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.
"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.
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 film capped off with a very strange ending that revealed what the aliens were actually doing,but with absolutely no victorious payoff at all. It was a very odd way to end a high action, thriller flick like this. When I was leaving the theater, I heard one lady say, "I want my money back." It definitely was not a typical ending for a thriller movie,and was a bit disappointing for me. However, everything before that, was really cool to watch,and kept me on the edge of my seat. I gave this movie a B-.
