    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film was shot and completed in 2009, and originally scheduled for release on November 24, 2010. It was shelved for almost two years, due to MGM's financial troubles.
    • Goofs
      An EMP-style weapon fried all electronics, but they seem to have a working cell phone.
    • Quotes

      Jed Eckert: I'm going to fight. I'm going to fight. Now, this is easier for me because I'm used to it. The rest of you are gonna have a tougher choice. Look, I don't want to sell it to you; it's too ugly for that. It's ugly, and it's hard. But when you're fighting in your own backyard, and you're fighting for your family, it all hurts a little less and it makes a little more sense. And for them, this is just some place, but for us? This is our home.

    Not Only Hard to Believe
    I read a review where the story of the movie was said to be unlogical and hard to believe. Well it's also hard to believe that a man shoots webs from his arms and that an alien lands on earth and can fly and shoot lasers from his eyes.

    But it's not about a band of young men and women fighting against an army that's making this movie bad. It is that it is just so trivial. There is no feeling for the characters involved because they're just the 500th football playing college kids you will see in a movie. There is no heart and there is not one good actor in it.

    Not worth watching at all ...
