I actually enjoyed this movie! It does remind you of 'Independence Day' only with the Navy instead of the Air Force. The special effects were great! The storyline was well thought out and executed. There were times when you wonder, 'How in the world are they going to win this?' Good job. NOT BAD for KIDS over the age 10 (little kids might have bad dreams). Also, PARENTS there was only one curse word. The 's' word was said I think once. Go out and enjoy! I may buy the dvd when it comes out!
