The plot is that humans are the aliens and after destroying earth (crap, another eco-hippie movie) they go to invade an alien planet called Terra. Much like the other disappointing 3D movie with the similar plot, I couldn’t work out if I should be supporting the humans or the aliens.

Anyway, didn’t anyone notice that “Terra” is Latin for “Earth” when they started writing this thing? If it was called Terra Nova (new Earth) or something like that I could understand but apparently these aliens live on a planet that just happens to have exactly the same name or something.
