Stars: Jesse Richardson, Ellen Williams, Michael Thomson, James Storer, Leigh Walker, Darrell Plumridge, Samuel Peacock, Katie Anderson | Written and Directed by Michael Miller
Obviously inspired by Independence Day and Pacific Rim, and no doubt released now to cash-in on the subsequent sequel which is coming very soon, Battalion is a low-budget sci-fi action flick from Australia that feels for all intents and purposes like a mockbuster from The Asylum…
Battalion sees Earth invaded and a devastating attack launched on Los Angeles by an army of machines from a parallel universe. This – of course – sparks a massive world war, which in turn leads to Californian surfer John Blake joining up with the Us Marines to head across the Pacific to join the fight against the machines in Australia… Why? Well the budget didn’t stretch to an overseas filming trip probably.
I jest of course, but that is the major issue with Battalion.
