We are weeks away from enjoying this year’s alien invasion piece and the first two clips from Jonathan Liebesman’s Battle: Los Angeles have surfaced and they look pretty much as you’d expect them to.

Reaction to the sneak peeks we’ve seen so far has been genuinely positive and these new clips give us an idea of the close quarters fighting we’ll see alongside the epic sky battlers which have taken up so much trailer time. Certainly looks more like Black Hawk Down than Independence Day, and this is a good thing.

Nose to the ground, synopsis hounds,

When unknown forces put the City of Angels under attack, it’s up to a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon to come to the rescue.  As the invasion hits the streets of L.A., the Marines become our first and last line of defense against a highly powerful enemy.

These two clips come to us from Coming Soon, so there.
