Avoid this garbage. If you want to know what it is like, watch the last 10 minutes of the last Matrix film.

Yeah, the LA Times trashed it, too. Huh, I was looking forward to it. Might be fun to see LA get trashed, though.

From one of my favorite movie critics, though he only publishes on hos own webcomic site.

I give you Howard Tayler's review on Skyline. - Mild Spoilers, if you care, don't open.

Skyline: Wait for Redbox
Spoiler:
I saw Skyline today with my friend Jeremy. At least, I think we're still friends. He didn't punch me in the throat after the movie was over.

Bad stuff had barely started happening to the cast when I realized that I liked exactly none of the characters. This made the movie much more enjoyable, because I took a certain perverse satisfaction in each of their gruesome deaths. And maybe that's what the filmmakers intended the viewing experience to be like. At any rate, the movie clears my threshold of regret by exactly one slot, and comes in at #29 for the year. The performances were competent, the effects seamless, and Los Angeles needed a good culling.

Bob Defendi summed up his dislike for the film for me later in the day. About 40 minutes in the military shows up, and our protagonists (who have yet to protag anything) look out the window at the ongoing heroics. And Bob said "that's the movie I want to watch. I want the movie about that sniper, and the guy with the bazooka."

I guess the effectiveness of the protagonists is what spells the difference between an action movie and a horror movie. Independence Day was an action movie. Skyline is a horrible movie. Oh, whoops. Typo.

Meh.

OK, that spoiler being said, it's not like the protagonists in Independence Day did anything for me, either. I just ignore the characters, though, and kind of go for the visuals. Maybe that would work here?

No, wish it would have.

I burned my turn to pick a movie on this POS that I'll never get back.

Here is my review:

This was utter crap. I refuse to waste even more of my precious life on it writing a substantial review, so this is as far as I go.

For God's sake, stay away.
