Skyline

Sci-Fi, Thriller
2.5 stars

Passable sci-fi flick about alien invasion, though it’s pretty much just a slightly better version of Cloverfield, with the monsters having similarities to the War of the Worlds creatures. Unfortunately, the previews led us to believe that there would be more to it, with warnings from Stephen Hawkins, and the hope of more scientific theories. Instead, we just follow a group of friends as the invasion occurs, and watch the same-ole-same-ole arguing while they make all the wrong decisions. Not that there is much hope anyway… Stars Eric Balfour (24) and Donald Faison (Scrubs). If you’re really into aliens or human survival during disaster films, you might like it. But for the rest of us, skip it.
