Synopsis

When mankind beams a radio signal into space, a reply comes from ‘Planet G’, in the form of several alien crafts that splash down in the waters off Hawaii. Lieutenant Alex Hopper is a weapons officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones, part of an international naval coalition which becomes the world's last hope for survival as they engage the hostile alien force of unimaginable strength. While taking on the invaders, Hopper must also try to live up to the potential that his brother, and his fiancée's father—an Admiral—expect of him.

Alicia I love this movie so much
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
benjaminweber Probably the best place to start with this film is by noting it is a sci-fi action film based on a board game that can be played with two bits of paper. Sounds really exciting, right? But it gets better, with the actual gameplay mechanic being used in during one of the naval battles! This film has the level of quality you'd expect from a film based on a game that originated in the 1930s. The characters are one dimensional and the plot is stupid. The cast can all act, but the writers deprived them of anything to work with. The cinematographer overuses lens flares to the point they become distracting. The villains are never properly developed, they just attack, but only sometimes, and have seemingly no motivation other than being hostile invaders.The whole thing comes across as something that was written as a joke, but was somehow made. Definitely watch if you like bad films! 2/10
tuckfinite I confess that I haven't actually watched this movie. I've only seen snippets while channel surfing. Now we all know(at some level)these films are fraudulent. They're really about indulging desires to vicariously experience violence, destruction, turmoil. Perhaps it's cathartic for some, perhaps something else for others. The fig leaves of virtue don't really fool anyone. Especially with the quantity and excesses of these films. Now I'm not a big fan of CCR or the song Fortunate Son, but using an anti-war song to promote this trash? OK, so you don't respect audiences, art, other performers. By why do you need to besmirch a legitimate and sincere moral viewpoint. If you disagree at least have enough courage and respect for yourself to do it openly. It's been amply demonstrated there are innumerable ways to corrupt and debase through mass media. So nothings off the table? Are films being checked for subliminal imaging? I know there have been some cases in the past.

jviramontez Not sure why people were so hard on this film... I've watched this a half dozen times and thoroughly enjoyed it each and every time.Sure, it's no academy award, but it's an incredibly exciting sci-fi romp, which keeps turning up the heat...
