a5c7b9f00b Strange lights descend on the city of Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame where an extraterrestrial force threatens to swallow the entire human population off the face of the Earth.
Jarrod and his pregnant girlfriend Elaine travel to Los Angeles to meet his old friend and successful entrepreneur Terry, and his wife Candice. Terry gives a party in his apartment for Jarrod and offers a job position to him in LA. Terry's assistant and lover Denise (Crystal Reed) and his friend Ray (Neil Hopkins) sleep on the couch in the living room, but in the dawn of the next morning, the group is awakened by mysterious beams of blue light. Ray stares at the light and is taken by the mysterious force. The group of friends try to escape from the alien invaders.
WARNING: Spoilers Aplenty! I can handle the ropey script and delivery. I can handle the derivative plot. I can even handle the cardboard cut-out characters.<br/><br/>What I'd like is a LITTLE explanation of what's going on.<br/><br/>As other reviews have mentioned, the newsroom-(non)-scene would have been ideal for this, but apparently everyone deep inside the studio building couldn't resist the light. The same light that the four people in a sea-view apartment block managed to (more or less) avoid.<br/><br/>So… where are the aliens from? Not answered. Why are they here? Not answered. Why are Jarrod and Elaine slightly immune to the light after seeing it the first time? Not answered. What's the mutation that's growing in Jarrod, and why hasn't it happened to Elaine? Not answered. Are the aliens looking to settle on earth or just abduct all the humans? Not answered. Why is there an initial landing and 'harvest', only for them to return to orbit, THEN come back a second time, and stay permanently? It 'could' by so they can convert their first batch into attack-dogs for the second wave, but that seems like a fairly quick process anyway at the end of the film, and they were hardly under threat at that point. Why does everyone who looks into the light go into a silent trance, yet when we see the long-shot of everyone being 'beamed up', we hear them all screaming and moaning? Not answered. What's the importance of "Head for the water, they're not hovering over there"? It 'could' be just because their are no people to vacuum up over the sea, but that's common sense, so why put it into the script? Especiallythey don't make another stab at getting to the marina, anyway.<br/><br/>What are their weaknesses? None apparently - you keep hitting them and they just get back up again. You see, they can withstand a military attack, and falling off buildings, but Jarrod's able to kill one with his bare hands on the rooftop at the finalé.<br/><br/>Speaking of the finalé (MAJOR SPOILERS): Why do the aliens have second thoughts about harvesting Elaine's brain once they find out she's pregnant? What's it to them? How many people in Los Angeles are pregnant at any one time, and are they all still alive too? Not answered.<br/><br/>Why do the aliens need human brains to transplant into their 'babies'(?). This can't be necessary for their continuationa species, or they wouldn't exist in the numbers they do in the film. They've harvested MILLIONS of brains in L.A. alone, are all of those to be used in this manner, or are some just 'food'? Not answered. Again, once they've converted the entire human race to pets or food, what are they planning to do then? Not answered.<br/><br/>Why is Jarrod able to keep his consciousness after having his brain removed from his body, yet this doesn't "seem" to have happened to anyone else? Is it to do with his unexplained super-powers? Presumably answered in a sequel.<br/><br/>…and breathe.<br/><br/>You see, I was thinking that SOME of these questions would be answered in the final 10 minutes of the film. Especiallyit wasn't until then that we get the customary glances around the world to see that the whole planet's been affected by this. But no answers, no. Because by then, there's only one cast member left who can actually speak in any human language.<br/><br/>I've given this a 2, because the CGI work is, for the most part, good, and I didn't mind the design of the aliens. But the film, characters and plot development should push this into minus-numbers. It's not even a "brainless fun" (no pun intended) movie,too many questions are left hanging at the end. The biggest question being: "Why did all of that just happen?"
Somewhere between ATTACK OF THE FIFTY FOOT WOMAN and WAR OF THE WORLDS comes this bewildering drivel set in a block of flats in Lala land. The aliens look like angry vaginas with seaweed tentacles and orifices that suck someone's brain (and the rest) to oblivion. Dodgy camera-work to baffle the viewer, idiotic characters who spend the first 35 minuted deciding whether or not to look out the window, and a set of actors to appeal to a few demographics, SKYLINE should be called HEADACHE and only shown to 10 year old boys who do not speak English. So horrible, so un enjoyable and so pointless, this awful film is not just a waste of time, it is an insult to the film industry and even 10 year old boys everywhere. You have been warned.
The Strauses don't care about how to keep an audience. Their movie has no sense of suspense or dread - Skyline is an apocalypse movie that plods like one of Romero's zombies.
While partying with his best friend Terry (<a href="/name/nm0265668/">Donald Faison</a>) in Terry's penthouse apartment in Los Angeles, Jarrod (<a href="/name/nm0050156/">Eric Balfour</a>), his pregnant girlfriend Elaine "Lainey" (<a href="/name/nm2174090/">Scottie Thompson</a>), Terry's wife Candice (<a href="/name/nm0199590/">Brittany Daniel</a>), Terry's assistant Denise (<a href="/name/nm3706952/">Crystal Reed</a>), and Terry's friend Ray (<a href="/name/nm0394248/">Neil Hopkins</a>) witness an attack on the city by alien spaceships emitting mysterious beams of blue light. Ray stares at the light and is drawn into it like a moth to a flame. It starts to draw Jarrod into it, but Terry pulls him away. As the aliens canvas the city looking for more humans, Jarrod and his friends try to find a way to escape from the building they are in. Skyline is based on a screenplay by Joshua Cordes and Liam O'Donnell. It's accompanied by a sequel, <a href="/title/tt1724970/">Beyond Skyline (2017)</a> (2017). The blue light transmits a powerful alien technology that acts like an airborne virus, similar to the way a "moth zapper" attracts moths and other insects. Once the light has come into contact with a human's eyesight, it overrides the brain and controls it, beckoning for the human to approach the light and be eventually taken to the ship. It obviously also has some major physiological effects on those that engage it with their eyes for any significant amount of time, evidenced by the crawling and growing dark-vein like effects it has on its victims. Humans are being abducted by the aliens so their brains can be removed. Some insight into how the aliens use human brains might be seen in the parking garage scene: the alien that swallows Colin (he's released moments later) has his brain and part of his spinal column removed. The alien ejects a brain-like object and replaces it with Colin's. It might be the way they survive on Earth, replenish their energy, or gain knowledge about humans to make their defeat easier. Everyone dies by various means. The two survivors, Jarrod and Elaine, are sucked into the blue light and into the alien mothership. Elaine ends up in a pile of human bodies slowly having their brains ripped out. She is apparently spared because she is pregnant. She calls to Jarrod, but he is killed by the aliens and his brain removed then sent up a tube. It's apparent afterwards that the brains are being used to create more aliens. The alien that is given Jarrod's brain appears and is seen to protect Elaine who realises who it is. It is seen in a short montage that cities all over the world, including New York, London, Hong Kong, have all been attacked by various alien ships bombarding blue rays and abducting people. The military fights back, but they are defeated. The aliens (who include various assortments such20-foot-tall hulking tankers,wellhydra-like squid creatures, and flying drones) appear to be un-killable, inescapable and unstoppable. Even after one large alien ship is blown apart by a nuclear warhead fired by a stealth drone aircraft, it slowly repairs itself. (All of the aliens, including the spaceships, appear to be a type of bio-mechanical machines capable of self-regeneration). Humanity is completely wiped out and the aliens win in the end, completely taking over the Earth. Jarrod has been subject to the alien technology and virus more than once. It is possible that it has begun to mutate into his DNA, effectively giving his brain an immunity to being reprogrammed. Unlike the rest of the humans taken aboard, Jarrod distinctly remembers who he is and what is going on.
