   Good old fashion popcorn fun!

   First I must say that I LOVE Sci Fi movies always have always will!
   This was a very low budget film for an Sci Fi budget 10 Million I
   believe. Still it felt big to me…. I was surprised at how tense I
   felt!!! The aliens are downright scary not just ugly,

   As far as the actors I thought Eric Balfour as Jarrod was a really sexy
   believable 20 something leading man. I enjoyed that he was not so quick
   to be the hero he was scared just like most of us would be if our
   planet were being attacked! Donald Faison has a knack for comedic
   timing which is very important for such a intense movie. The women were
   beautiful which every guy will appreciate and I also liked the story
   line between Jarrod and Elaine played by Scottie Thompson I only wished
   we would have gotten to know all the characters a little better.

   The ending was different from any alien attack movie I have EVER seen!
   Cool!!! As a whole the script could use some tightening but the effects
   are well worth the price of admission the actors were fun and
   believable. I thought it was good popcorn movie. If you like Sci Fi or
   action you won't be disappointed!

   Close encounters of the incubation kind

   Just saw an advance screening of this new sci-fi would be epic and
   although I won't give away too much of the plot (as wafer thin as it
   is)I will say the conclusion has shades of District 9, looks to be
   there for a Skyline part 2. After a gleaming light blankets over Los
   Angeles one random morning @430am, it lures people outside. Looking
   directly into the light causes a dire effect which is part of the
   problem. None of that is explained. Eric Balfour is a good looking
   leading man, pity his chiseled features out weigh his acting ability.
   However in his defence, the script sucks, I could write a better one
   over breakfast. The special effects are certainly effective for the
   most part. My favourite moments are when the bad boy aliens are on the
   attack against Stealth jets and the view from the rooftops are
   outstanding visuals. The trailer was certainly interesting and the film
   simply doesn't back up the premise. War of the worlds and Independence
   Day have had a baby, it's called SKYLINE. Worth a look, it's a good
   sci-fi curiosity and the female leads are all gorgeous which helps
   matters with such a soft screenplay.

   CGI: Helping All Movies To Look The Same

   As a rule in all the SciFi film, sequel will start form where the first
   part ends. But in this film it shows the things which happened before
   the time of Aydnita as described in certain Holy Books. Which I feel a
   great attempt and the way they have correlated first and second act in
   climax is class apart. Let us put all these things behind, what we
   expect from the SciFi film and what you need from this is it?? I would
   say I expected lot of freaky and nutty things. This movie gives you all
   that and also gives you more than that which you will take it to your
   home. Folks be ready for Skyline. I feel its all set for the next
   sequel.

   Must watch movie and you will have the after effect of this movie for
   another week, bad dreams, vomiting, and passing out are just a few of
   the side effects .. DISTURBING MOVIE

   Great Effects, Godawful Script

   First, let's work on some maths: "Skyline" is an alien invasion flick
   that has a touted US$10 million budget! This amount is a shoestring for
   an alien attack film – it is not even enough to pay the salary of an
   A-list star! So now you can do the maths and understand why there are
   no big stars here.

   If you had seen the trailer you might have been impressed by the CGI
   effects of the tentacled UFOs. This is probably where all the money
   have gone. Everything else, from its lame script and B-grade TV stars
   to its sets, are all hotch-potch and downright rudimentary. It is an
   exploitation film that seems destined for DVD.

   Synopsis: After a night of heavy partying at a posh condo in Los
   Angeles, a bunch of friends are awakened in the early hours by
   mysterious beams of light from the skyline. Those who gaze on the light
   get entranced – like moths to a flame and get 'burnt up'. Yup, the
   alien ships have landed and the survivors at the condo unit, Jarrod
   (Eric Balfour) and his fiancée (Scottie Thompson, pictured below with
   Balfour), and their friends Terry (Donald Faison of TV's "Scrubs") and
   Candice (Brittany Daniel) must find a way to escape the aliens' grasp.
   But where can they run? There are so many things wrong with the movie
   that I don't know where to begin. The film, directed by the Brothers
   Strause who did the effects for "The X-FIles", centres the action
   inside the condo unit so much that we get the impression that LA is
   deserted and the only folks left are those in the half-empty building.
   No attempt is made to show the scope of the 'body snatching' and its
   effects on the millions of other city-dwellers.

   Next, the main characters are being portrayed as such selfish and
   unsavoury people that we root for the aliens to take them away. This
   may be because the writers have not bothered to flesh out their
   backgrounds, except for a few predictable turns. The only one who comes
   on as real is David Sayas (of TV's "Dexter" fame) who plays the
   building supervisor. Also, the dialogue is lame and clichéd. The
   writers must have had the notion that audience interest can be
   sustained if they have the characters yell at one another.

   There's no doubt that Strause brothers provide exhilarating special
   effects – but they need to work on getting a good story to go with
   their CGI magic. Otherwise it is just a damn waste.
