Yahoo has released this gripping, action packed trailer for Battle: Los Angeles. In the last few years many of the Sci Fi/Action movies had advertising campaign that were better than the actual movie, fingers crossed this won’t follow that trend and it will be as good as the Trailer or better! 

The theatrical trailer for Jonathan Liebesman’s Battle: Los Angeles is an alien invasion story presented as an intense present-day war movie, seen from the perspective of a group of Marines. We are expecting some amazing special effects – When unknown forces put the City of Angels under attack, it’s up to a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon to come to the rescue. As the invasion hits the streets of L.A., the Marines become our first and last line of defence against a highly powerful enemy. Bridget Moynahan (I, Robot), Michelle Rodriguez (Avatar) and Michael Peña (World Trade Centre) co-star alongside an ensemble cast including Ramon Rodriguez and Ne-Yo.

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.

Battle: Los Angeles hits theaters March 11, 2011.
