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

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 love this movie! It's a very great movie filled with combat. My favorite thing about this movie is that it's based on the popular board game!

I know people hated this movie a lot and I've gone through their negative reviews only to understand what on earth made that movie "boring", "stupid", "implausible" to them. That's despite the movie with so many facets the viewers could enjoy like valor, team spirit, brotherhood, fun and so on, along with the backdrop of sci-fi, alien invasion and navy might. Now the people who are complaining about this movie for various reasons that I couldn't really understand, are only because of their failure to understand the movie plot imo.
