The script was written by Jon and Erich Hoeber, and the story has been described as a massive Naval adventure across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. The mission of the aliens is to build a power source in the ocean. Skarsgard will be playing Kitsch’s brother in the film, who happens to be a straight and narrow naval officer. Kitsch play a Naval commander named Alex Hopper, described as "wildly spirited" and "a great seaman but a lousy politician." He idolizes his brother.

Here are a few more details about the movie that we previously posted:

Here is some information that I thought you might find interesting that Berg revealed:

* The aliens agenda is not global domination.

* Their technology is relatable. They fire explosive ballistics, not ray guns or lasers.

* The Captain on the Destroyer (Kitsch) has a team of five guys which consist of the number two in command, the CO, the XO, and a Scotty type character from Star Trek.

* The alien ships are sea based and wont fly even thought they can. They're able to move and sort of leap at different angles, but they're killable.

* The film is likened to The Bridge On the River Kwai. The aliens are trying to build something because they're in trouble and they need a power source.

* The aliens have a similar geological makeup to us and they come from a place that has a similar ecology to ours.

* The famous line, "You sank my battleship!" will be included in the film.

* Some sequences in the film will be done in 3D, and you will be able to see the movie in IMAX.

I'm wondering why so many alien/sci-fi movies are on such a low intellectual level. I'd guess most people who like sci-fi are intelligent and understand basic physics.

I know I loved movies like this when I was 12 and I can still watch a fun low quality movie and enjoy it knowing not to expect too much, but still, is this the best they can give.
