    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The APC's are made by Tatra in The Czech Republic. Tatra uses a unique center still frame with the springs running across the body of the vehicle, rather than front to rear. You can clearly see the unusual result of that suspension at the 25 minute mark when the APC stops.
    • Goofs
      When the general briefs Mark Clyne at the beginning at the film, he mentions that insurgents are in the north near the border with Russia. Moldova has no borders with Russia, it borders Ukraine in the north.
    • Quotes

      Clyne: I think you're reaching.

      Fran Madison: Our business requires us to make suppositions.

      Clyne: My business requires us to prove them. Your technician's job is to find glitches, so, he sees glitches. Your job is to find the enemy, so, you see the enemy. Locals believe in spirits, so they see spirits. Everyone is biased in one way or another. So, my answer to you right now is that we lack data to support any theory.

    I was SO ENTERTAINED by this!! Awesome!
    'Spectral' has all the trademarks of an alien invasion movie, but this 'Battle: Los Angeles' meets 'The Darkest Hour' film is actually not an alien movie. This is a movie about a science experiment gone wrong.

    I enjoyed the simplicity of the film. There's no twists, no frills, no complicated issues. This is a simple story about soldiers in a predicament and trying to stay alive against all odds as they face an 'invisible' enemy. The visual effects are awesome! It is a good script with great dialogue. This spectacular fantasy action film. is fast-paced, action-packed, suspenseful and unpredictable. It also has the added bonus of very good acting from a veteran cast.

    The visuals never ceased to amaze me; it is simply out of this world. This was an incredibly entertaining film. Just wow, wow, wow!
