Skyline

[Kane52630]

I saw this move for free, and I wanted my money back.

Stop stealing my words
I used it for Dragonball Evolution and I want to say it for this film as well.

 

[GhostPoet]

I actually somewhat enjoyed the film. It was a dumbed down alien invasion flick....and I really don't mind those

 

[DIRECTOR]

Did everybody like Dragonball Evolution better than Skyline?

 

[CelticPredator]

What a weird comparson.

I just couldnt not handle how awfully filmed this movie was. It looked like a high school student film...I dig the Red Camera, but man....did they use it wrong. All the night scenes were grainy, and poor.


And what's up with the Strauses Pregnate girl fetish? AvP-R had (continuty ruining) egg barfing into Pregnate women, and having the chest(womb?)bursters(more continuty ruining) explode from a pregnate woman's womb. What the hell?

And then they did the same thing...kinda. Weird. Those guys need some serious help.

 

[FCEEVIPER]

I believe...no...I KNOW this is one of the worst movies ever made by a human being. There's nothing good about this flick. ****** lens flare special effects didnt look interesting, the ships were boring, the aliens were boring, the acting was beyond horrible, and the script....oh jesus.


I saw this move for free, and I wanted my money back. I hate this movie. I hate those two ******* directors, I hate how inept this movie was....

Yeah I downloaded this piece of crap and I also want my bandwidth back!

 

[CelticPredator]

I saw it for a test screening.

I agree. I just finished watching it on Netflix and was wondering what their obsession with harming pregnant women is.

The movie itself was... okay. I saw where it was trying to go and it held a lot of potential but in the hands of the incompetent brothers Strauss it just failed like AVP:R did. The visuals were good and the action decent but that's all and it didn't hold up.

There's the obvious sequel ending and the WTF are the aliens wanting with human brains to power their organic machines thing but if there's no sequel it won't disappoint me because I can't see the Strauss brothers figuring out proper film making any time soon.

 

[Fanticon]

maybe they think for shock value its theee most shocking thing in their minds to show alien-on-preggo violence?

 

[CelticPredator]

I wish people would hate these guys more then Michael Bay. But whateves...

 

[Jordacar]

Why? Bay's the one with the real power these days

 

[CelticPredator]

Rightfully so.

But atleast Bay didn't ruin Alien/Predator.

 

[Jackasscoley15]

I think Paul WS Anderson ruined Aliens/Predators long before the Strausses came along. They just made it worse.

 

[Teelie]

Rightfully so.

But atleast Bay didn't ruin Alien/Predator.

Nope though I know several people claim he ruined Transformers. Michael Bay for all his faults can at least still be entertaining (to me at least) and he knows filmmaking even if he often ignores it traditionally.

 

[Ultra Lantern]

I thought it was a good movie,except for the ending.

 

[Ultra Lantern]

Did everybody like Dragonball Evolution better than Skyline?

Yes

 

[chamber-music]

I watched this on tv the other night. It was an hour and a half long but felt like double that.

I didn't care for a single character in the movie and some of them like Turk and Sweet Valley High twin I like in other stuff

 

[Dr Lee]

Was at a sci-fi convention last year that had this as a free showing event one evening.

At first it wasn't a bad movie... interesting idea and some familiar faces.

Then Turk died....... after that the movie turned into a 'lets see how long we can have actresses screaming' movie...

and the last bit??? Dear ****ing God.... i pity the writers who came up with that bit.....

A sequel to Skyline, by the name of Beyond Skyline, is in the works...

Remember that face off between Battle: Los Angeles and Skyline a few years ago? Well, appreciating its problems, we'd go for Skyline every time. An audit of sorts as to what $20m worth of special effects looks like on the big screen, the movie was no classic, but at least it was never dull, and it had an ending that, well, it was a bit different.

Heck, we'll admit it. We quite liked Skyline. Yep, the ending as well.

And now there's a sequel coming. The news broke at the Cannes Film Festival, and it's going by the name of Beyond Skyline. A sales poster for the movie has also been released, which you can see below.

This time, the film is going to be directed by Liam O'Donnell, who wrote and produced the first film, and is penning part two as well. We don't have a release date, just news that the sequel is going to happen at the moment. But that's a good start. Here's the poster...

I was not able to finish the first one.

 

[gohei_]

Is this for real? Who would want to see a sequel to Skyline? And they thought it was better than Battle LA?

 

[Tim_Riggins]

Oh boy, dat direct to video feel

 

[DA_Champion]

Is this for real? Who would want to see a sequel to Skyline? And they thought it was better than Battle LA?

Couldn't get through Battle: LA either.

You need to work on your stamina....I suggest a diet of ASYLUM movies for the next week.

 

[Teelie]

Are you trying to give him a stroke?

That which does not kill you, makes you stronger.
