Watched this last night, the beginning of the film was quite promising the idea was typical but the ending was so painfull. A couple actually left half way all in all 3/10. Waste of 5.10 !!!!

You know, ill actually agree with this, the acting isnt great, the dialogue is naff, the effects are a bit ropey in places but i'm starting to warm to it, im actually baffled by the vitriol this film is getting like everyone is mad at the film makers for deliberately making a crap film, get real, what film maker 'wants' their film to suck!?
The acting aside (which was pretty cheesy throughout from actors that otherwise are not known for their crap acting!) the special effects were very good and the sounds were good. I always make a habit of commenting on how the sounds in movies added to my viewing (dis)pleasure and the sounds in Skyline were pretty good especially the aliens when they "WJNponfdpnefupwhnfeuepanh!".
Ultimately it's a movie that could have:
A) Had a better script.
B) Had a better director.
It had potential but that wasn't realised! Still, I enjoyed the special effects.

I don't listen to reviews or peoples views, I watched Skyline and enjoyed it all you need from a Sci fi is aliens in and this had plenty.
I watched Inception after everyone on these forums and reviews saying how amazing it was and I thought it was average, just like the Dark Knight everyone went on about that and I didn't like it, in the end the only judge of a film can be yourself.

I thought it was ok, not great but watchable, as for the films that warrant 10/10 there are only 2 in my books.
Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.

Saving private ryan.
Yeah the acting wasnt that great. I just mainly enjoyed it for watching how from one normal day something weird happens and watched the process of the aliens invading and stuff which i found fun to watch. I could say the acting sucks and dont watch it and that the matrix creatures are basically what the aliens are in this but still. I enjoyed it. Nice new sci fi that had a basic one day aliens came and we try to survive and all hell breaks loose and we basically lost "but" at the end. Which imo was nice. I mean its not as if we have a lot of choice of sci fi these days is it.
I did like the aliens and the fighter section of the film where you think oh it might work and all that. Thought the brains thing was weird but interesting.
Overall id say
Acting - 5
Story - 6
Effects - 8
Sound - 6 or 7
Overall about a 7.5

Saw it last weekend, thought it was rather good given the measley budget it had behind it. Loved the special effects, couldn't care less about the acting talent. The ending was completely daft though but at the end of the day I enjoyed it.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
10) Don't be the only black guy in a condo full of white people. You'll die.
9) Having a dog will only save you if you're in a Roland Emmerich movie--NOT a Roland Emmerich ripoff.
8) You can use the same body design as the Independence Day aliens if you paint them black and replace the face with a sideways mouth.
7) Make sure the lighter works before you hit the gas.
6) Aliens bent on planetary genocide will nonetheless spare a woman only a couple of weeks pregnant.
5) Even if you're facing annihilation, it's okay to bitch your boyfriend out when you find pictures of him kissing another girl.
4) If you're terrified of aliens seeing you through the giant penthouse windows, don't go into the hall. Just pull the blinds or tape up bed sheets (not conspicuous at all!) and hang out as you normally would.
3) When you're spying on other apartments with a telescope, you have no right to complain about what you see there.
2) Looking at a nuclear blast through a telescope will not fry your eyes. Nor will the shockwave and heat ripple from said nuclear blast do any noticeable harm to you.
1) Sometimes the aliens win. HELL YEAH!
