Universal released the sci-fi/thriller film "Skyline" into theaters a while back. I finally checked it out. It was exciting to watch. However,all the action and "edge of your seat fun" lead to absolutely no payoff in the end. It was quite weird. The film 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.
The group of friends start to immediately panic,and try to carry out a plan that involved getting in the car,and making a run for it. However they quickly find out that isn't a good idea as the giant alien creatures show up everywhere,and they're not friendly. The group of friends start getting killed until they dwindle down to just two people Jarrod and Elaine.
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.
This crazy flick featured a ton of thrilling,graphic moments like people getting captured by the creature,heads being separated from bodies,Jarrod fighting really hard to save the woman he loves,lots of guns being fired,and bombs going off.
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-.
