Skyline. Don't look up...at the screen.

This review is on Skyline, and I actually feel obligated to write this review to give warning to all who read this. Skyline was so bad, so bad...after the movie ended it was like dropping an extremely heavy couch after climbing twenty flights of stairs with it. The relief of it ending was a god send in itself. Where do I begin? The movie starts off with this couple. The actors I don't really recognize, I think one of them was on Haven which is on the Sci Fi channel. They go to L.A. to meet their rich friend who is the actor from scrubs, I think he was in Clueless as well I don't know his name either. But I don't think anyone cares either. Any who. they go to L.A. and "party it up" then BOOM bright lights and everyone is going towards them. Did no one pay attention when your told NOT to go towards the light? Let alone a strange light that came from the sky? For fuck sakes people have some common sense! Well the main character looks at the light being captivated and gets pulled away which gives him "Powers" ...really? You don't see it until the end. But aliens invade, big surprise. The mother ships looked original in a sense that they didn't look like one of the droid vehicles from Starwars episode II. And the floating drones weren't knockoffs of the aliens from Independence day or the other floating drones from the Matrix. There was very little originality in this movie, and the bad acting didn't help anything either. I have so many complaints I don't want to name them all and I already feel like I'm nitpicking. But the icing on the cake was that they didn't even bother to end it. They probably just thought "Eh this is good enough we already know this is going to be bad who gives a shit." Show some form dignity. Skyline gets a 1 out of 4. With the money they spent making this they could have made an Independence day 2 and as bad as it would have been it would have been better than Skyline.
