Skyline had been sitting on my watchlist for a while, mostly because the alien invasion premise always intrigued me. Since I’ve been clearing out a bunch of these quick, breezy genre flicks lately, it felt like the right time to finally knock this one out. The overall quality is definitely on the lower end, but I can’t lie, I was entertained. The invasion sequences are handled well enough, even if the film’s story and characters don’t quite hold it all together. That ending though was absolutely ludicrous, and I’d agree with most who say it derails things a bit. Still, it didn’t sour the experience for me. I’ve actually been a fan of Eric Balfour fan since back in the…

I honestly can’t think of a better way to describe this film than as a very long prelude to the action, so to speak, in an adult film with an insane budget directed by incognito mode Michael Bay in a bad wig and fake mustache. Something about the performances, the setting, the camerawork, it all feels like it’s heading in a certain direction, if you catch my meaning. So much about this is amazing, though. The fact that it distills War of the Worlds into a simplified, empty experience. The fact that it made at least three times what it cost at the box office. The fact that Crystal Reed would follow this up with Teen Wolf. I mean, what…

Skyline starts off with a great opening sketch and remains funny all the way through, including an ending that will have you rolling on the floor with laughter. What? It’s not a comedy!? Oh God…

A coworker pitched Skyline to me as one of his wife’s guilty pleasures, saying “Luke, I know you like stupid movies.” He’s right. Skyline is the kind of big, dumb popcorn sci-fi/horror that I love. Boasting a wide variety of brain-sucking space-invaders with unique abilities, badass biomechanical xeno-tech, soapy human drama and an extraterrestrial-transformation climax so insane that I wish it didn’t have to end. Need to watch the sequels.

What to make of the thriller “Skyline”? A movie that could be a byline. From Faison to Fais-off, Don’t mean to scoff, But only Turk can deliver a high line.

When the most interesting part of your movie happens in the post-credits scene, I think it’s time to re-evaluate the rest. Skyline… isn’t very good, it looks like cheese, and feels like it was adapted from a third-person shooter video-game level. Yet somehow I kind of love movies like these, movies where the concept is so heady and ambitious that there’s no possible way the actual execution can support it – and inevitably the movie becomes one of those “we’re trapped in a room for most of the runtime” sci-fi flicks where anything interesting you came here for is only on-screen for 5% of the runtime. Don’t come for the characters, don’t come for the story, don’t come for the action, don’t come for the… uh, honestly it’s probably just not worth watching at all. Just put it on in the background during your next friend get-together, it’s not like you really need to pay attention to it anyways.

Es la peor película de la historia. Sinceramente su guión es una tontería total, parece que la hayan producido con un presupuesto mísero. No entiendo como no hubo alguien que pensara “esto es muy cutre, no lo vamos a sacar a la luz”. El live action de Blancanieves es una obra maestra comparado con lo que sea esto.

I’m just going to get straight to the point, this movie fucking sucks, like it actually sucks ass. Please please please, if I ever reincarnate do not let me watch this movie or else I think my soul will be dragged to hell and tortured there for a million years.

Planche de contact L’invasion terrestre commence par la baie vitrée d’un penthouse de Marina del Rey. Réveillés par une étrange lueur bleue, quelques jeunes adultes sans grande épaisseur dramatique regardent la population de Los Angeles se faire aspirer vers le ciel par d’immenses structures organiques. Bloqués dans un appartement de luxe, Jarrod, Elaine et leurs hôtes tournent en rond, débattent sur l’opportunité de rejoindre le garage ou le toit, puis finissent invariablement par se faire cueillir par une faune extraterrestre…

Up until near the end, Skyline delivers a bad, yet honest movie—pretty awful acting, decent special effects, and a pessimistic screenplay whose premise is actually easy to buy into. I’d honestly give it 3.5 stars just for its sincerity. But the film completely loses its way in the end; it goes on this weird Alien-like trip, but in a totally rushed and poorly executed way. It could’ve gone in a much better direction, but it ended up taking the worst possible route!

You would think that because the movie has more than two actors, it would have more than two characters. You would be wrong! The only characters in this movie are “man who moves the plot forward” and “woman who is scared and screams”

This is really bad 😭 If I was like 8 years old I would be eating this up though. Seriously Especially the end I’d be like “sequel where!” But hey there are sequels and you’re never going to guess but apparently I’ve seen Beyond Skyline which 1 I don’t remember at all so that’s something and 2 I didn’t know it was a continuation ??? It doesn’t seem to have the same people so I guess it’s just the same universe but like oh

Única coisa boa nesse filme é a música da banda 30 Seconds To Mars, de resto… A cada cena que passa, a próxima, sempre será a pior. As cenas finais dão dor física… E sinceramente, sinto que perdi 1h30min vendo essa carniça.

Reassisti ‘Skyline’ Fez 15 anos ano passado. Tinha o DVD quando criança. Tentou surfar na onda alienígena de Distrito 9 do jeito mais raso, genérico, Transformers 2 de baixo orçamento possível. O elenco é fraquíssimo, a edição é péssima e o roteiro é horrível. O CGI esforçado, mas ruim mesmo assim. A produção só teve dinheiro pra alugar um hotel como locação, então o filme inteiro é os personagens correndo pelo hotel. 1h30 de filme onde NADA dos personagens é…

The upcoming fourth Skyline Film is without exageration one of my most anticipazed films in the next few years. Because I just can’t wait any longer I decided to rewatch the series again. DO NOT Listen to the critics here, please! This film series is one of the best in B-Movie history with arguably the best thought out lore between titles. Incredible!

The plot almost hits Tommy Wisseau’s “The Room” levels. What the heck was going on? Who were we supposed to sympathize with? Why stay in the fancy apartment and how long were they going to stay. So odd. The effects are good, the ending is left open.

This is one of my favorite alien invasion movies. I know there are sequels or whatever but it doesn’t need them. The ending is perfect. If they did a sequel or if I write fanfiction for it, I’d explore the alien species that did the invasion. Because they fascinate me. I return to this movie often when I am done with humanity and wish some alien species would wipe them out. cos that’s exactly happens in this movie, its a…

This movie was fun. The ending was what happens when a bunch of writers get super drunk and are like “dude, wouldn’t it be super cool if…….” and then comes up with the most out of pocket idea you’ve ever heard and the other writers are like, “cool, let’s do it.”

Studio: The movie needs to be an hour and a half long, so make it happen. Writer: We only have one scene written, how do we make it a 90 minutes? Director: We’ll just have the actors film the same scene six times in a row just slightly different for the first forty minutes. No one will notice. Writer: Won’t that slow down the plot? Director: What’s a plot?

Claire’s boyfriend from 6 Feet Under, Donald Faison, Angel from Dexter and their respective girlfriends (except for Angel) attempt to survive an alien attack in Los Angeles. The aliens are particularly Matrixy, and the acting is terrible. Sometimes you can empty a gun into an alien and it does nothing, sometimes you can beat one down with your bare hands. Also the aliens have a tractor beam type thing that’s either unbreakable or it’s not, depending on the situation. There are better ways to spend your time.

Truly one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. Watched it in highschool with a bunch of friends and had an insanely terrible time. Went to buffalo wild wings and one of the kids did the blazin challenge and I drank all of his milk while he wasn’t looking. That was awesome! Also vaguely remembering thinking that David Zayas character was the only one I kind of enjoyed seeing on screen.

The CGI was actually good in my opinion. The first survival movie I see where the black guy runs towards the danger. Feels like a larger plot was in mind, as if the director wanted to possibly make a second part, but honestly I don’t see how. My boyfriend says ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but I’m just not fully convinced.

It’s your average Syfy Channel movie (that wasn’t actually made for the Syfy network). Mediocre acting, barebones plot, standard plot device, classic tropes, shorter runtime etc. All the classic hallmarks of a made for tv movie. Except this wasn’t made for tv. But I don’t know if that’s important. It’s a simple little alien invasion movie with a neat little ending; nothing more, nothing less. I think if you go into, not expecting much, you’ll leave… generally unphased and unchanged. Lol. But it’s something entertaining enough to throw on in the background or at a house party.

Avevo tanti bisogno di vedere un film brutto per davvero! E Skyline è un po’ il comfort movie dei film brutti… Questo film è semplicemente orrendo da vedere, con una tra le peggiori fotografie mai viste in un film, tali che forse addirittura alcuni corti di miei colleghi lo battono in qualità! Il cast è terrificante, con penso il protagonista con il volto meno da attore che io abbia mai visto. Stai lì per un’ora e mezza a guardare quello…

A cheap sci-fi film that wears its influences on its sleeve. I don’t really mind a lot of the different elements at play, but the whole movie doesn’t really interest me that much. The idea behind the aliens is cool and the hopelessness of human resistance is well communicated, but the characters and cinemtography are bland and the cgi is at times terrible.

The movie may have douchey characters and a crap ending, but I enjoyed this little sci-fi action thriller because of its frightening premise: being trapped in an apartment with giant monsters outside, looking for you through your windows. I’ve had nightmares like that and this movie made them real. The visual effects, done by the directors themselves if I remember correctly, are impressive. Grade: B+

So much of Skyline feels like it was spontaneously filmed in someone’s apartment over a weekend and the filmmakers have just added a ton of CGI in post to make it a movie. While the effects look pretty good for the budget, the interior footage and landscape shots look so incredibly dull and lifeless so anything computer generated sticks out like a sore thumb. The attempts at manufacturing drama and tension are pretty laughable. It’s a shame because the cast…

Skyline Rating 2.5/5 The film’s opening is underwhelming, with the character-driven plot falling flat. However, once the invasion commences, the story becomes more engaging. Unfortunately, it raises more questions than it answers, and the exciting conclusion is abruptly cut short. A weekend getaway turns into a fight for survival as strange blue lights from alien ships descend on Los Angeles, pulling people into massive spacecraft.

[A How Did This Get Made inspired viewing] I’ll be honest: I can’t exactly put my finger on what I don’t like about this movie. Maybe it’s the overly complicated design of the aliens (very Michael Bay Transformers-esque) or the general blah-ness of the cast. 🤷♂️

The Brothers Strause as refer to themselves, have outdone themselves! They shot this movie for $500,000, that seems like a reasonable budget for what I watched, it’s a pretty bog standard lower budget sci fi movie, you can kind of tell it’s not exactly a professional production with how it’s shot and the lighting and the performances have a very tubi-esque nature to them as well as the plot itself being a bit of doozy. It’s hard to follow with…

A Cloverfield rip-off that forgot about the found footage gimmick. Boring assholes run around and hide in an apartment building, occasionally looking out the window at some reject CGI set-pieces from Battle: Los Angeles or Independence Day. Sucks but what do you expect from the directors of Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem.

Suffered through this because I’ve heard the two sequels are actually pretty good. A lot of ugly but competently made CGI mayhem surrounding characters who are confined to the same apartment building for the entire runtime. Feels like an attempt to cash in on the success of Cloverfield, but what Matt Reeves understood making Cloverfield is that maintaining a consistent perspective lends scale and believability. This crosscuts so much between our ostensible protagonists running around a room and nameless, faceless…

Why would aliens invade the Earth? In The War of the Worlds, it is a metaphor for the British Empire, colonizers who already existed, rapaciously stealing and looting from people at a technological disadvantage. There is an element of lebensraum ahead of its time, the desire for land and territory. The alien of The Thing is an invader by its very nature, here presumably by accident and bearing no indication of malice towards the organic forms that it co-opts. Independence…
