A fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals.

The whole of the central characters pre navy sequence, although kind of fun, seemed unnecessary especially given the films length and undermined the believability of him having risen to third in command [or something like that]. The veteran crew and the guy with no legs who I can't seem to identify on IMDB I assume are non actors given there performances and perhaps are who the film says they are.
It gets increasingly dafter as it goes on but I did enjoy it perhaps because of that. There's a bonus scene after the long credits.
