Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Sadly Over-hyped
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The acting in this movie is really good.
Been a fan of scifi for 40 years, watched this with zero expectations. Admittedly i almost stopped watching it around 15 minutes in, but something made me persist and it certainly grew on me. This is not your typical alien invasion movie, it has a very strange ending, but that does not detract from it being a quality scifi story.
7+ for me.better then many blockbuster .story is good and acting very decent, good cast.Aliens are rightly animated .don't expect too much and you will enjoy!
Cannot for the life of me understand the low rating but I presume it is because of the more true to life ending and lack of the usual clichéd American happy ending.For a low budget movie this one pulled out all the stops and is in my top ten of alien invasion movies.This is what would happen if aliens arrived - no schmaltzy good guys win in the end and that's what makes this a true classic as it veered away from the usual story lines and did its own thing. If an alien invasion force were able to navigate space to come to earth we truly would be ended - Just ask Stephen Hawking!Loved the main characters too and for the budget in which it was made it has to be commended. The truly original special effects; even the sound effects which were novel and not stolen from some other movie this deserves its place in the all time scifi top 50!
I'll just say this - My son and I went to see this when it was released and we love scifi, aliens, adventure, CGI flashy lights and twisty plot lines.We use skyline for the basis for judging all other scifi movies - when I say "baseline" I mean the ZERO POINT - and so far nothing has sucked as much as skyline. nothing.I'm giving you back 1 hour and 37 minutes of your life. you're welcome.:)
