Review of Skyline (2010) by Totalbiscuit — 13 Nov 2010

Without a doubt the worst movie I've seen this year. It's difficult to get an alien apocalypse movie wrong honestly, you just need some cool aliens, combat scenes and explosions, plus a little bit of drama wouldn't go amiss either.

This movie is avoid of everything but the first point and the lack of budget is obvious, with limited variety in the alien types and special effects. The actors are universally poor, as is the sorry excuse for a script.

The entire first 30 minutes of the movie are completely redundant and each character might as well be a cardboard cutout with one defining characteristic each. It is impossible to feel anything for these people when the acting is two dimensional and the script doesn't deliver a single line of good dialogue the entire time.

The characters don't go anywhere, which is appropriate considering the movie doesn't either. This horrendous thing would not be out of place in the line-up of SyFy Original Movies, though it would do said line-up a disservice (consider that for a moment).

This movie makes Independence Day look like the greatest science fiction work ever created. Don't lookup.
