Well, it certainly looks interesting. I'll give it that.
I actually saw Skyline recently and I was very, very dissapointed. There were still some good alien versus man moments and huge explosions and such but it lacked any drama and suspense and was over before it began.
Thing is, it was a small movie focusing only on the limited perspective of one group of people, trapped in an apartment complex. But the trailer itself, was selling itself as this huge epic scale thing with escaping the city and worldwide disaster and news reports and the army doing battle and we didn't get it.
Instead it was constrained and despite a few moments, it ultimately felt rather cheap. It didn't help that the movie ended just as it was getting good and that the characters were about as charismatic as a bowl of moldy cereal.
Still I got to see filthy humans being destroyed for committing the atrocity of continuing to exist. That's something.
So yeah, kind of a let down. I'm hoping this new one is much better though, I reckon we need at least one really good alien invasion movie to come out in the near future, and this could well be that one.
... DIE HUMAN SCUM!!!
