Lazer Team

Alien invaders approach.  Life on Earth hangs in the balance.  But humanity has been given a gift - advance notice to train a champion, and power suit: helmet, boots, shield, sword, that the champion can wear in battle.  Except, instead of the champion selected from birth, the suit falls into the separate hands (and feet, and head) of four local yokels, who now must work together to save the planet.

This Indiegogo-funded film from Austin locals Rooster Teeth (best known for their Halo machinima Red vs Blue) raised $2.5 million dollars, which the production crew wisely spent on a quality cast, crew, and special effects.  It's obvious it's an indie film, but it feels polished, well-edited, by an experienced team.
