This one really doesn't fit into any category except for the crappy movie category but it's supposed to be action/sci-fi

The breakdown:  The world is being invaded by aggressive aliens and a lot of major cities have fallen.  Los Angeles, United States of America is the last city standing where the military has to make humanities final stand.


Anytime you have a person named something like "Ne-Yo" in your film you know it's gonna' be bad.
I am so glad I didn't pay to watch this movie.  Not only are the characters generic and boring, the dialogue is painful, and the story so uninteresting.  The only way I got through it was to listen for cliche military movie phrases like "this is not a drill", "I didn't sign up for this!" "We've got company!" etc. 
So the plot.....Meteors are falling to Earth but slowing down upon entry.  People realize too late that these are not really meteors.  They are aliens getting ready to invade Earth.  The aliens are very aggressive and well armed.  They start killing people left and right and destroying all major cities across the world.  Los Angeles is the last big city in the world standing and the military is somehow supposed to go in there and kick some alien ass!?
Anyway, Eckhart plays a sergeant that just got his retirement approved but goes back into active service when he realizes he has to save the world (because without him - the world would fall!  I'm being sarcastic here.)  He gets assigned a new troop and they are supposed to save some dumb civilians who locked themselves in a police station.  Military gets there, saves the innocents and fights the bad guys.  They eventually kill the alien mother ship.  The End.
There's really not a lot to this movie.  I guess it's supposed to be a war movie then it's supposed to be a science fiction movie too.  Somewhere along the way all the people involved with the movie forgot that it was supposed to be entertaining to watch. 
This movie is so so bad.  Do not watch it.  Do not waste time off your life watching.  Please....Really, PLEASE don't see it and waste your time on this piece of theatrical crap.

I give it 0 out 5 stubs, I think my worst movie rating EVER!  (Even Splice got more than 0!)
