‘Skyline’ Movie Review
Universal released the sci-fi/thriller film “Skyline” into theaters a while back. I finally checked it out. It was exciting to watch. However,all the action and “edge of your seat fun” lead to absolutely no payoff in the end. It was quite weird. The film stars: Eric Balfour, Donald Faison, Scottie Thompson,and Brittany Daniel.
The movie revolved around six partying males and females who have a really great time at a party during the night. However, the next morning, everything changes when weird lights and noises wake everyone up. They end up realizing this new,freakish light isn’t a good thing. As a matter of fact, it controls everyone who looks at it,and takes them away to only God knows where.
The group of friends start to immediately panic,and try to carry out a plan that involved getting in the car,and making a run for it. However they quickly find out that isn’t a good idea as the giant alien creatures show up everywhere,and they’re not friendly. The group of friends start getting killed until they dwindle down to just two people Jarrod and Elaine.
Elaine and Jarrod emerge as the main focus of the movie,but are not victorious. They run around all over the place,trying to fight off the seemingly invulnerable creatures,along with the military forces that have been brought in to help fight as well.
This crazy flick featured a ton of thrilling,graphic moments like people getting captured by the creature,heads being separated from bodies,Jarrod fighting really hard to save the woman he loves,lots of guns being fired,and bombs going off.
It concluded with a really strange ending that showed what the aliens were doing with all the bodies they collected. However,there was absolutely no payoff at all. It was a very strange way to end an intense action thriller. As I left the theater, I heard a woman say, “I want my money back.” It definitely was not the typical ending for a horror movie,and was kind of disappointing for me. However, everything in the film before that was really cool to watch,and kept me on the edge of my seat. I gave this movie a cool B- grade.
