Take parts of the Matrix, Cloverfield, Independence Day, War of the Worlds, Transformers, Predators, and some zombie movie, throw them in a blender until the best part float to the top. Scape that top layer off and throw it away so you are left with just the slag. That will give you some idea of the mess that is Skyline. They obviously spend a lot of money on special effects. The must have run outnof money when it came tomworking on the script. The movie has an interesting look and the media campaign did a good job of showcasing the best parts of the movie.
The movie focuses around an alien invasion. The aliens descend simultaneously around the world and begin to use bright lights to suck people up into the spacescraft. The aliens all take the form of flying squids and giant quadrapeds. The aliens spend an inordinate amount of time chasing our heroes. The end of the movie is unsatisfying and mercifully only 100 minutes away. Don’t waste your time or money on this movie.
