Battle: Los Angeles (2011)

Who you gonna call? The Marines!
When the world is invaded by menacing aliens, human beings fight back.  Well, the military fights back.  A platoon of US Marines are tasked to enter an alien occupied zone in LA, secure a police station and rescue any civilians before a massive air strike levels the city.  The first 10 - 15 minutes are slow but serve to set up the action.  And once the action gets started, it doesn't stop.  Although is descends briefly into cliches and sometimes feels like a recruitment film for the US military, Battle: Los Angeles is nonetheless a solid action film. 

Battle: Los Angeles fights its way to 3 out of 5 Poblanos!
