Review

Good and fun sci-fi action adventure with funny and brutal (in a good way!) scenes.

There is young people who wants to join to army and fight against brutal aliens. Johnnys parents does not want that he would go there, but he goes anyway against their will, probably because he wants to impress her girlfriend Carmen. Later he makes some bad mistakes there and he regrets that he joined to army and wants to return back to home, but before he managed to return there is an attack against his home town by aliens. Johnny cancels his resign paper and goes to war against aliens.

There is lots of good elements in this movie. It is fun, it has good kind of semi humorous brutality and the story is ok as well. Surely it has not much depth in it, but in general I would count this movie as a fun film to watch.
