Skyline review by RP
Cheesy with dire acting - yet I sort of liked it

Set largely in a Los Angeles luxury apartment block and looking out on the city, this film tells the story of an alien invasion by implacable tentacled beings in invincible spaceships who depopulate LA to harvest human brains. So, every sci-fi fan will enjoy it, right? Well, this film has received some of the worst reviews that I've ever read for a recent film – yet I sort of liked it.
It's cheesy, the acting and dialogue are dire, and the storyline seemingly plagiarised from a combination of 'Independence Day', 'War of the Worlds', 'Cloverfield' and 'District 9' [Aside: although I'm very thankful that 'Skyline' doesn't have Will Smith or Tom Cruise in the cast, which would have made things infinitely worse]. But the special effects are really rather good.
If you can put up with the silly backstory of the characters, the film is a run-of-the-mill alien invasion film – just switch off your brain while watching. You'll probably hate it, but I'll give it 3/5 stars. I really have seen worse...

Maybe if there's nothing else

I'd have to say it certainly wasn't awful. Just not a good movie. I just couldn't take it seriously when I kept thinking about the guy playing Tray also being Chris Turk in Scrubs. Avoid, but not at all costs...

This has to be the most poorly written and acted film in a long time. Frankly, watching paint dry would be more interesting.
