This looks like a cheesy remake of the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still. I think C.Thomas Howell must have meant well when he made this but my goodness it's so sappy. The giant 'alien's' looked like Robotech's except of course the 2 human looking one.

2/5 for trying to make a moral movie. C. Thomas Howell stared in another remake of the War of the Worlds which came out the same week as the Tom Cruise remake of the War of the Worlds. Seems Howell must be doing this on purpose as he has done it again with this movie thinking this is a way to get his movie noticed.

Very bad idea since the movies are not that good.
