So far all of the trailers and TV spots we’ve seen for BATTLE: LOS ANGELES have given us brief tastes of what to expect from the rather intense-looking action. Yahoo posted a clip today that gives us an idea of what some of those inevitable battle scenes are going to be like – and it’s pretty cool. The film stars Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, Bridget Moynahan and Michael Peña, and is written by Christopher Bertolini (THE GENERAL’S DAUGHTER). Liebesman’s previous film work includes THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING and DARKNESS FALLS. The trailer is below, and is helping to make this one of my most-anticipated films of 2011. Take a look for yourself and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Here’s the official synopsis from Sony Pictures:
When unknown forces suddenly and mercilessly attack the City of Angels out of nowhere, it’s up to a local Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and a new platoon of unseasoned soldiers to meet the threat. As the invasion hits the streets of LA, these Marines become our first and last line of defense in an intense battle against an enemy unlike any they’ve ever encountered before.

This first clip (from IGN) shows the armed forces heading into the thick of it, giving an idea of the film’s mood.

The second clip shows our heroes getting attacked… man, this looks awesome.
