In the opening shots, there is a montage of news reports and politicians speeches about North Korea, interlaid with the opening credits and finally, the title of the movie itself appears on the screen.

Spokane, Washington. There is a high school football game where Matt Eckert's (Josh Peck) team loses because he gets cocky and keeps trying to run the ball in, even though he should be making more passes as the quarterback, like the coach tells him to.

After the game, he gets picked up by his girlfriend, Erica (Isabel Lucas), who's one of the cheerleaders in the school, and they go off to a party that night. At the party, the power suddenly goes out, but not knowing the circumstances of it, the teenagers continue to party, cheering loudly.

Back at the Eckert house, Tom (Brett Cullen) tells his returned son Jed (Chris Hemsworth) that he can't find the extra mattress, to which Jed replies that he could simply sleep on the couch. Matt arrives home and asks his dad whether he saw the game, to which he proudly replies that the team is lucky to have him regardless of the outcome. Tom is a police officer within Spokane and he needs to leave in order to investigate the power outage. Matt walks up the porch, sees Jed, and walks into the house without saying a word to him.

The next morning, Matt and Jed wake up to the rumbling sounds around them. Items around their house start to fall over, and they run outside to find out whats going on. They look up and see dozens of large aircraft with soldiers parachuting from them. One plane gets shot down by a ground-to-air missile and crashes into a nearby house.

The brothers get into their pickup truck and drive off to find their dad, who meets them along the way as he was driving towards them as well to regroup. They follow him towards the direction of the town outskirts as a descending paratrooper fires at them, but the Eckerts manage to run him over. Tom tells his sons to drive away to their cabin in the mountains for safety as he stays behind to help the rest of the townspeople. Reluctant at first, they soon comply and speed off.

We get our first detailed glimpses of the invading troops and realize they are North Koreans as they wear the symbol of the North Korean military. The Eckert brothers are pursued by other North Korean military vehicles that spot them as they try to save Erica before she is captured, but it is too late. Reversing direction, they manage to pick up a few more people, including schoolmates Robert (Josh Hutcherson) and Daryl (Connor Cruise), as some other escapees follow them in another car. They get to the cabin and try to compile as many supplies as they can. At night, they see a vehicle driving by, and Jed takes point with a rifle in case its a hostile. It turns out to be a non-military vehicle, but Pete (Steve Lenz) fires a wild shot at it with a handgun he found earlier, almost hitting Jed in the process. Jed orders him to hand the weapon over, but Pete refuses, so Jed takes it by force.

The following morning, they find out Pete left with all their food, so they gather what they can and leave the cabin. They scout around, but hear some sounds and see that a North Korean officer named Captain Cho (Will Yun Lee) is at their cabin with some soldiers and uses Tom and Daryl's fathers as bait to draw them out from the woods. Pete had betrayed them and gave away their location. Although Daryl's father is more compliant, Tom tells his sons through the megaphone to kill the bastard, pointing at Cho, and is shot by him as the soldiers burn down the cabin.

After a moment of mourning, Jed gives a speech about how this is their home, and the group decides to sow chaos among the invaders with guerrilla tactics, and learn how to operate the various weapons they could gather.

On their first raid, Toni (Adrianne Palicki) is sent as bait. She approaches a checkpoint and suddenly turns to run away, prompting several soldiers to chase her around a corner where she immediately ducks as the rest of the group rise from their cover and shoot down the soldiers. They then strip all their weapons and gear to take with them back to their new makeshift base in the woods.

Over the course of the next few days, they cause more chaos among the invaders by using stolen C4 and other explosives to blow up various military checkpoints, and outright shooting down other ground soldiers from rooftops with their captured small arms. They exclaim themselves to be the Wolverines, based on their school mascot, and the word spreads, causing others to rise up against their invaders.

At one outdoor public gathering where North Korean officials are speaking to the remaining people of the town, along with collaborators (Americans who have chosen to work with the invaders to spare their own lives) and a few allied Chinese and Russian military personnel, the Wolverines are preparing to take them out with live fire and explosives. However, Matt sees Erica, who is a prisoner at this point, being transported away in a school bus and sets off the explosions early. He is able to free her, and they escape within the chaos, but one of the other Wolverines is gunned down.

Jed is angry at Matt for disobeying and risking all their lives. Matt runs off, but after a few days, Jed goes to have a brotherly talk with Matt, where Matt accuses Jed of disappearing for six years when their mother died, leaving him and his father who too out his frustration by physically beating Matt. Jed admits he was wrong to do so since he was emotionally lost and needed to find himself, but that he needs him now, and they eventually reconcile and return to the group.

Meanwhile in Spokane, a high-ranking North Korean military officer barges into Cho's office, furious at him for being unable to stop the Wolverines, but Cho says he has a plan.

As the Wolverines rest up in their hideout, their shelter is suddenly destroyed when enemy jets bomb a large area of the woods. Two more are killed, and they go on the run. Only Matt, Jed, Toni, Erica, Robert, and Daryl are left. In the woods, they meet three American military personnel, led by Tanner (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), who coincidentally have been looking for the Wolverines.

Over a campfire, they realize that both groups had independently come up with the conclusion that the briefcase that Cho always carries with him is crucial to the invaders and must be captured. They go ahead with a raid on the local police station which the enemy personnel within the district have utilized as their base and manage to take down many of the soldiers. As Daryl is running away, he is caught and stabbed by some enemy Russian associates, but manages to escape. Meanwhile, Jed fights Cho, and they eventually end up in his fathers office inside the station. Cho gets the upper hand as Jed ducks under his father's desk, but he pulls out a gun from a hidden compartment to shoot Cho in the legs, causing him to collapse. Jed then finishes off Cho. Matt manages to retrieve the dropped briefcase from a fallen soldier, and he rejoins Jed to make a run for it.

They get away and hide out in a broken down house somewhere for shelter. Jed is proud of Matt, stating that he was never good at giving props to his brother, but that he deserved it this time. He gives his brother a beer, to which Matt replies it would be his first one, and they laugh. Jed then gets up to walk over to Toni, who is smiling at him in the hallway with another beer in hand, when he is suddenly shot and killed. The invaders had found their location and begin firing upon them. Matt yells for everyone to get out, and they manage to do so, getting into a car and speeding off.

They stop briefly in the woods to rethink their situation, and figure out that the enemy soldiers were able to find them because of a tracking device that has been embedded in Daryl's side. During the earlier battle, the Russians had actually embedded a tracker into him and allowed him to escape so that he would lead them straight to the rest of the group. Knowing it can't be removed, Daryl decides to stay behind with only a rifle as the others drive off.

The next scene shows other American military personnel and the four remaining Wolverines in a field as they load the briefcase onto a helicopter and prepare to take off. Tanner offers the surviving Wolverines the chance to go with them, away from the battle zone, but Matt refuses. The Wolverines decide to stay.

The final scene shows Matt atop a car, giving the same speech his brother gave to them near the beginning to more individuals wanting to fight against the invaders. That night, they storm the detention center where the invaders are keeping prisoners. The Wolverines attack with heavily armed jeeps and vehicles as people start shouting the name, and the last shot shows many of the resistance running forward with an American flag fluttering in the wind among them.

7842I: I and my family are living in the diaspora, enjoy the bombs, is the third mainland bridge bombable, (see inglish)

May any of the offshoot of Alqueeda, locate you wherever you are!

7842I: [size=13pt]Welcome to Lagos you gallant fighters[/size]. The most respected yoruba man fought on your side in the last war, killing another tribe to help you win the war, [size=13pt]you are very welcome to blow up the place.[/size] Giving a monkey your cup to drink water is easy, retrieving your cup from it is the trouble!

The quickest way to split this ugly nation=Boko haram.

I sincerely hope you are not typing this rubbish from Lagos, or have any of your relation in lagos?
If you do, I pray that the first casualty will be your family and your loved ones

How can you say, one tribe is superior to another?
I always wonder why madness fills people's heart!
What is the difference between that assertion and the one of, white being superior to an African for example.
For your information, we all are equal!
Just as we have the fools among the igbos, so also the yorubas, we also have the intellectuals in the midst of the two.
So, any one advocating the case for tribal supremacy is inherently wicked, evil, satanic and mad!

Imanuelle: I was never a fan of the western world, but now, i just need to take my family out of the country, where my kids have a future, and never look back! Never! Never!
Where the hell were my great-grandfathers, when africans were being picked as slaves?
Maybe he would have suffered for a while, and i'd have had a better future by now.

Chungchi: Well, I am in the orientatation camp in adamawa currently and I have to say the martial arts being taught here sucks. I was expecting we would get an instructor from Karate or Taekwondo but what we have is a man o war guy parading himself as a master. No worthy thing being passed on. Just a couple of movements to be demonstrated at the orientation camp's passing out parade.

What are you expecting?

Neo: I know kungfu
Morpheus: [eyeing him, hand on chin] Show me

You think martial arts will protect you from guns?
When i saw the article, i knew the government was joking as usual, wanting to teach something useful? why not add firearms training along the martial art.
Then you know, you will get certified military instructors!
Imagine, Man o war tutoring corpers, self defense?

searay: NO! South south

You have no moral leg to stand on for posting those pictures without the location!
Infact you are dic.kless coward, how much are they paying you to turn the other way in the face of rot and decay?
I must tell you, you are part of the problem!
An opportunity presented itself, to be a voice in the wilderness and you are here shi.tting your pant!
Post the location and put the devil to shame now!

Imagine if it was wole Soyinka, Martin Luther king, or Ken saro wiwa that took those pictures?

Do you questioned the rationale of someone who has nothing to loose?
And has about 50% chance of something to gain, cos the world is afraid of nuclear holocaust
(I'm sure Obama and South Korea will soon beg them with the usual handouts to stop their madness)
As absurd as it may sound, North Korea feels quite threatened themselves. They are fully aware that between the ROK army and their US backers, they are militarily outmatched (caveats: manpower, nukes and artillery aimed at Seoul). Combined with a half-century of xenophobic propaganda, the DPRK's leadership may in fact believe that the "running dog capitalist gangsters" are the aggressors, and they need nuclear weapons to defend themselves.

I mean, that's clearly ludicrous, but it's amazing how much propaganda can be self-reinforcing.

What makes the North the most nervous is that, at the end of the day now, they don't think the Chinese will back them. The Chinese are seeing the business and economic ties with South Korea, Japan and the rest of the world as more important than the old game of Communist-State-Friendship.

The Chinese don't even trust their North Korean friends all that much. It's a very militarized boarder. The Chinese have lots of troops sitting on that boarder cause the North Koreans even make the Chinese rather nervous. They don't trust them to be rational actors on the worlds political stage.

What do you mean we can't?
Even Britain and US are sitting this one out, helping only with logistics and drones.
Why should we be the one spilling our guts on a god forsaken desert?

Can't Nigeria sit this one out?
I hope it will not be another bloodbath for our troops like Liberia o!

@Goshen
I know your type, no amount of scripture I quote can change your mind, imagine discountenancing the prayers of Elijah?
Even if I quote all the relevant scriptures, you will still be running around it like an headless chicken.
You are what Timothy refers to as "ever learning but not able to come to the knowledge of truth"
You believe you know everything, abi?
Anyway, to everyman his own!

Goshen360: Calm down and discuss scripturally, maturely and like a Christian. Nobody is master of all except Christ and the complete word of God we have with us now. Let's get into the word.




Okay, I asked a question and you asked me question in return. That's okay by me even though you didn't answer. Don't get too emotional now, okay.

Do you pray at all? - Yes, I do pray.

If you do, how do you do it? - I do by talking to God, with my heart and with my mouth. That's being physical right? Yes, shaking my head to get answers? NO

Do you turn yourself to a ghost to do it, or you do it with your physical mouth? - Answered in (2) above....and you read my answers doesn't include SHAKING MY HEAD because it doesn't speed up my answers to prayers.




Thank God you desire to talk scripture and not just talking scripture; you want to the Spirit and life realm of the word for the letter kills but the Spirit gives life. I'm happy with this part.




You see why I laugh at people like you. You should have understood that during the time of Elijah, the revelation of God's word was IN PARTS or PIECES. The complete REVELATION is in CHRIST. Elijah called fire, NOT Spiritual fire now we talking about o, but physical fire. The fire was visible according to scriptures not spiritual fire. Does the NT tells you to call fire on people physically today and the NT has a scriptural way to bring FIRE ON YOUR ENEMIES.

Alright you pray, good,
May I correct you that prayer is not talking to God alone?
Prayer can be vertical, like you mentioned, that is talking to God, you can do that within your
heart, without your lips moving, etc
Prayer can also be horizontal, that is prayers of spiritual warfare, that can't be done quietly!

Bidam: Manifestations of God's Power

When observing, ask yourself:

1. Is Jesus being lifted up?
2. Are the Scriptures being elevated as the truth and pure Word of God?
3. Is the Spirit manifested bringing truth and greater Spiritual values?
4. Is the Spirit manifested destructive to satan and his kingdom?
5. Is the Spirit manifested leading people to love God and each other more?



God is coming out of the boxes we have placed Him in and doing what He wants to do - God is God and we're not!
God will choose to offend our minds in order to reveal what is in our hearts.

Manifestations:

1. Falling on the floor - (being slain in the Spirit)- Resting in the presence of God. Something tremendously important is being done within you (deep inner healing, preparation for ministry, physical healing, receiving of visions, feeling the love of God. )

2. Laughter - The medical profession has discovered health and wholeness comes through laughter. Healing can come through laughter.

3. Shaking ( head, hands, feet, and body ) - Sign of a much deeper happening. Not just the body is shaking, but there is a Prophetic shaking. This is often a type of intercessory prayer. People who shake are often used Prophetically. God will shake the status quo and our agendas, plans, complacency, and the theology that says God only works "this way." Everything built on sand will be shaken.

4. Deep bowing - The Jewish people who worship at the wailing wall do so with deep bowing. This manifestation is usually seen in intercessors.

And may I add, concerning the shaking of hands, legs and head.
We are tripartite being i.e we are physical beings having spirit and soul in the inside,
The spiritual warfare is done with our physical body, I.e ur mouth etc
Actively involved is the soul and the spirit, as your breaking bondages with your hands in prayers, the soul and the spirit is doing same, since its the soul most of the time that is in bondage, it can break itself free!
Herein lies the principle of violent prayers.
I rest my case!

Goshen360: First, I have placed your own words side by side. You appear to know what you're saying but messed it up in between. Now, if prayer is communicating WITH THE SPIRITUAL, how then does it became PHYSICAL....by shaking of one's head VIGOROUSLY? How do you interpret physically shaking of one's head to SPIRITUAL communication? Please explain yourself.



See, this is the problem with religion - it imports extra-biblical meaning into the text. Now, you are the one saying such prayers are not ordinary and it MUST HAVE BEEN PHYSICAL. Why the heck did you get that from scriptures? You mean Jesus had to engage in PHYSICAL exercise (such as shaking his head vigorously) to communicate to the spiritual in order for his sweat to be described 'like' blood? And since these people had been shaking their heads like lizard, why hasn't their sweat be described 'like' blood?



And Elijah has become examples for Christains Paul said, follow me as I follow Christ - following my (Paul's) examples is as though following Christ's example. We do not have such thing as Christ shaking his head vigorously and such shouldn't be Christian examples.



Again, this is your own assumption sir. There are people (Christians) all over the world that does great things for/with God by praying WITHOUT SHAKING THEIR HEADS.

What are you on about?
Normally I don't respond to people that believe that they are the master of all things scriptural, I allowed them to stew in their ignorance!
But in this case I will make an exception for the benefit of the simple minded folks here in this place who are impressionable.

Like I said previously, Prayer is communication with the spiritual, and you asked how you can do that by getting physical? The question you asked actually betrayed your ignorance if you are a christian, I will answer it too by asking you these questions:
Do you pray at all?
If you do, how do you do it?
Do you turn yourself to a ghost to do it, or you do it with your physical mouth?

You mentioned the issue of Jesus sweat as thick as blood, and you made allusion to it, my friend don't say what you dont know, the word of God with the help of the Holy spirit brings illumination, I'm amazed you don't know these! The scripture is filled with truths that will astound you if you allow the Holy spirit to minister to you. The bible says in 2 Corinthians 3:6 “who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life"
And concerning Elijah, are you now saying he is not relevant in the matter under discussion?
Smh

I get more amazed daily at the ignorance of many dumb cret.ins posing as Mr. Know All on nairaland
Many just use their good for nothing hands to type rubbish, inviting more sorrow into their lives, what makes me mad is the fact that many of these people are professing that they are christians or from such homes. Its rare to find a muslim attacking any facet of their mode of worship but these omo ale will always find something rotten to write about their faith!
To the topic,
Prayer is an expression of the soul trying to contact its maker, its a way of communicating with the spiritual, its a cry for help from above.
There are many instances and inferences in the bible where passionate prayers were demonstrated and which you may call getting physical with prayers:

Jesus was praying in the garden of Gethsemane for the cup to go over him and the bible recorded that his sweat was as thick as blood,such prayers are not ordinary, it must have been physical for him to be sweating like that in an open and cold garden before dawn.

Another example is Elijah, after the bloody power play with the prophets of Baal on mount carmel,
He wanted to pray for rain and the bible recorded that he sat on the ground and put his head between his laps to pray!
I'm sure many on Nairaland seeing such prayers would have called him mad, but Elijah prayed such acrobatic prayers and got results.

No wonder unusual things are no longer working with prayers again, because many new generation christians always attack what they don't understand.
I rest my case!

The front of the phone houses a 4” WSVGA (1024×600) screen which corresponds to about 300ppi.
The screen looks great and touch sensitivity is top notch as expected from a device in this category.
A 1.3MP front facing is placed above the screen.The phone has 8MP auto focus camera at the back and 1.3MP front facing camera.
The 8MP rear camera does a good job that also takes 10 shots in less than a minute at 15 fps in Burst mode.
