Skyline

well i was astonishingly disappointed with this film.

the basic premise is aliens invade LA. that's it.

what follows is a convoluted plot, involving the characters going round in circles repeating decisions and actions over and over again. talking of characters - they are stuck thin pathetic wastes of time. The leads have nothing to do except be angry and sad over and over again, with the random and absurd introduction of a porter who appears out of nowhere and sets up shop as a lead character immediately.

i can only think that the script had been subject to so many re-writes and cuts as the only possible explanation to the mess.

the special effects of the aliens is relatively good, but that nowadays is the minimum requirement for a sci fi film.

not good enough.
