Universal Pictures recently released a new sci-fi/thriller movie "Skyline" into theaters a couple months ago. I just checked it out. While it was exciting to watch,all the action and "edge of your seat scenes" lead up to no payoff in the end. It was very odd. It stars: Eric Balfour, Donald Faison, Scottie Thompson,and Brittany Daniel.
The film revolved around a group of six partying male characters and female characters who have a great time,partying the night before,but the next morning, everything changes in a bad way as weird lights and noises wake everyone up. Then they realize this crazy,odd light isn't good. In fact, it controls anyone who looks at it and sucks them away for good.
As expected, the group of friends start to get scared and nervous. They come up with a plan to get to the car,and make a run for it. Unfortunately,they find out that plan isn't a good one because the huge alien monsters are everywhere,and they're not nice at all. One by One, the group of friends dwindle down to just two people Jarrod (Eric Balfour) and Elaine (Scottie 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.
The film features a lot of thrilling moments like people getting sucked up into the creature,heads being separated from bodies,Jarrod fighting as hard as he can to save the woman he loves,lots of guns being fired,and bombs exploding.
The movie ended with a very strange conclusion,which revealed what the aliens were doing on their spaceship,but it had absolutely no victorious payoff at all for the two friends who were left. It was a very odd way to end a high,action thriller such as this. When I tried to exit the theater, I heard a lady say, "I want my money back." It definitely was not a typical ending for a thriller movie,and was pretty disappointing for me. However, everything before that was really cool to watch,and it was never boring the entire time. I gave this movie a B-.
