Do you like your sci-fi action sporadic and predictable? Well then do I have a movie for you.
Not just that, but Skyline will also have you constantly guessing just how the heck a film like this could not be sent straight to DVD.
What we have here is a sci-fi action flick starring the kind of actors who, while you're happy are finding work, are certainly not good enough to carry a special effects movie.
The plot has six beautiful people in LA to celebrate a friend's birthday. The main guy is the skinny junky with the bad mustache from Six Feet Under.
For some reason he's still rocking the moustache in this film. We'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say it's a tip o' the hat to Movember.
Then there's his best friend David Faison, aka Turk from Scrubs. He's the birthday boy and the evening ends with aliens coming down, flashing blue light at people to make them zombies so they can vacuum them up into the spaceship.
That's right, alien brain eaters who apparently aren't picky about the quality of brains they harvest.
Sadly, this movie suffers from the crippling combination of half decent special effects combined with absolutely nothing else worth watching. This "nothing else" takes up a significant amount of time.
So when something is not exploding, on fire or being shot at, this film is complete belch.
It's so bad that you spend almost the whole movie praying for these people to die quickly so you can run to tell your friends to avoid this film at all costs.
Thankfully, you probably won't see this film since Harry Potter opens today and with any luck this will be the last anyone ever hears about Skyline.
