If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

I saw this when it came out, and i was just truly and utterly shocked by how amazingly bad it was. I can hardly remember the details of it after all these years (thank god), but i remember very well what made the movie fail so gloriously- the premise of the story (only revealed at the ending) is just remarkably idiotic, the movie is very drawn out and repetitive, all taking place in or on that stupid apartment building, the CGI is.... "eh", the design of the alien crafts is completely generic and without imagination, and their whole alien apocalypse thing just feels very labored, drawn out, uninspired and dumb.. really felt like an amateur movie, me and my friends were just amazed by how bad it was and while we were leaving the cinema we just had to tell any stranger coming in and passing by us to NOT GO SEE SKYLINE, just for the chance of saving another soul from wasting money and suffering through this awful crappy movie... I'm sorry for the producers but i really REALLY hated this film..

Been a fan of scifi for 40 years, watched this with zero expectations. Admittedly i almost stopped watching it around 15 minutes in, but something made me persist and it certainly grew on me. This is not your typical alien invasion movie, it has a very strange ending, but that does not detract from it being a quality scifi story.

I love the movie and after seing it again for the third time i can say it's equally as good as the Second Movie. Skyline is insanely entertaining and full of Action! and I don't understand how anyone can hate this movie. The special effects are Great the action scenes are great, the movie is also very intense and engaging. This movie is vastly underrated and overlooked and it deserves a lot of praise instead of all the crap it gets. I've heard people call the movie ridiculous unrealistic silly and every name under the sun and I totally disagree with that. For the people that say the movie is unrealistic, News Flash It's a SCI-FI Movie about Aliens abducting people! What the hell did you expect to see when you sat down to watch a SCI-FI Movie???. People really need to stop using the (it's not realistic) Line about this movie Because it's really Stupid, it is without a doubt one of the dumbest things someone can say about a SCI-FI Movie!!!. If people don't like Unrealistic movies then Don't watch Sci-Fi Movies! It's that simple!.For the people that say it's ridiculous and silly i will give them the same answer its a SCI-FI movie! And most Sci-Fi movies do have ridiculous plots that are unbelievable and if you ask me that's what makes them exciting!. If every Sci-Fi movie was simple then they would lack excitement and thrills and in my opinion not work, this movie on the other hand worked well and was Fast paced and very Entertaining!.If I did a List of A Top 50 Favourite Sci-Fi movies this movie would be on my List Easily and I'm not ashamed to admit that either.this is one of the most entertaining Sci-Fi movies I've ever seen, it may not be as good as Alien or Aliens but its still a very good movie and I highly enjoyed watching it.The only issue I have with this film are the characters, most of them were not likeable and I did not care about what happened to them.one guy was a cheater one girl was nasty and bossy and the other girl was a Bimbo who sleeps with her friends boyfriend, and as for the other guy I didn't even know his name or care to know about him.The only characters i liked were Jarrod, Elaine and Oliver who were played by Eric Balfour, Scottie Thompson and David Zayas.those three characters were likeable for the most part and I liked them okay.I thought David Zayas was cool and Badass in the movie and he was fun to watch.I liked the relationship between Jarrod and Elaine i thought it was sweet and emotional especially their moments toward the end of the movie.I thought those characters were a good couple and I thought The acting from those two was actually pretty good.Eric Balfour and Scottie Thompson should have gotten best actor and actress nominations in my opinion and I think it sucks that they didn't because they were Great in their roles,the others were okay but those two were the stand out actors.The movie also has Great emotional music and it should have won an award for best music too but it didn't which I don't understand.The music was both emotional and hopeful and it had a nice feel to it and it fit the movie like a glove especially in the emotional scenes.I also really enjoyed the sound effects during the alien invasion scenes.The sound effects and music in those scenes were epic, and the movie had a really Fun War of the Worlds Feel to it and the movie was tense and thrilling from beginning to End.The most exciting scenes are definitely the roof Top scenes when all of the Aliens are attacking at once, and the military come flying in on their jets and start fiering Rockets at the Aliens. I also really enjoyed the powers that the Aliens had, I thought it was cool that they could control people whenever those people looked into their Blue Ship Lights.that's a cool idea that I've never seen in any other movie before.I also have to praise the Cinematography because it was Great, The movie was shot very well and it looks good and is visually stunning and nice to look at with top notch effects.The story may not be original but who cares about originality if a movie Is exciting from beginning to End?. I had a Real blast watching this movie and I was not bored a single time. I thought The movie was well directed and I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through the movie.How anyone can call this movie boring is beyond me? This Movie was Exciting as Hell! And I Loved Every minute of it!.The Movie truly is Great and I Highly recommend it!.

A man and his pregnant girlfriend visits his very wealthy brother for his birthday. Meanwhile, they encounter a couple of strange light beams which shine very brightly and attract anyone who looks at them. As predicted, they're being attacked by aliens so a painful fight for survival begins.It is a movie which tries to present an alien invasion but fails miserably in every single aspect imaginable. Its characters are as retarded as they can get, although we're talking about grown up men and women, almost every single action or decision taken makes you scratch your head in wonder. They simply insult your intelligence with everything this movie depicts, from the way aliens attack and can be attacked to the way each human being decides to fight back or stand and wait for rescue. I thought that its visuals would sweeten even a bit the sour taste that its retarded, pointless and mind boggling events left me, but they didn't. I'm not saying that they're bad, but it's very hard to enjoy some good CGI when the characters that interact with it desperately want to be killed and are capable to do anything in accomplishing their goal, although they try to tell you that they are struggling for survival.Furthermore, to put the cherry on top of the cake, the finale is as stupid as it is unexpected. I'm not going to tell you what it is in case you actually want to see this garbage but it is as disappointing as the movie itself. It makes me wonder...How hard do you have to try to realize a movie as bad as this one?It is by far the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life and I pray to God to let this one be the last "creature" of its kind I am to see. I honestly tried to like it but as every second passed, it became even more unbearable. For your own intelligence's sake, don't waste your precious time or even worse, your hard earned money, with this abomination.
