It is set in the mid 27th century and the earth is at war with well basically Aliens, (The Felinoid Kilrathi Empire). The Empire launches a surprise attack on earth and it falls to our heroes to defend the earth until reinforcements arrive. They find themselves under fierce attack and are massively outnumbered but they valiantly fight on.
The film has plenty of special effects and at time is a bit Star War-y. The battle scenes are quite spectacular and it is suspenseful and the accompanying music is complimentary to the plot scenes.
This film was in the same vein as star ship troopers and had that little cheesy aspect but to be honest it was fun to watch. The special effects where quite good, the acting as previously stated good and the whole movie trundled along at a respectable pace. Watch this film and I think you will enjoy it.

Advantages: So bad you might laugh a bit, kids might like it(although they'll probably get bored with the lack of action) Disadvantages: Numbskullish screenplay, dire acting, weak special effects, sluggish pace, no thrills, no tension, no excitement...and it goes on
