Film making

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 come to emerge as the main stars of the film,but not victorious ones. They run around everywhere,trying to fight off the big creatures,along with the armed forces that have been brought in to fight the monsters.

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 movie ended with a very strange conclusion,which revealed what the aliens were doing on their spaceship,but it had absolutely no victorious payoff at all for the two friends who were left. It was a very odd way to end a high,action thriller such as this. When I tried to exit the theater, I heard a lady say, “I want my money back.” It definitely was not a typical ending for a thriller movie,and was pretty disappointing for me. However, everything before that was really cool to watch,and it was never boring the entire time. I gave this movie a B-.
