With intentions of this one being a launching pad for an entirely new series of films on the "great apes taking over the planet" theory, director Rupert Wyatt along with producer and screen writer Rick Jaffa hope to see fans follow along to make this concept as big a hit.Sci-fi films with an unusual theme such as this can usually count on plenty of audience enthusiasm and as this one deals with attempting a cure for Alzheimer's it is current and relevant to what's going on around us. James Franco (Pineapple Express, 127 Hours) plays a scientist who uses apes to attempt finding a cure for Alzheimer's disease and when problems arise with one of his apes called Caesar, he simply takes the ape home with him to keep the evil lab doctors from interfering. Seems as if Caesar (played by Andy Serkis from the Lord of the Rings trilogy) has begun mutating quite rapidly and that's never a good sign as he'll soon begin leading a revolt of the apes."Also starring John Lithgow (of the Shrek series and Harry and the Hendersons), Chelah Horsdal (Marley & Me), Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire) and David Hewlett (The whistleblower, Stargate: Atlantis)."

It has been scary enough to hear of UFO sightings around the globe. Places like China, Germany, France, and even Buenos Aires have all reported evidence that some form of unidentified objects have been seen flying about. In Battle: Los Angeles we find some of these sightings have been documented by trustworthy and qualified people while others are merely random visions offered by "questionable" sources. However now they are beginning to be reported in the U.S. and particularly in the Los Angeles area. This becomes terrifying when the Earth is attacked by forces that are unknown and often unseen. In 2011 the fictional fantasy plays against reality and when LA becomes mankind's last chance to take a stand against alien forces we see a Marine sergeant (played by Aaron Eckhart) leading a platoon and taking on an enemy more powerful and threatening than they have ever been forced to encounter. As large cities fall to the enemy around the world how can a small band of U.S. Marines prevail? Battle: Los Angeles the movie gives UFO sightings an entirely new slant.
