It's ok, but sort of conventional.

Sounds like Taken. I liked it. So did Tevar.

Sounds like it is Taken. My favorite scene is where the bomber pilot guns down the Aliens.

Taken surprised me by the fact that it showed the aliens almost straight away. Most other mini-series or shows would dilly dally and avoid directly showing the aliens till at least half-way. Really liked this thing....except the end.
