Leave your thoughts about Beyond Skyline.
| The VergeTasha RobinsonBeyond Skyline becomes an enjoyably loopy thrill-ride, full of sudden shifts and turns. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's fairly indistinct screenwriting, but hey, at least it's not "Skyline," which appears to be O'Donnell's mantra with the sequel. |
| Punch Drunk CriticsTravis HopsonThis is the nuttiest major sci-fi movie I've seen in ages, and it's absolutely worth every minute. |
| IGNWitney SeiboldYou'll certainly find better alien mayhem films than Beyond Skyline, but some creative special effects, interesting fights, and fun, alien brain-sucking will keep you moderately – but solidly – entertained. |
| Village VoiceApril WolfeBeyond Skyline is pretty fun, even if it’s completely nonsensical. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThere’s scant room for characterization, and when the dialogue isn’t banal or cringe-inducing, it aims for generic smirking-wiseguy quippage. No matter: The performers rise ably to what are primarily physical (rather than “acting”) demands, the energy level is fairly non-stop, and there’s a lot of visual stimulus to keep idle minds further occupied. |
| Film InquiryKristy StrouseWhile better than its predecessor, Beyond Skyline is still a sequel to a thinly conceived film, and even the freshest coat doesn't work to hide the issues underneath. |
| RogerEbert.comNick AllenTone is a revealing element for this project, which it borrows from the B-movie, apocalyptic seriousness of a later “Transformers” sequel. One of the movie’s biggest surprises is then that it has outtakes, which even include poking fun at how easily the intimidating alien’s costume head can fall off. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyI did admire this movie’s near-lunatic genre-hopping. |
| The Hollywood NewsKat HughesA film that had so much potential to build on the clever ideas and issues thrown up by its predecessor, Beyond Skyline is a limp and bloated affair. |
