Yes, this was more of a bunch of martial artists in competition with a "plot" wrapped around it. If you are into martial arts it would be okay to watch, but if you were looking for a sci-fi movie with an actually story (a beginning, a middle and an ending) then don't watch it.
I sat through it because I like the martial arts and I thought the final Earth team was going to fight the extraterrestrial team. But they never fight after the Earth team is finalized, the movie just ends. Huh? The movie is called "Intergalactic Battle" yet the only battle seen is between humans, on Earth, trying the make it to the "dream team". It should have been called International Battle for Team Earth or something.
There were some bits that helped it along, but not enough to have such a crappy ending. There were some quirky news reports of the competition interjected throughout the movie which did help. And there was a bit of story with two estranged brothers who end up competing with each other, and yes, the girl that came between them. And there was the sub-plot of the extraterrestrials trying to interfere with the competition so the best of Earth's fighters wouldn't make it to the finals. But that part was executed poorly, not helping the movie out.
Overall, it was just a glorified martial arts competition.
