Battle of Los Angeles

Battle of Los Angeles (2011) is a sci-fi action movie you can watch online on iFILM. Director Mark Atkins riffs on a strange wartime footnote — the night in February 1942 when anti-aircraft guns shelled the sky over the city and never found a target. Seventy years on, the gunners finally have something to shoot at: ships dropping over the world's biggest cities.

A Marine unit gets the order to clear the streets and pull survivors out before the city falls. Kel Mitchell and Nia Peeples lead a cast built for momentum rather than marquee names. This is low-budget invasion cinema from The Asylum — fast, loud and unfussy, made for anyone who wants aliens and rubble without waiting for the big-studio version.
