[Movie Review] Skyline 2010

Last Friday, Skyline premiered. And I got a chance to be one of the first to catch it in cinema.



Before i get into detail about the movie.. heres a trailer..




It all takes place in a Los Angeles high-rise where a small group of survivors brave a mysterious attack of otherworldly origins. Donald Faison is playing an entrepreneur who lures his longtime friend (Eric Balfour) to the West Coast. After a night of partying, both wake to find a strange force is swallowing humanity off the face of the earth.

Review time~

The  CG Animations used for this movie was nearly on par with that of the Transformers series. But storyline wise it is like that of maybe the Scary Movie series. There is practically NO storyline. Aliens come, humans try to fight, humans lose, humans get abducted by aliens, human soul in alien body fights with aliens and is winning. End of storyline. Its a 100minute movie and with so much potential but fails to take advantage of it. The actors didnt do a very good job, as their acting seemed very unconvincing at times. And there wasnt any explaination about what was happening in the movie. Trust me, you will enjoy the trailer more than you will enjoy the movie. And for you info, the news guy you see in the trailer doesnt appear in the movie, nor does his announcement.

However, according to some sources there will be a sequel to Skyline, which maybe will fill in the gaps and MAYBE make Skyline worth watching. But until then I think, if you want to watch a Sci-Fi/Action movie, just wait for Sony Pictures, Battle: Los Angeles.







RATING:  -NO STARS-
