Humanity is taking a one-way hike to Titan (one of Saturn's moons) via the 'Tet', a giant space station.

Some of the few people left on Earth are Jack Harper, a drone repair technician, and his partner/girlfriend Victoria (called Vika). They fix the drones that help protect the fusion energy generators (which provide power to the Tet) located in the northeastern US from Scavs, aliens that are still on Earth.

Jack finds a signal coming from what was the Empire State Building and finds out it's sending out a set of co-ordinates. A ship crashes at the co-ordinates a bit later. Jack finds a survivor named Julia, who knows Jack and Vika, and Jack and Julia go and save the world (I 'd tell you more, but it'd be spoiled).
The visual effects were stunning (please refer to photos above), but the plot details were weak. For example, if there are drones to protect the generators, why not have other drones fix the drones instead of humans? I give the movie a 3/5 rating.
