今天在悉尼有试映，我本来打算去但是后来有事就没去了，上imdb看了看，也有不少澳洲的人说今天要去看，看完过来写review，于是我等过几个小时再过去看，果然有几篇review上来了，不过都是在黑

特效还行（片方独立制作，钱估计都花这上面了），对白煞笔剧情煞笔演员煞笔，又一个预告片=精华的绝佳体现

小制作，重视了特效忽略了其他，没得说了

Okay just came back and i got to say that this movie was ridiculous, it tries sooo hard to take it self seriously and it fails at it. Once i heard 30 seconds to mars and some gangster music i was like omg. The special effects were cool i must admit they didnt disappoint, but once they show the aliens that look like Ben 10 i was like thats it i give up and the dialogue was like watching a trashy slasher film "whats that" "i dont know lets check it out" OMG. I managed to sit through it though....just, Overall it was a 2/5. If people are wondering what the "twist" is it isnt anything that the people post up on this board its something else but its really silly.

--------------------------------------------

If you 'd like to see a movie that have most of its action in an appartement . If you d like to see some lame actors who try to look deep, all the time, about any lines of dialogue , if you 'd like to see the most stupid sloppy ending ever made ( seriously) you will be WTF ?!
And if you'd like to see for the first time a director being so bored by his own movie that he pressed by himself the "fast-forward" button while cuting the film .

You should definitly go see this movie .
But if you'd like to do more interesting and less painful things , like, hiting your hand with a hammer or eating english food , stay at home! And watch an episode of "scrubs" where Donald Faison , have actualy some dialogue lines, that you can listen without getting an headache .

PS: sorry for my broken english

PS2 : the CGI are not too bad for such a low budget film

----------------------------

I like crappy alien invasion movies, so this didn't disappoint in the crappy department and didn't disappoint in having an alien invasion either. The invasion looked pretty cool.

Some of the special effects looked awesome and some looked really bad, but what can you expect from the people who did the special effects for Avatar for like 11 trillion dollars more?

Had a few laughs (weren't supposed to I'm guessing), but hey, it killed 90 minutes.

------------------------

the movie sux big time
only part i enjoyed was the B2 bomber cruising through the alien fighters to deliver 'the package' onto the carrier ship.

It was not a B2 but A stealth drone , can't remember its name .
But you right it sucked Big time !

---------------

3/10

First, let's work on some maths: "Skyline" is an alien invasion flick that has a touted US$10 million budget! This amount is a shoestring for an alien attack film - it is not even enough to pay the salary of an A-list star! So now you can do the maths and understand why there are no big stars here.

If you had seen the trailer you might have been impressed by the CGI effects of the tentacled UFOs. This is probably where all the money have gone. Everything else, from its lame script and B-grade TV stars to its sets, are all hotch-potch and downright rudimentary. It is an exploitation film that seems destined for DVD.

Synopsis: After a night of heavy partying at a posh condo in Los Angeles, a bunch of friends are awakened in the early hours by mysterious beams of light from the skyline. Those who gaze on the light get entranced - like moths to a flame and get 'burnt up'. Yup, the alien ships have landed and the survivors at the condo unit, Jarrod (Eric Balfour) and his fiancée (Scottie Thompson, pictured below with Balfour), and their friends Terry (Donald Faison of TV's "Scrubs"

and Candice (Brittany Daniel) must find a way to escape the aliens' grasp. But where can they run? There are so many things wrong with the movie that I don't know where to begin. The film, directed by the Brothers Strause who did the effects for "The X-FIles", centres the action inside the condo unit so much that we get the impression that LA is deserted and the only folks left are those in the half-empty building. No attempt is made to show the scope of the 'body snatching' and its effects on the millions of other city-dwellers.

Next, the main characters are being portrayed as such selfish and unsavoury people that we root for the aliens to take them away. This may be because the writers have not bothered to flesh out their backgrounds, except for a few predictable turns. The only one who comes on as real is David Sayas (of TV's "Dexter" fame) who plays the building supervisor. Also, the dialogue is lame and clichéd. The writers must have had the notion that audience interest can be sustained if they have the characters yell at one another.

There's no doubt that Strause brothers provide exhilarating special effects - but they need to work on getting a good story to go with their CGI magic. Otherwise it is just a damn waste.
