The Army Gets Ready to Fight the Aliens | Battle Los Angeles (2011) | Now Playing
As a former Army guy 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 😂
“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 ?
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…
Its crazy how they predicted how LA would look today. Crazy
😂
no
No one told this guy about The Franchise Wars of 93. They don’t even use toilet paper there anymore.
Also due to alien invasion!

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?
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
You can tell the channel creator isn't from the US because we know differences between our Army and the Marines 😂
True
I think they are the National Guard
@bekicot88 You cant be serious
@@bekicot88 ah yes the national guard definitely does wear desert mccuus
@@bekicot88and they definitely have marine corps patches on their vests
This needs a spin off sequel. The overhead shot of fighting in the streets hits hard. Love to see the take around the world.
Man, the Marines seeing this would be awfully mad if they could read
lol
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.
Meanwhile the real aliens have been crossing the southern border in the thousands. Best to prepare for the worst just in case.
time flew past, can't belive this is already a 13 years old film
I saw it on the TNT channel. I loved it from start to finish. And the guy who did that guy from "The Core" was in this movie. And the guy who did Leo from "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" was in this too.
13 years and no sequel. A travesty.
that tank top left at 6:51 shot 2 shells in like 2 seconds
that crew is godly
That loader is on his 7th can of monster and God has to see him.

Dropped their crayons and stared in silence as blood pressure rapidly increases

-the most badass Marine of all time
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
My favorite part of every alien/zombie/robot takeover movie is when the disaster begins and the news is breaking and everyone is scared and confused. I actually enjoy that part more than the combat sequences, themselves.
Those parts feel the most real. Panic is contagious
@@spectreagent00 I guess that's why I like them. By contrast, combat scenes feel over the top. I think that's because by the time the protagonists fight, they've already gained experience with whatever it is that caused the disaster, so the director takes liberties in turning them into superheroes, doing things that people wouldn't normally do. On the other hand, panic scenes feel more like something an ordinary person would go through, so they're more immersive and take you in.
@@abstract5249heck yeah that why i love WAR OF THE WORLDS
@@torianlewis1807 This. I also love Arrival. It's not a disaster movie, but the first 20 minutes show the world's initial reaction to aliens, while the rest of the film continues to show its various reactions over time.
Same with the movie Contact. I just love films that show the more human and realistic parts of science fiction.
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.
I can already hear those marines screaming in pain from being called the army
it burrrnnnzzzz
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."
This was a surprisingly good movie when it came out. And it's still good now.
This aged well.
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
I can’t be the only one rewinding and trying to see the chaos at 6:52 right. Just so much havoc and seeing the tanks role up next to the civilians trying to leave is so depressing and heroic at the same time.
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
I definitely have always thought it was one of if not the best, I particularly appreciated how it didnt portray the aliens as completely unstoppable in every field of battle, they were definitely very powerful but it still seemed like a realistically even fight
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.
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.
If a movie needed a sequel, it's this one this.
"From Canada" Americans just love to roast their Canadian neighbors don't they.
0:45 You can see a bit of James Cameron's Aliens reference here. Marines being cocky before the fight, thinking they're bad ass and totally invincible, then when shits starts getting real and they realize they're way out of their elements.
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.
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
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.
The writers should have made him a Master Sergeant not Staff

@@davidgapuzan848 you too mate
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.
Their attention to detail with the uniforms was pretty damn good
I watched this movie countless times. I love it
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

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

Something like this happen in real life, I'm pulling my cammies out of storage and getting to work.
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.
Love this movie, the most realistic approach to how the armed forces to a exterrestial invasion
The Army leads the way!!!
Good thing the Lt. has been training for combat.
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
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 Army? Those are not the Army, they are MARINES! Marines and Army are NOT the same thing, so get it right there genius.
Such an underrated movie...
Happy New year everyone
I still love this movie.
"If those kids could read, they'd be very upset."
If they wanted ocean water they could have just asked . . .
Sad to say most of these men never make it back. But I give them heart for their courage!
Watched this movie with my dad back in late-March 2011. I still love it
I miss when they used to make movies like this. Now we have Marvels and Madame Web...
the most realistic space attack movie of all time.
Marines……I’m not even a marine, just an Army Airborne guy and it pisses me off for them, they earned that title.
The USA must be looking HUGE from space because it's always the place where aliens goes
The USA is tidally locked to any outside perspective, you have to enter atmosphere before you can find other continents.
🗣️CANADA MENTIONED RAAHHHH🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This movie could of been so much more, underrated flick, deserves a part 2
This is what Marines can do when you take away the crayons and energy drinks.

This movie was SO badass when my friends and I saw it in jr high. I remember we got out of the theater so amped to go fight aliens XD
This needed so hard to be an entire saga around the world, hopefully we get to see it

Goddammit you were so close.
Nobody says “Force Protection Condition Delta,” despite what the Ops Manuals say.
Tbh me and the boys felt this excited too when finding out we were deploying.
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
2:03 Hamilton Class USCG Cutters?
Yeah, 378 high endurance
Very under rated movie
The combat scenses and communications are better than some military movies made today for sure
War of the Worlds battle in the field was the best alien vs military scene in history.
This movie definitely needs a sequel and I always thought it would have made a great game the missions of taking a fortifying Los Angeles and then take me back other parts of the world would have been a perfect game
Trombley: "army, fuck that"
I binged the film on Netflix! We need a sequel!
I never noticed they used actual armory procedures to draw weapons, for a change. Instead of the "everybody run by the rack and grab a random weapon" you usually see. Kudos!
Marines not Army
US Army Marines FTW
Booyah!
Sender Fido!
I know I sound like Karen, but it makes me upset on how alot of Americans can't tell the difference between military Branches. Brother did one tour in Afghanistan and when he came home from his first deployment he told me Americans don't know anything about their own military. He was in the Marines in his uniform and Civilians would thanks for serving in the Army like wtf?
@@raven1462 Average citizens have no knowledge of units or uniforms and other things that are trivial to them and important to others.
The same way they see a hospital worker in scrubs and assume they're a nurse. There's nothing wrong with it, really. You can't expect someone to be knowledgeable of all things.
Alright
i came straight for the comments. fellow Marines didnt let me down
I love this movie
How quickly the word would suddenly be all on the same team would be damn inspiring. Title is funny though, haha.
Got to give those aliens props for having some massively big balls to land right in the middle of the biggest west coast city and just railing everything in sight.
The trailer for this movie definitely set a different tone but still a decent movie altogether
What ppl forgets is that this how an insertion under fire is like,eather U get hit going up or down.
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🪖🫡🇺🇲
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.
