Skyline (2010)

SPOILER: The movie itself is good, I did not like the main actress, it did not seem charismatic, and it got annoying, the ending is completely meaningless, and this is what harms the movie. An alien invasion, facing military, so far everything ok, but then the aliens kidnap the main character and turn him into a monster? Serious?

Been a fan of scifi for 40 years, watched this with zero expectations. Admittedly i almost stopped watching it around 15 minutes in, but something made me persist and it certainly grew on me. This is not your typical alien invasion movie, it has a very strange ending, but that does not detract from it being a quality scifi story.

I love the movie and after seing it again for the third time i can say it's equally as good as the Second Movie. Skyline is insanely entertaining and full of Action! and I don't understand how anyone can hate this movie. The special effects are Great the action scenes are great, the movie is also very intense and engaging. This movie is vastly underrated and overlooked and it deserves a lot of praise instead of all the crap it gets. I've heard people call the movie ridiculous unrealistic silly and every name under the sun and I totally disagree with that. For the people that say the movie is unrealistic, News Flash It's a SCI-FI Movie about Aliens abducting people! What the hell did you expect to see when you sat down to watch a SCI-FI Movie???. People really need to stop using the (it's not realistic) Line about this movie Because it's really Stupid, it is without a doubt one of the dumbest things someone can say about a SCI-FI Movie!!!. If people don't like Unrealistic movies then Don't watch Sci-Fi Movies! It's that simple!.For the people that say it's ridiculous and silly i will give them the same answer its a SCI-FI movie! And most Sci-Fi movies do have ridiculous plots that are unbelievable and if you ask me that's what makes them exciting!. If every Sci-Fi movie was simple then they would lack excitement and thrills and in my opinion not work, this movie on the other hand worked well and was Fast paced and very Entertaining!.If I did a List of A Top 50 Favourite Sci-Fi movies this movie would be on my List Easily and I'm not ashamed to admit that either.this is one of the most entertaining Sci-Fi movies I've ever seen, it may not be as good as Alien or Aliens but its still a very good movie and I highly enjoyed watching it.The only issue I have with this film are the characters, most of them were not likeable and I did not care about what happened to them.one guy was a cheater one girl was nasty and bossy and the other girl was a Bimbo who sleeps with her friends boyfriend, and as for the other guy I didn't even know his name or care to know about him.The only characters i liked were Jarrod, Elaine and Oliver who were played by Eric Balfour, Scottie Thompson and David Zayas.those three characters were likeable for the most part and I liked them okay.I thought David Zayas was cool and Badass in the movie and he was fun to watch.I liked the relationship between Jarrod and Elaine i thought it was sweet and emotional especially their moments toward the end of the movie.I thought those characters were a good couple and I thought The acting from those two was actually pretty good.Eric Balfour and Scottie Thompson should have gotten best actor and actress nominations in my opinion and I think it sucks that they didn't because they were Great in their roles,the others were okay but those two were the stand out actors.The movie also has Great emotional music and it should have won an award for best music too but it didn't which I don't understand.The music was both emotional and hopeful and it had a nice feel to it and it fit the movie like a glove especially in the emotional scenes.I also really enjoyed the sound effects during the alien invasion scenes.The sound effects and music in those scenes were epic, and the movie had a really Fun War of the Worlds Feel to it and the movie was tense and thrilling from beginning to End.The most exciting scenes are definitely the roof Top scenes when all of the Aliens are attacking at once, and the military come flying in on their jets and start fiering Rockets at the Aliens. I also really enjoyed the powers that the Aliens had, I thought it was cool that they could control people whenever those people looked into their Blue Ship Lights.that's a cool idea that I've never seen in any other movie before.I also have to praise the Cinematography because it was Great, The movie was shot very well and it looks good and is visually stunning and nice to look at with top notch effects.The story may not be original but who cares about originality if a movie Is exciting from beginning to End?. I had a Real blast watching this movie and I was not bored a single time. I thought The movie was well directed and I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through the movie.How anyone can call this movie boring is beyond me? This Movie was Exciting as Hell! And I Loved Every minute of it!.The Movie truly is Great and I Highly recommend it!.

This is a juicy SF movie far better than a lot of big budget junk. It's as if people into science fiction were actually involved in its production. It begins typically -- pretty young things are partying when trouble starts to interfere, but it improves and then ends on an unusual and haunting note. Action fans AND SF fans should find it satisfying. If you see it, you will likely want to see it again.
