Sgt. Major: At fourteen forty six pacific standard time, twelve different locations across the globe were breached in what appears to have been a coordinated attack by an unknown enemy. This is a textbook military invasion. We are the last offensive force on the west coast. We cannot lose Los Angeles.

As Nantz takes cover behind a car at the gas station, a billboard for Resistance 3 is seen in the background, showing a release date of "Holiday 2010." However, the story of Battle LA takes place in mid-August 2011. Also, Resistance 3 is slated to release in early September 2011. [The film was shot in late 2009 with the game release date 'tentatively' shown for the following year. Yes the film is set in 2011 however old game/movie posters can still exist on billboards. There is a billboard down the road from me that has a (depleted) movie poster for the movie Armageddon which was released in 1997. I can list numerous games that were not released on the initial release date.]

The aliens are attacking Earth because it's the only planet with water in a liquid state. In other words, the aliens are capable of interstellar travel but aren't smart enough to melt a block of ice from somewhere else. [They use the water as fuel. Melting the ice would require fuel. See the dilemma? Besides, perhaps they ARE mining ice elsewhere. But they learn of Earth, and it's ready supply of liquid water, and decide the opportunity is too good to pass up.]

Near the end of the film when the soldiers are using the laser targeting device, they often show the back to the prop to reveal all the audio inputs on the back of it, showing that it is just a video projector painted black. [It has a scope and a numerical keypad entry pad at the back as well. I've never seen a projector that has these. AND it wasn't black, it was camouflage green.]
