Not so long ago, a movie called Battle: Los Angeles hit the big screens. On the surface, it’s a simple enough story. Aliens invade Earth, because they want our liquid water. The plot follows a unit of Marines sent in to evacuate some survivors that are trapped behind enemy lines in Santa Monica, before the Air Force pounds the entire area with enough ordinance to wipe it completely off the map. The men being sent in aren’t heroes. They’re Marines, they’ve been given their orders, and they’ve got a job to do, so they go. Simple, right?
