When mankind beams a radio signal into space, a reply comes from ‘Planet G’, in the form of several alien crafts that splash down in the waters off Hawaii. Lieutenant Alex Hopper is a weapons officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones, part of an international naval coalition which becomes the world's last hope for survival as they engage the hostile alien force of unimaginable strength. While taking on the invaders, Hopper must also try to live up to the potential that his brother, and his fiancée's father—an Admiral—expect of him.

starring Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker

“une demi-heure à trois quarts d’heure (en restant indulgent) d’effets spéciaux comprenant explosions, kabooooms et boum-boums qui satisfont pleinement le petit enfant brisefer qui casse les châteaux de sable à la plage et tous ses jouets à la maison ! Putain de spectacle”
