Warning: Spoilers
A group of soldiers are sent in to save earth from a ship that is on the other side of the known universe, in fact, it's at the edge of the universe. So far away that they get to utter the words, time slippage. This ship somehow poses an immediate threat to humanity because it's on its way to Earth, from the other side of the universe traveling at... unknown speed. It could arrive at any moment, say, 50,000,000,000,000,000 years from now.

At some point the script may have actually lost me. I'm guessing it was within the first 10 minutes or so. So my analysis may not be 100% accurate. But it is an accurate portrayal of just how confusing the entire thing is.

Stopping the ship is only one part of the mission. The other is to save a lone survivor who escaped from some other tragic event but managed to land in the worst place in the universe while doing so. How is this possible? How did he end up there and how will the elite unit travel to save him? By using a spell that's only allowed by one man from within Hogwart's Castle - they apparate. Sound science.

As they arrive, they are treated to an Event Horizon like atmosphere. No Latin is spoken, but it may have been more discernible than what was being said in English and I went to art school. Never took a lick of Latin but it would have made more sense.

So they find the guy by himself trapped in a room, who's managed the learn the dead languages known as Binary and ASCII. This allows him to control the highly advanced edge of the universe type ship using a keyboard that still has a cord attached to it. The monitors are thankfully not done in full 32bit color and harken back to a more advanced age of monochromatic interfacing. If all hell didn't break lose, there may have been time for a game of pong.

They all go crazy and start killing each other because remember the virus - i mean, most advanced life form ever. The fight sequences play out as if they were directed by a former WWE jobber.

Anyways, the life form just doesn't understand us at all and now everyone is dead but thankfully, before our hero dies at the end he gets to deliver a dialog that's so amazing, it's actually said TWICE. It's so long and profound, they decided it would be a good idea to show him saying it and then do a montage of him saying again as it panned over all the dead bodies.

Then everyone wakes up and goes home. 3 out of 10 because I somehow managed to make it through.
