Leave your thoughts about Skyline.
| Boston HeraldBrett MichelLike Cloverfield, Skyline unleashes rampaging beasties on the streets, only this time they've arrived in massive spaceships -- and they're here to collect human brains. It's a shame none of the Skyline protagonists seem to possess any. |
| Entertainment WeeklyAdam MarkovitzBasically a nifty VFX reel in search of a plot. |
| Mania.comRob VauxOne of the worst movies of 2010: an appalling distinction in a year so bereft of quality filmmaking. |
| E! OnlineLuke Y. ThompsonFor a movie on a $10 million budget, it delivers more and better bangs for the buck than many blockbusters ten times the price. It's just a shame they couldn't find actors who deliver equal efficiency. Or script doctors, for that matter. |
| Examiner.comAdam LippeSkyline has lots of TV actors going through the motions (Faison, Balfour, Brittany Daniel) and one TV actor (Dexter's David Zayas) giving a performance that's so spectacularly amateurish that it renders moot all of the other major problems the movie has. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderMaybe the Brothers Strause are to be admired for getting this cheesy trash into theaters instead of letting it be relegated to the SyFy Channel. They've got moxie, anyway. |
| AV ClubScott TobiasIt isn't clever. It isn't original. It isn't scary. At best, Skyline is a proficient, forgettable programmer that only occasionally lapses into irredeemably silliness. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunA B-movie extravaganza, Skyline is a sort of sci-fi sampler of every alien invasion movie ever made. |
| ScotsmanMike McCahillThere are a couple of genuine surprises, and few pretensions about delivering an efficient, popcorn-worthy entertainment. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...there is, for the most part, simply no shaking the feeling that the really interesting stuff is happening elsewhere... |
