Skyline (2010)
3/10
Left me feeling cold
26 November 2010
Warning: Spoilers
As the summary says, left me feeling cold. Perhaps puzzled. Maybe a bit of deer in the headlight reaction.

I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I am not the dullest either. I minored in math and program computers. So I should be able to figure out a movie, at least a little.

But nope. I had no idea what the actual purpose of the aliens was. And the ending which was maybe supposed to be one of those sophisticated endings where the viewer makes up their own mind, left me puzzled (and maybe a bit disgusted.) But maybe you will love the ending. But to get there, you have to put up with uninspired dialog, characters you may have trouble feeling sorry for, and a plot with little scope (Aliens show up for no known reason, people try to escape them, and then a weird ending.) I go to movies to be entertained. This movie failed to entertain, except for a few decent action scenes involving helicopters. There wasn't even any decent female eye candy to inspire me to bump the rating up.

I give it a 3, because well, at times the action was watchable, and for some reason, I kind of dug how some scenes were filmed, I think I like the lighting.
