
