When the Sky Fell (2009)
Since the dawn of time, an ancient evil has sought complete and unquestioned dominion over the galaxy, and they have found...us.
The year is 2217 and a fleet of stellar cruisers led by Commander Frank Yamane has amassed at Mars to make a stand against humanity's greatest threat, the Deravan armada. Outnumbered, outclassed, and outgunned, Yamane's plan to stop them fails, leaving all of Earth at the mercy of an enemy that has shown them none.
Faced with the planet's imminent destruction, Commander Yamane has no choice but to seek the help of the Antarans, an alien civilization he had defeated in a war a decade before. Though they have every reason not to come to Earth's rescue, Yamane sets forth on a desperate journey to the Antaran home world, knowing that the survival of mankind is hanging by a thread.

First off, Sorry this review is so LATE! As usual I waited for the crowds to thin out before I went to check this film out. Going into the movie, I didn't know too much about it. Yeah, I'd heard it was supposed to be visually stunning, and yeah, I he...
