This a good movie for the SyFy channel. It actually has a viable plot and decent acting. The a-hole playing the vice president does a good job as a subordinate who all of a sudden gets ultimate power and abuses it. The president manages to survive the initial alien attacks and surprise, surprise hooks up with not only his brother and son but the only cyber geeks that can help the USA and of course the world in general. The movie is watchable and I found it entertaining enough to watch to the end, not always an option with me and SyFy channel movies. You have the SETI scientist who has the answer to the alien invasion but she also gives her self up for the good of earth. There is the end of the movie that shows a lot of alien ships moving in on the earth so I guess they are hoping for a sequel. Unless it occurs decades in the future I do not think it is viable. I mean the USA used up most if not all their ICBM's and the jet fighters were pretty much wiped out. So not much in the way of defense for at least the USA.
