The great success of the cheap but still produced very impressive DISTRICT 9 aroused the interest of the film industry an Alien invasions in the cinema. Be it in the coming WORLD INVASION: BATTLE LOS ANGELES discussed here or in the film SKYLINE, which is also produced with relatively favorable budget sci-fi film. Strouse, the brothers have earned name and rank, by they created the effects for big Hollywood productions of the mark 300th Her directorial debut, ALIEN VS PREDATORS 2, however, applies both among fans and among critics as set entirely in the sand, dramatic and theatrically unimaginative degenerated into a civil war between the Aliens and Predators to a single dark splatter orgy without rhyme or reason. With the independently produced SKYLINE they both now want to improve on their profile.
Human meets Alien!
Unfortunately SKYLINE committing the same mistakes as AVP2. The central core of an emergency situation - the human drama - is neglected completely and one wishes the unpleasant and illogical operating protagonists achieve the fastest possible Filmtod. In fact, the film gains momentum in the final third, mind you been here almost the entire cast and the great riot squad decimated ruled the silver screen. But until then it's a long way: Almost the entire first half of the film extends a tough introduction to the terrible unsympathsichen characters of this film. The restriction on the scene [The hotel] is a dramaturgical means, which is used in many films as a stage for an exciting board game, here comes this cinematic tool at all to use and the local restriction annoys the audience after some time only.
What is this? A blue light! [Quote from Rambo2]
missing Basically SKYLINE at its own charm, wit and suspense. The film uses the pattern of films: WAR OF THE WORLDS, CLOVER FIELD INDEPENDENCE DAY place, but not their own visual language or a clear dramatic line. The two directors just seem to be a filmmaker, then SKYLINE feels constantly like the intro to a video game. A series of effective heavy Alien and monster scenes with mandatory Bassgedröhne loud, long time no result yet thrilling film. SKYLINE in the world comes in - but that leaves you completely cold!
