What the heck?


A detective and an Alien Warship? What genre is this thing now?

reply

A shit one. It really is awful. Its like a movie made in the 80s with its plot points, but not a good one.

reply

Like what is this? Law and Order means Aliens? What in the blue hell?

reply

More like Predator meets Ong Bak.
I've enjoyed it though... in a way )

reply

So would you recommend I partake?

reply

Only if you love low budget SF movies from the 80s/early 90s. I'm talking Space Hunter, Omega Doom, Hardware etc. On the other hand, it's quite similar to some modern stuff imitating the 80s - Hunter/Prey, The Guest, Cold in July.

Oooh then maybe I shall partake. Thanks for the tips (and bring me some figgy pudding)

the events in this film start happening in parralel with the original skyline movie and then becomes a sequal around the mid point which is where where the first skyline movie ended. I think the plot point of the detective searching for his son was overstated in the summary as it feels more like a side plot compared to the alien invasion which is what the movie is really about.


reply

Its really just an Alien warship. The detective looking for his son angle was hapening before the initial invasion.

I don't get the hate. I quite enjoyed it.

reply

I don't get the mediocre reviews of the original Skyline movie. I enjoyed it a lot and I'm not that easy to please.

reply

The first one was pretty good and managed to be kind of mysterious without being annoying about it ala Lost.

I can’t quite understand why it’s so hard to produce reasonable low budget science fiction. It doesn’t have to have Shakespearean acting, elaborate VFX or super original ideas.
