Martin Wilson I enjoyed the first skyline and so looked forward to this when I discovered it. The beginning of the movie was utterly dull almost to the point I was going to switch off but kept going and then it started rapidly improving and my attention was grabbed but the last 3rd of the movie was all downhill for me and just felt like the story was too ridiculous and then I stopped caring. What the whole film had was some very good production values and effects for what I assume is a fairly low budget movie. It's worth watching if you like cheesy scifi and would be even better with a few beers to dull your intellect a bit. The annoying thing is the film could have been so much more with a better script and story. The actors are fit for purpose the effects people certainly know what they are doing. It just becomes a stupid mess at the end reminding me of the reenactment of pearl harbour from monty python rather than a serious battle as per the real pearl harbour of ww2.

SnoopyStyle Mark Corley (Frank Grillo) finds himself on a stalled subway as the alien invasion begins. LAPD cop Audrey (Bojana Novakovic) tries to keep the group on the train but they insist on leaving. Mark barely saves his hypnotized son Trent from being pulled up to the alien spaceship. The survivors travel along the underground.If the original is a B-movie, this is basically a C-movie. This follows a different group of survivors during that same assault. In the original, I found the last part to be problematic. This movie takes that last part and just keeps going. One also has to remember the red eyed alien from the original and his pregnant girlfriend. The brain thing really doesn't make logical sense. In the original, I took it as poetic license similar to aliens draining our blood in "War of the Worlds". I can't do that this time around since this builds a complete premise around it. At least, it's not a computer virus but it's not that far. For an alien futurism combat, there is way too much hand-to-hand fighting. This has its fun but I can't take it seriously.

jodyfranz I had fun watching this and it was easy to get through, so 2 pluses for me right there. This movie reminded me of old sci fi b movies where aliens would run around disintegrating people. In this case they suck you up and scoop out your brain. I think this would have been way higher in ratings for me if they hadn't tried to take themselves as seriously as they did and camped it up a bit more, maybe with some cheesy one liners or something. For the budget this movie looks pretty good. You can tell they are wearing rubber suits (specially after watching the bloops at the end).Acting wasn't awful and was fairly believable in most parts. There is a scene where a baby grows from magic alien science powers, it would have been funny for the characters to point that out like, well how did her clothes grow or something. I watched The Cloverfield Paradox recently and compared to this movie Skyline is so much more enjoyable to watch (wanted to love Cloverfield just couldn't hope you understand).Don't shy away, if you like the first one you will like this one too. This movie has it all, aliens sucking up humans to harvest brains, kung fu, hot chicks (no nudity sorry), slposions, a bit of gore (not as much as you might think, that stuff costs money people), bullets flying and lots of ass kicking.

Kevin Olive Apparently there was another Skyline but I didn't see it and this movie certainly doesn't entice me to either. It seemed very much like a SYFY channel movie of the week. The plot was barely more than aliens invading so fight, fight, fight and stay alive and oh, we have this weird little alien-altered girl we don't know what to do with who went from infant to 6 years old during the main story line. Then right before the closing credits we jump 10 years into the future to see her leading an armada to defeat the invaders.Aside from that, the out takes at the end were fabulous.
