Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's right-leaning rating stems from its uncritical glorification of military action, duty, and patriotism as the primary solution to an existential alien threat, reinforcing traditional conservative values of national defense.
Battle Los Angeles features a visibly diverse ensemble cast within its military unit, reflecting a range of racial backgrounds. However, the narrative primarily focuses on traditional heroic archetypes, particularly a white male protagonist, without engaging in explicit DEI themes or critiques of traditional identities.
Secondary
Battle Los Angeles is a science fiction action film centered on an alien invasion and the military's efforts to repel it. The narrative does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate within the film's scope.
The film features Tech Sergeant Elena Santos, who is a capable soldier engaging in combat against alien invaders. Her victories are achieved through the use of firearms. There are no scenes depicting any female character defeating one or more male opponents in direct physical combat, such as hand-to-hand or melee weapon fights.
Battle Los Angeles is an original science fiction film featuring characters created specifically for this movie. There are no pre-existing characters from source material, prior installments, or history whose gender could have been altered.
