Thunderous alien invasion movie Battle: Los Angeles arrives on Blu-ray.

And as far as the plot goes, well, thats about it, really.

Because, it has to be said, the characters certainly wont keep you interested.

3 stars

Here we have possibly the most generic group of stock soldiers ever committed to celluloid.

Worse than that, characters appear to have been stolen wholesale from other films.

Some members of the squad dont trust Eckhart at the beginning of the film.

Others talk about seeing their sweethearts when they get home.

Can you guess what happens?

Its the action itself thats the star here, not the actors or plot.

That the film fails on most levels isnt important.

Its total fluff, but so is candy floss.

And as part of a balanced diet, candy floss is lovely, isnt it?

3 stars

The picture quality, at 1080p, as you might imagine, is superb.

Every bullet whips by with a ferocious zip, and explosions are felt right in the diaphragm.

If only there was a way to turn off the incidental music.
