Skyline: Blu Ray Review
Skyline
Rating: M
Released by Roadshow Entertainment
It's alien invasion time - again.
A trip to LA to celebrate a friend's birthday ends in absolute
chaos for Eric Blafour and Scottie Thompson's Jarrod and
Elaine.
After a good night out, celebrating with Terry (Donald "Turk from
Scrubs" Faison), the gang awakes to find bright blue hypnotic
lights raining down over the city and huge machines invading the
city.
As they try to escape, it becomes clear their chances to survive
are limited - as are mankind's.
Skyline is an unmitigated missed opportunity of a film - replete
with some C List actors and some great FX, it's a weird combination
which never quite gels.
It's clear the directors are FX geniuses and wizards because the
initial shots of the skyline and alien invaders is quite
impressive. Less so is the story - which simply becomes a pick off
the heroes and see who survives kind of plot.
That said - it's got to be seen for the unbelievable final
sequences which depict life within the spaceships themselves.
Simply jaw dropping - and not in a good
way
Extras: Deleted scenes, extended scenes, commentary - very little
enticing.
Rating: 3/10
