Los Angeles and other cities around the world are being bombarded by meteors that seem to be slowing down once they hit the earth's atmosphere. The earth is suddenly being invaded by space aliens that have landed off the shore of LA, and who begin killing everybody along the beach. The military is ordered into action. Marine Staff Sergeant Nantz (Aaron Eckhart), who was about to retire, is reassigned to a new platoon. The platoon, flown by chopper to the forward operating base at Santa Monica Airport, is being led by a new 2nd Lt. Martinez (Ramon Rodriguez). They are sent on a mission to rescue some civilians who are trapped at the police station within alien territory. They only have 3 hours to complete their mission and get out before the Air Force bombs that zone.
TWiZTED seem to be the only group left doing DVDRs?
This is an odd one. The video has been re-encoded (not that you'd notice) and all extras stripped yet the English audio descriptive and French 5.1 audio tracks have been left intact! It's a strange choice to make especially as the Spanish audio has been deleted as well. That issue aside, everything which was left in worked perfectly.
The movie - about a small group of Marines who defeat an entire Alien invasion - is a great thrill ride, as long you accept it at face value. It's also makes great demo material for showing off a new A-V system..
Was lucky to find this when I did. Had 4.3GB of paid downloads left with just a few hours to go until they expired. So it was either this or 'Sucker Punch' and I think I made the right choice.
