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.

I wasn't expecting much from this film after reading many negative reviews however i was presently surprised. Not the best acting, not the best story but some decent action and that's what a film like this is all about
Every time an entity plays the self-glorification game; I feel aversion. Even if I were an American, I would dislike it. I don't mind a pro-navy movie, but if they can't stop bragging about themselves, things go downhill for me. The film could be so much more powerful if they didn't do that.
I liked this movie a lot!!! The storyline is simple but exxecuted brilliantly. Great special effects also. It's way better than movies like independance day. It's straight forward kicking alien ass, with well picked music to enjoy the asskicking even more. A well timed "thunderstruck" by AC/DC always works for me :-) Actually, if you want to explain this movie with a song, thunderstruck would be it! Did i mention that i really enjoyed this movie? Just to be sure.....i did!!!!!
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.
