New Skyline sci-fi/thriller movie was recently released by Universal Pictures a couple of months ago. I finally got around to watching it. It was exciting to watch,but all the action and "edge of your seat adventures" lead up to absolutely no payoff in the finale. It was very,very weird. The flick stars: Eric Balfour, Donald Faison, Scottie Thompson,and Brittany Daniel.
"Skyline" centered around a group of six partying guys and girls who have a great time at first,but the next morning, everything changes as crazy lights and noises wake everyone up. Eventually, they realize this new,weird light isn't good. In fact, it controls anyone who looks at it,and sucks them away to only God knows where.
Naturally, everyone start to panic. They attempt to carry out a plan to get in the car,and make a run for it,but they quickly find out that's not a good idea as the large alien creatures are everywhere,and they're not nice. One by One, the group of friends get killed off and dwindle down to just two people Jarrod (Balfour) and Elaine (Thompson).
They end up emerging as the main stars of the flick. However,they aren't victorious stars. They start running around everywhere,fighting off the giant creatures,along with the military forces that have been brought in to help fight the creatures.
Skyline showed a lot of graphic,"edge of your seat" moments,which included people getting sucked into the creature,people's heads being separated from their bodies,Jarrod fighting his heart out to try and save Elaine,lots of guns being fired,and bombs blowing up.
The film capped off with a very strange ending that revealed what the aliens were actually doing,but with absolutely no victorious payoff at all. It was a very odd way to end a high action, thriller flick like this. When I was leaving the theater, I heard one lady say, "I want my money back." It definitely was not a typical ending for a thriller movie,and was a bit disappointing for me. However, everything before that, was really cool to watch,and kept me on the edge of my seat. I gave this movie a B-.
