Review of Skyline

Skyline (2010)
7/10
One for the sci-fi buffs
12 July 2021
If you like all things alien, this one is for you, if you don't, you might hate it. I have nothing really bad to say about it, nothing that great either, i just enjoyed it.

Its obvious this is a low budget movie, and that most of that budget went into the special effects, which are pretty dazzling for its time!

The movie is set almost entirely inside an apartment building, but it manages to stay intense and exciting for the most part.

The characters are pretty one dimensional, nothing special, neither is the plot, but I don't expect much in the way of either from a B-level sci-fi thriller, and as such I was able to enjoy myself. There is a certain mystery surrounding the aliens and their motives, and although it's never really resolved, it keeps the film intriguing throughout.

So in short, don't expect another "Cloverfield" or "Arrival", in fact don't expect too much, and I think you will find you watched a nice little movie in the end.
