Skyline (2010) (PART TWO)

jUST (oops, freakin caps lock button!) let me start over

Just in case you missed part one, you better click here right now and read it!!!

After so much wait and anticipation for me to finally see past the 20 minutes I hat already seen I should have just let it go! Definately not worth my time!!! There's a lot to say about this so it's a little longer than my usual reviews, so if you need to go to the bathroom or grab a drink go do it real quick!!

The big bad guy in this movie is a blue ray (blue ray... viral marketing by Sony? no thanks i fell for the big DVD scam already, who the heck wants physical media??) anyway... the bad guy is this blue ray that these insect ships that the director Brother Strause. (What kind of name is brother?? A college nick name?? Real professional dude...) stole from The Matrics. When you look at the Blue Ray you go all crazy and turn into like a half dog or something. These peoeple really need to look into those blue blocker sunglasses.

These aliens also eat peoples brains so they're like zombies too?? I Dunno. Also there is a part where one of the characters is having an affair with his maid. Uhm good job stealing a storyline from "Seinfeld".

The director also seemed to do everything he could do stretch this movie out as far as he could. The movie starts showing the blue rays first appear then goes back in time 15 hours and shows us this random party with some rich people and then shows the opening scene again. What the heck??? They also put several short scenes in slow motion for no reason other than to stretch this 30 minute idea into feature length.

Then after a bunch of nothing happens the director must have accidently found out about the fast faward feature on his video editing computer because before you know it we're treated to the sun rising in fast motion, then the events of the characters afternoon in fast motion. Must be real exciting to discover something that was prominently featured in the 1964 sitcom "THe Munsters".

You could really tell the director was making it up as they were going on. Just a bit after the halfway point the military comes and blows up the aliens and it was almost all over until the director, who seems to have a poor grasp on the films running time, realizes his turd is only 50 minutes long and suddenly decides the alien ship can rebuilt itself and suddenly we're back where we started.

Anyway the film carries on despite the audiences protest for another 30 minutes while the characters keep dwindling and becoming safe not safe back and forth. Suddenly the credits are rolling, but wait! They set it up for a sequel! These people must really have no idea what people want to watch.


Also the guy was slowly transforming into an alien during the movie until he truly was a big scary monster almost exactly like the movie "The Fly". It even had almost the same ending as the fly (the 80s version not the black and white one!!!)



No exageration... this could be from both "The Fly" and "Skyline" movie endings.

In conclusion this film seems to rip off not only THe Matrix, amd "The Fly", but "Seinfeld" and to a lesser degree "The Munsters". It is also a shameless vehicle to promote Sony's media format Blue Ray. Then to patch everything together they took story elements from "Independance Day" and Mars Attacks!". This is probably the least original thing I have every watched. This turd deserves my lowest possible score.** Two stars
