Red Dawn 2012.

It wasn't that bad for the first two acts but completely fell apart in the third. The concept of a Chinese invasion utilizeing an EMP attack was a good, modern plot. It worked. But then the producers kowtow'd to pressure from studios to change the belligerent to North Korea. The hell? That little change made it completely implausible.

Plus, in the original all of the hero deaths were, you know, heroic. In this one they just happen. Okay, he's suddenly dead now. Bummer. No drama, no tears by the audience, just onto the next scene.

They planned on a sequel and left it hanging for that eventuality. But since it bombed that went nowhere.

What a disappointment.
