Trivia
Scenes were filmed on Cotton Avenue in Macon, Georgia, which was made to look post-apocalyptic. Some buildings were damaged by pyrotechnic effects, including a bus explosion that damaged several businesses. Some residents called the city, wanting them to pick up the trash on the streets.

Goofs
When the squad of kids are sent out at night to kill The Others, they wear black uniforms and move stealthily, but their helmets have bright lights, making them easy targets.

Quotes
Ben Parish: What did we do to deserve...
Colonel Vosch: Nothing. Other than occupy a space we need. We're not that different, Ben. Your kind would do exactly the same thing.
Ben Parish: No. Our kind wouldn't have wiped out an entire species.
Colonel Vosch: Of course you would. You've been doing it for centuries.

Cassie is the reason

The reason to watch this is for Cassie's performance. The reason not to watch it is the rest of the movie. It starts promising. An alien ship orbiting and people wondering what is all that about. A massive EMP wipes out all electrical connections (Wave 1). A flood (Wave 2). Bird Flu (Wave 3). The aliens are depopulating the planet. The few survivors who were immune to the bird flu gather and the military shows up to take them to a military base. Through luck, Cassie misses getting on the bus. By then it becomes very predictable. Cassie still intends to reunite with her brother, who was on the bus, and that is the rest of the story.
