This video is me giving an ending spoiler for the movie The video is just me talking about how it ends. No video or photos from the movie are used.

Here is the spoiler written out, so you can follow along:


The alien ground forces have no apparent air support, as the Air Force prepares to carpet bomb the Santa Monica area. The platoon is tasked with rescuing civilians from an LAPD police station in West Los Angeles before the bombing. As they advance through the city, they are ambushed and suffer casualties. They team up with a group of Army National Guard soldiers from the 40th Infantry Division, and an Air Force intelligence TSgt. Elena Santos (Michelle Rodriguez). At the police station, the platoon finds five civilians; veterinarian Michele (Bridget Moynahan), children Hector Rincon (Bryce Cass), Kirsten (Joey King), Amy (Jadin Gould), and Hector's father Joe (Michael Peña). A helicopter arrives to evacuate the wounded Marines, but cannot rescue the civilians due to weight restrictions. As the helicopter takes off, it is destroyed by an alien aircraft collision.[4]

The Marines commandeer a city bus for evacuation. They also vivisect a wounded alien, and with the help of Michele, find a vulnerable spot in its torso. They also learn that the alien aircraft are remote-controlled drones that track human radio transmissions. Santos reveals that her original mission was to locate the aliens' central command center, believing that its destruction would deactivate the drones. On the I-10 freeway, the bus comes under attack. Because the off-ramp is destroyed, the Marines rappel the civilians off the freeway. Marines Stavrou (Gino Anthony Pesi) and Mottola (James Hiroyuki Liao) and several others are killed, while Rincon and Lt. Martinez are wounded. Martinez sacrifices himself to destroy the enemy unit by detonating explosives inside the bus, leaving Nantz in command. The surviving Marines and civilians escape the bombing zone. A news report speculates that the aliens are seeking Earth's water while attempting to colonize the planet and eradicate humans. The team waits for the bombing, but nothing happens. At the airport, the Marines learn that the aliens destroyed the FOB and the military is retreating from Los Angeles. Echo Company plans to escort the civilians to an alternative extraction point. Before they leave, Rincon dies from his wounds, but the company later reach the evacuation spot.[4]

In midair, their chopper experiences a brief loss of power. Nantz theorizes that they are hovering over a location occupied by the alien command center as it relays radio energy to its drones. He decides to recon the area alone, but his team insists on accompanying him. Underground, the Marines confirm the presence of a large alien vessel and return to the surface. Kerns radios in to request missiles, but is killed after sending the transmission. Nantz pinpoints the fired missiles via a laser designator towards the command module, which later crashes in a direct hit. The alien ground forces retreat, as their uncontrolled drones fall to the ground helpless. At a Marines base, Nantz's team is greeted as heroes for their bravery. Despite orders to rest, Nantz's team rejoin the rest of the Marines in retaking Los Angeles as other countries wage similar military operations against the hostile species.
