Skyline (2010)


Aliens appear and take over the planet in 3 days. Not what I had hoped, but not as bad as some are saying. I think the hype is hurting this flick because its a pretty fair watch. Players are less than stellar, FX are good.. both in line with Cloverfield (2008) . Despite the wide net thrown in the set up, the story is narrowly focused. Try to keep expectations in check and you will much more likely enjoy the watch. On the plus side there are some cool details if you pay attention, and if you are a fan of alien monsters and biotech there are some very respectable sequences. There was a lot of possibility with this one but unfortunately it comes up short. Fans of Captain Simian & The Space Monkeys (TV Series 1996) will recognize Rhesus 2 instantly.
