descending upon earth early in the morning. A woman named Eliane is woken up by the light.
She rushes to the bathroom to puke. Startled by the light, she later wakes up her husband Jarrod.
He is intrigued by the blinding light coming from the window. He then gets up and ventures
out to inspect the bizarre event. As he stares directly into the blue flash, his eyes lit up,
and something seems to take over him. The movie then cuts to the previous day.
Eliane and Jarrod are seen on a plane traveling to Los Angeles. They are going to LA for Jarrod’s
friend Terry’s birthday party. Terry and Jarrod are really close friends. Jarrod is very excited
to meet his best friend. Terry sends a fancy car to pick up the couple from the airport.
Terry then welcomes the couple and takes them to enjoy the pool.
Jarrod and Elaine get acquainted with Terry’s wife, Candice, and his assistant, Denise, by the
pool. Candice isn’t too fond of Terry’s assistant. At Terry's party later that night, he introduces
Jarrod to his friend Ray. Ray accidentally leaks to Jarrod and Elaine that Terry is going to offer
Jarrod a job in LA. This upsets Eliane as she doesn’t want them to move. Jarrod goes
to check up on Elaine. She then reveals that she’s pregnant. Jarrod isn’t so excited by the news.
The movie cuts back to the present. Ray and Denise are sleeping in Terry's living room after his
birthday party. The lights again cascade on earth. Its arrival causes things in the room to rattle.
Ray is woken up by the light and noise. Curious, he lifts the window blinds to check.
After staring into the light, his eyes lit up and his face is taken over by veins as he ventures
further out. All of a sudden, he disappears as if he got devoured by the strange light.
Watching it unfold, Denise screams for help. Jarrod quickly comes out to check up on her.
Denise tells him that Ray disappeared from the balcony. Jarrod looks out. He,
too, then follows the light into the balcony as if he is being pulled. But just in time,
Terry intervenes, and Jarrod collapses on the ground. After the lights disappear,
Jarrod recovers, and his face goes back to normal. The group notices that 911 calls aren’t
being answered. The Internet has stopped updating news, and TV stations have stopped broadcasting.
Puzzled by the strange incidents, Terry and Jarrod decide to go out and investigate.
They go to the condominium roof to investigate the lights. When they get on the roof,
Jarrod closes the door behind him without realizing that it automatically gets locked.
Nevertheless, they continue their inspection. They notice that each blue flash is being sent out by
a strange flying alien drone. The light causes people to become zombie-like and immobilized.
They are then collected by the drones. There’s also a giant alien spaceship from
which the alien drones are coming out from. Jarrod takes some pictures of the machine. Just
then, a drone suddenly starts approaching the condominium. Jarrod and Terry flee in a hurry.
They desperately attempt to open the locked door but to no success. As the drone gets closer,
Elaine opens the door from the other side but accidentally ends up looking directly into the
aliens' light. Elaine gets hypnotized and gets drawn towards the blue light, but Jarrod pulls
her back in. He is able to save her and close the door on time. Elaine recovers, but Jarrod seems to
be still suffering from the effects of the blue light. He still has strange marks on his body.
While looking at the photos taken by Jarrod of the alien machines, Candice sees photos of Terry
getting intimate with his assistant. Terry then heads out and looks for his neighbor Walt. He is
searching for him so they can all leave in Walt's and Terry’s car. As Terry grabs Walt’s car keys,
the flying alien attacks Walt's condo. Terry and Walt hide from the light behind furniture, but
the flying alien extends its lit tentacles into the condo. Walt's dog runs towards the creature,
and Walt tries to stop it, but he gets abducted. A terrified Terry then runs back to his condo.
Jarrod speculates that the open water might be a safer place as there are no machines flying over
the sea, but Elaine refuses to leave the condo and travel anywhere. As they start arguing, the flying
machine appears out of the window and scouts for humans. They hide, and after the machine leaves,
they decide to travel far away from the cities. They leave in two separate cars. Candice goes with
Jarrod and Elaine, while Denise goes with Terry. In the parking lot, they encounter a bickering
couple, Colin and Jen. They are also preparing to flee the building. Just as Terry's car
exits the garage, it is flattened by a massive four-legged alien. Denise gets killed, but Terry
somehow manages to survive. He tries to run back into the garage but is abducted by the alien.
Jarrod, Elaine, and Candice retreat into the garage. In the garage, they encounter
another alien lifeform in the shape of a large multi-tentacled squid. It chases them throughout
the garage. Colin gets hypnotized by the light and is taken by the alien. The squid then corners
the rest of the group. It advances towards them, but the building's concierge, Oliver,
slams into it with an SUV and kills it. The group finds Colin alive inside the
squid. They try to free him, but the squid suddenly comes back to life. It then sucks out
Colin's brain and replaces its own brain with it. The group flees, but now they are being chased by
a much bigger alien. It abducts Jen as they run back into the building. The remaining group is
then chased by another alien, but they manage to get into the building. The remaining four
then rush to Terry’s apartment. They block their door and keep an eye on the aliens.
The next day arrives. Marks on Jarrod’s body progressively get worse. He reveals that when
the light took over him completely, he strangely felt powerful. Jarrod starts getting restless.
He insists on getting to the Marina. The other three disagree, and things start to heat up
in the room. They are then interrupted by loud sounds coming from outside.
The United States Air Force has launched an attack against the alien spaceship and the
flying alien drones. The USAF is using stealth unmanned combat aerial vehicles and conventional
drone aircraft armed with air-to-air missiles. A long skywar follows, and the four watch it
through their condo. A stealth plane zooms towards the alien spaceship piercing through its drone
aerial defense. A flying alien drone eventually destroys the stealth bomber by crashing into
it but not before the stealth bomber unleashes a nuclear missile onto the gigantic alien spaceship.
Upon impact, a blinding light takes over, followed by the sound of a ginormous explosion.
The detonation blows the ship apart and kills the aliens. The survivors start rejoicing with joy
but soon, to their dismay, the aliens survive, and the ship slowly begins to repair itself.
Jarrod notices army helicopters dropping combat soldiers on the roof of the buildings. Jarrod is
adamant about asking the army for help but Oliver wishes to stay inside and tries to restrain him.
It enrages Jarrod. Something takes over him, and he physically starts to change.
His eyes turn white, and veins begin to appear on his face and body. In anger, he physically lifts
Oliver by his neck and vows that he will protect his family. Jarrod then calms down. He holds
Elaine and then caresses her head. He convinces Elaine to come with her. The couple then leaves
for the rooftop while Oliver and Candice stay in the condominium. Jarrod and Elaine are soon
spotted, and a helicopter flies towards them. Meanwhile, at the condominium, while monitoring
the events outside through Terry’s optical equipment, Candice accidentally exposes herself to
the light. She is then pulled outside by the alien drone. The alien is then blown apart by a soldier
through a handheld surface-to-air missile. The rescue helicopter gets closer to Jarrod
and Elaine but gets attacked by another gigantic alien. The soldier fires a missile
at this gigantic alien and manages to take it down, but the giant takes down the rescue
helicopter and the soldiers along with it. The giant alien suddenly resuscitates and is
enraged. It starts attacking the whole building. Anticipating his inevitable doom Oliver turns on
the gas stove and waits for the alien to find him. Eventually, the aliens spot him in the
condominium and kill him but not before he ignites a lighter and blows up the room and the alien.
At the roof, Jarrod and Elaine start to run inside the building but are met by an
alien squid. It chases them to the roof and manages to grab Elaine with its tentacles.
Jarrod chops the alien's tentacles and saves her. They flee but eventually, the alien grabs
Jarrod and attempts to devour him. Elaine picks up the axe and attacks the alien on its brain.
The alien collapses but soon gets up and tries to devour her. An enraged Jarrod starts physically
changing again and kills the alien for good. However, he gets badly injured by the alien's
tentacles and is rendered immobile. Elaine refuses to leave Jarrod alone.
They then accept their fate, look into the blue light, and are sucked into the mothership.
A short video montage then shows that the large cities such as New York City, London, Hong Kong
have all caved to the invasion, and the aliens appear to have taken over the entire world.
Elaine wakes up inside the alien ship, on a pile of other human bodies. Machines are seen
sucking human brains through tubes. The aliens are scouting the piles to find human brains.
One alien probes her, but leaves her alone since she is pregnant.
Elaine then spots Jarrod in the pile but is forced to watch helplessly as he is pulled in.
His brain is sucked in, and his body is discarded. Elaine is transferred to another chamber where
other pregnant women are kept. Jarrod’s brain, glowing red instead of the usual aliens' blue,
is inserted into a new alien’s head, and he retains control over the alien’s body.
He later comes to the aid of Elaine and their unborn child when other aliens advance towards
her. Elaine gets scared when the alien starts moving towards her after killing the other aliens
but soon recognizes Jarrod when he caresses her belly and forehead. He then turns around to
confront the advancing aliens. The movie ends. Thanks for watching! Make sure to like the
