Nov 12, 20103A big disappointment, yet I think some are taking this too harsh. I agree with fbcking stating the first trailer had no relevance to the film. This is a cliched sci fi film with a terrible plot, and terrible acting to put the cherry on top.

Nov 14, 20100Stank .. don't even waste your time watching it for "free" when it gets released to broadcast in 6 months... I want my money back! Hmm I got to come up with 150 characters for this review! What can you say! Its a greedy nasty Corporate Hollywood rip off! Did not even come close to the promise of the trailer! Should have read a few reviews before I wasted my money!

Sep 10, 20112The worst movie of the year. I have nothing positive to comment on this movie except for the CGI. the cast is horrible with stone cold acting, running around the penthouse for an hour devoured by aliens. The story is uninspired with a preposterous ending. This is a movie that has lost its way to the direct-to-home video pile.
-
Apr 17, 20114The first 30-40 min of the movie held my interest and I thought it was going to something special, but the ending, with its Matrix style of the aliens need the humans for food/energy thing, really throw me off. Writers had 3/4 of a movie, and just winged it from there.
-
Nov 12, 20101Almost the whole first trailer was absent from the movie. They never addressed NASA sending out a communication like in the trailer and the press reporting on it. That trailer had me very excited and I got a different movie in the theater. What a waste of money and time.
-
Nov 13, 20101No need for a spoiler warnings because you've seen it all before in much, MUCH better movies. Incoherent and illogical don't begin to describe the "plot." The special effects that supposedly make this dreck watchable were cutting edge in 1985 -- seriously.

Nov 13, 20100No plot, no character development, poor acting. Even the special effects were nothing groundbreaking. Seriously, save your money. Worst movie I have seen in 2010.

Nov 13, 20100The tag-line for this film should be... Got ten dollars and 2 hours of your life to waste? Then come on in. Man I don't know what they were smoking when they made this movie but I hope it ended their screen writing career.
-
Nov 15, 20101I'm a huge sci-fi fan, but this movie left me with a feeling of emptiness. No storyline progression at all. A+ for special effects, but even the massive special FX budget couldn't make up for the horrible casting/acting. The end of the movie had me laughing. Such a waste of money - on all sides.

Nov 15, 20100Let's see. Let's take a hit like Independence Day, mix it with some really bad scifi from "movies" like District 9 and War of The Worlds (Tom Cruise edition), throw in just a twist from Paranormal Activity and we'll give it a myseterious name with a great trailer. Don't fall for it. Biggest waste of money I've spent on a movie in recent memory.

Feb 25, 20113The effects were surprisingly good for such a low budget film... But apart from that don't expect much from this film. It feels as if you were watching a bad tv show most of the time. Bad script, bad production, bad actors...

Nov 16, 20104Nothing was really appealing about this movie other than one scene where a ferrari gets crushed by a giant alien foot. Other than that this movie was disgusting, lame, and it had horrible acting and pointless scenes which all end up worth nothing. Don't go see this movie.
-
Nov 17, 20100Without doubt one of the worst films I have ever seen. WHO decided this should be made? Film is full of effects, no actual story and all set in a bloody apartment building, and the ending is actually beyond the ridiculous.
TERRIBLE AVOID. -

May 12, 20110Unwatchable BS. No storyline. No plot. Cheesy, schmultzy just plain bad. Can't help but feel sorry for he actors. DO NOT WATCH! As Boring As Staring At a White Wall. Can't call this rubbish Sci-fi. It's too insulting to the genre.
-
Nov 13, 20104Pretty boring at times. Almost dozed off at one point. Disappointing over all. As exciting as the trailers for this film looked I definitely wish I had waited for it to hit Pay Per View at home.

Nov 20, 20100This is the worst movie in history. Other than the last airbender. Between bad actors and even worse filming. This movie will go down in history as how to perform cinematic suicide.
-
Nov 17, 20100THIS MOVIE IS THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN....HANDS DOWN. I HAVE SEEN BETTER ON THE SY-FY CHANNEL. I WOULD BE ASHAMED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FILM AS AN ACTOR, DIRECTOR AND MORE SPECIFICALLY WRITER. SPECIAL EFFECTS DON'T MAKE A MOVIE - A STORY LINE WOULD BE HELPFUL - THIS ONE SUCKED.
-
Nov 20, 20100This is most definitely the worst movie I have ever seen. No depth of characters, little background, most of the movie is set in an apartment with scared people quivering for their life.

Dec 15, 20103As far as the suspense goes, it leads you to nowhere. Too many War of the Worlds references are included too. It has also the weirdest, silliest ending which is more, well, weird and silly than you imagine.

Jan 9, 20113Skyline...when you first watch the trailer you think, well hey this might be a good sci-fi movie..right? WRONG, bad actors, cheesy, horrible effects, idea is nothing new, feels like a knockoff of War of the Worlds or something. Didnt keep me guessing whats next, didnt hold my full attention it was just another sci-fi movie that people will forget exists in a year or less.

Jun 2, 20111This movie is so over the garbage, the actors really dint even felt that they were acting,looking like dorks that never did a movie. The sci fi aliens looked more like the 80's clay monsters, the end of the movie really made me laugh, plain horrible .

Jul 8, 20110Pretty retarded,bad story line and the alien crap and copied War of Worlds.The alien ships had bad design and the "burning light" crap was a horrible concept of the also horrible movie.
-
Jul 13, 20110Boring. Amateurish. And miles away from being frightening except maybe how frightening the acting was. It shows that all the budget went to the spaceships and nothing else. There's really not much more to say except that it was a waste of time really.
-
Jul 18, 20113Very disappointing, after seeing the trailers i thought this could be great, i should have listened to the critics though! Great CGI effects, bad script, bad acting, bad ending.
-
Jul 18, 20110Finally a movie that sucks more than Battlefield: Earth. This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen and I mean ever. There was nothing good about this movie, the plot was horrid, the camera work was poo, and the acting was horrid as well. I kept watching, hoping it was going to get better, but it didn't.

Nov 15, 20110I felt bored and distraught after about 30 minutes in. A decent synopsis Skyline had, but might just be better if it was made into a first person shooter video game.
-
Oct 20, 20110Yes it is a '0' and not worth rating at all. The worst plot with the some terrible action. It's like skipping through Independence Day but this Film is 100x worse (I like Independence Day, one of favourite movies which I would not skip through) but what the hell is this. It is good I didn't come to the Cinema to see this and it was on TV otherwise I would of been extremely pissed.

Aug 23, 20112I had to think a little bit before rating this move, was about to rate it 0 but I laughed so but so damn much that it'd be unfair being that mean! Seriously, I think it was worth the budget (yes, I dared go seeing it at cinema) since it was so hilarious I nearly wet my pants.
-
Nov 1, 20112Well in short, I feel like I've lost 92 minutes of my life. Skyline had a good idea and failed to make it work, bad camera angles, bad acting and riddled with cliches. And to be honest, the CGI wasnt even as good as I expected. The trailer of the film promised something more than this, but I was bitterly disappointed.

Sep 2, 20123Skyline has some of the worst acting ever put on screen. The only reason why it isn't a 0 is because of the twist at the end, so it wasn't predictable. Problem the ending was so discombobulated it made my head dizzy.
-
Dec 21, 20120Was this movie bad or what ? As if AVP was terrible, good grief look at what a mess this film was. The plot was basically was do what your not supposed to do and get killed for it.
-
Nov 28, 20123Not even the somewhat impressive special effects can sweep this movie's horrific acting and storytelling under the proverbial rug.

May 3, 20131"Movie of the year', seriously. That tagline is the WORST. It should be, WORST movie of the year. Disappointing that they made this movie, it should not have been made in the first place.

Nov 17, 201040The military eventually shows up to nuke the joint (L.A., incidentally), but there's no urgency, suspense or charm with all that back-row rattle.
-
11I'd use the term science fiction to describe Skyline but the movie decidedly lacks both science and fiction.

30Visual-effects wizards Greg and Colin Strause directed, showing more affinity for the city's steel and glass than for any of the characters.
