Nonureva Really Surprised!

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

shieldfire Mercifully this movie is short. Even as it is short, it is much too long. In short, Earth is invaded by bug-creature/space-dinasaurs/alien-mongrels with definite orc qualities, apart from that the larger one seems self repairing. Of course earth defenses are over-run in 3 days. While the larger ones are self-repairing, the smaller ones are killable by axe. And while earth forces are putting up token resistance, earth seems to have developed scripted explosions and falling aircraft parts that avoids maiming the main characters of the story in explosions in the range of 10 meters. But this is nothing to the deficiency of the unstopable invaders that create indestructible war ships, manage space flight, but can't equip photographic arms with 350 degree lenses.If you still think this is a good a worthy film to spend your time on, please remember the Internet saying "What has been seen, cannot be unseen." I am talking about the ending of course. Why someone in any fram of mind would think that spending the rest of your miserable life in a cell surrounded by dead or dying people waiting to be harvested is a hopeful ending should be beyond any rational thinking being. But apparently not, and it is probably the only derense that works against the aliens - poison them with idiot brains and ideas....The ending deducts 2 from the total score.

omendata Cannot for the life of me understand the low rating but I presume it is because of the more true to life ending and lack of the usual clichéd American happy ending.For a low budget movie this one pulled out all the stops and is in my top ten of alien invasion movies.This is what would happen if aliens arrived - no schmaltzy good guys win in the end and that's what makes this a true classic as it veered away from the usual story lines and did its own thing. If an alien invasion force were able to navigate space to come to earth we truly would be ended - Just ask Stephen Hawking!Loved the main characters too and for the budget in which it was made it has to be commended. The truly original special effects; even the sound effects which were novel and not stolen from some other movie this deserves its place in the all time scifi top 50!

mindbird This is a juicy SF movie far better than a lot of big budget junk. It's as if people into science fiction were actually involved in its production. It begins typically -- pretty young things are partying when trouble starts to interfere, but it improves and then ends on an unusual and haunting note. Action fans AND SF fans should find it satisfying. If you see it, you will likely want to see it again.

legbreaky I watched this one back in 2010 on a crappy old TV and I loved it, while others continued to bash this movie.... So watched it again last year, on a better 55" and with a skyline 1080P resource instead of the crappy DVD + CRT combination back then.Anyway, I loved it again and just because it's not a typically Hollywood, action hero movie, it's is rated so low by many. I cannot think of something else. If you have some common sense, this movie is just way better dan the too high rated movies like Battleship, Battle LA, that movie with that guy Tom Cruise (2005).. all with real action heroes, kicking aliens arses.. Aliens who are able to travel the distances, land on earth, sucking up resources and people like we stamp on ants.. But on the end are just kicked in the arse by some real time action hero with a battleship from 1942, or whatever.. No way.. Skyline should have been rated with at leat 8 stars, because it is a true SciFi how it should be. Realistic and ends up pretty bad, but open. This movie got me right away when the blue light visitors came to hunt. No talking, no communication, just destruction of humans is what they want. The world would end at that moment aliens like them would visit us. No chance, just hands down on your knees and let it come... Skyline 2 should be next, but I think the makers are afraid because Movies are mostly watched by braindead sheeple.. Give me a break and shout it out for skyline2.. But on the other hand, skyline 2 has no further meanings, humanity is gone and all we have is an Alien worker with brains of an human survivor trying to protect is wife and offspring. And should be overrun anyway.. So we all know how it will end up... Well done and hands down for the makers.. be a thinker, not a follower.. This one is one of my top 5 scifi movie all times.
