Some times you come out of a film just feeling good. I’m not sure why but I think Skyline just did it to me. The less you know about the story and plot the better.
It’s one of those films that plays out better when you don’t have a clue where its going or what will happen. That how I went in, just a real quick teaser trailer and a very cool poster and I was sold.
Skyline is essentially what a 1960’s alien invasion B-movie would look like by today’s fx heavy standards and if you can over look the at times real bad acting and poor script you will have a great time with this.
Boasting some real great special effects and tense action scenes (I’m looking at you parking lot scene)oh and an ending that you will never expect from this film. At all. In what could have easily been a really crap “found footage” type of movie I’m glad that this came straight out of the left field and took me where I weren’t expecting for such a small film packed with big (often borrowed) ideas.
Over all Skyline is a good and even at times a great ride and that’s what counts at the end of the day. Its good to see something like this in the year of endless remakes and sequels and blah blah. So go and see it and maybe we will get more films like this in future for the better or worse.
