Universal Pictures recently released a new sci-fi/thriller movie "Skyline" into theaters a couple months ago. I just checked it out. While it was exciting to watch,all the action and "edge of your seat scenes" lead up to no payoff in the end. It was very odd. It stars: Eric Balfour, Donald Faison, Scottie Thompson,and Brittany Daniel.
The movie revolved around six partying males and females who have a really great time at a party during the night. However, the next morning, everything changes when weird lights and noises wake everyone up. They end up realizing this new,freakish light isn't a good thing. As a matter of fact, it controls everyone who looks at it,and takes them away to only God knows where.
As expected, the group of friends start to get scared and nervous. They come up with a plan to get to the car,and make a run for it. Unfortunately,they find out that plan isn't a good one because the huge alien monsters are everywhere,and they're not nice at all. One by One, the group of friends dwindle down to just two people Jarrod (Eric Balfour) and Elaine (Scottie Thompson).
They end up emerging as the main stars of the flick. However,they aren't victorious stars. They start running around everywhere,fighting off the giant creatures,along with the military forces that have been brought in to help fight the creatures.
Skyline showed a lot of graphic,"edge of your seat" moments,which included people getting sucked into the creature,people's heads being separated from their bodies,Jarrod fighting his heart out to try and save Elaine,lots of guns being fired,and bombs blowing up.
The film capped off with a very strange ending that revealed what the aliens were actually doing,but with absolutely no victorious payoff at all. It was a very odd way to end a high action, thriller flick like this. When I was leaving the theater, I heard one lady say, "I want my money back." It definitely was not a typical ending for a thriller movie,and was a bit disappointing for me. However, everything before that, was really cool to watch,and kept me on the edge of my seat. I gave this movie a B-.
