I've seen this a few times, first time in theater and every time I feel like they nail the dynamic of what it would be like to be a Marine in an impossible situation surrounded only by your fellow Marines. I think the movie is genius really, blending seamlessly with other war films while also making it entertaining with the whole alien invasion thing. I think its a solid movie with heartfelt moments and Aaron Eckhart is undoubtedly the star of the show and really carries the movie. I would be remiss if I did not mention that my longtime idol Ne-Yo is in the movie and he gives a perfectly acceptable performance and a bit impressive considering he comes from a music background.
All in all, I think its a solid war movie while also being one of the best alien invasion movies as well. I give it a 7/10.
