Movies that feel likeBattle: Los Angeles (2011)

When once distant UFOs become a terrifying threat and an alien invasion force begins attacking Earths major costal and riverside cities, a U.S Marine staff sergeant and his team are sent into battle only to find they must take it upon themselves to defeat an unknown enemy and protect what remains of Los Angeles.

If you loved Battle: Los Angeles, the closest films we have are Krrish (2006), Superman Returns (2006) and Lucy (2014). All three share Battle: Los Angeles' cerebral and kinetic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Warriors of Future (2022).

Action with a pulse of momentum, in both cases
