'Skyline' Movie Delivered Lots Of Intense Action & Thrills
Posted by Kay Stanford Jr Kastum at 12:39 AMNew Skyline sci-fi/thriller movie was recently released by Universal Pictures a couple of months ago. I finally got around to watching it. It was exciting to watch,but all the action and "edge of your seat adventures" lead up to absolutely no payoff in the finale. It was very,very weird. The flick 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.
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 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.
Skyline showed a lot of graphic,"edge of your seat" moments,which included people getting sucked into the creature,people's heads being separated from their bodies,Jarrod fighting his heart out to try and save Elaine,lots of guns being fired,and bombs blowing up.
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.
