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.
"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 come to emerge as the main stars of the film,but not victorious ones. They run around everywhere,trying to fight off the big creatures,along with the armed forces that have been brought in to fight the monsters.
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.
It concluded with a really strange ending that showed what the aliens were doing with all the bodies they collected. However,there was absolutely no payoff at all. It was a very strange way to end an intense action thriller. As I left the theater, I heard a woman say, "I want my money back." It definitely was not the typical ending for a horror movie,and was kind of disappointing for me. However, everything in the film before that was really cool to watch,and kept me on the edge of my seat. I gave this movie a cool B- grade.
