REVIEW:
Hoo boy! I am still kind of run down from the fabulous NYC Horror Film Festival & I’m nursing a bit of a flu but where am I? That’s right…at the movies! Your favorite scribe still tries to get you the info you need to know before you spend your hard earned money at the box office (I’m a bit late on this one admittedly though).
So what the hell is “Skyline” all about? Well it was hard to miss the massive promotional push that Universal has given this pic so I don’t think I need to bother you with too many plot details & that’s very easy for me to do because there really isn’t much plot to discuss. “Skyline” tells the story of a group of people trying to escape LA in the midst of an alien invasion. The aliens descend upon the city in the middle of the night with blue globs of light falling from the sky onto different parts of the city. These globs of light are intoxicating to everyone who looks at them & once you are mesmerized by them they suck you up into large starships waiting in the sky. The script by Joshua Cordes & Liam O’Donnell tries to throw a bit of background into the characters at the begining of the film but “Skyline” wasn’t produced for it’s character development. As a matter of fact the characters in this movie seem to do the stupidest fucking things possible every chance they get. It’s as if they want to die as soon as possible. If you know not to look at the beautiful blue lights..then don’t look at them dammit! If you know the streets are crawling with alien beasties looking to gobble you up, stop insisting that you can make a run to the harbor where you can (hopefully) find a boat & try to escape because it seems “They’re not over the water”! They’re everywhere! It’s evident in every frame of the film that the city is just sick with aliens all over it’s streets. The surviviors see it when they have the guts to look out their window & use their telescope(!) You see where I’m going with this one people?....
