Sometimes I wonder why I let my husband have access to the movie queue at Netflix. He adds movies that have no business coming to our house. 🙂
This weekend was another one of those movie days… Skyline had arrived a week or two ago, but we finally popped it in Saturday night.
The movie features a relatively unknown cast, other than Donald Faison (from Scrubs). The movie begins with Jarod and his pregnant girlfriend heading out to LA (from New York) to see his old time friend and his wife. It’s Jarod’s friend Terry’s birthday and they all party through the night.
In the wee hours of the morning strange blue lights descend upon LA. The lights seem to hypnotize anyone who looks directly at them, and leads them to an alien space craft.
Jarod looks into the light but is stopped by his friend and girlfriend, the rest of the movie is badly written, and badly acted attempts to escape the aliens invading the country.
The plot is predictable, and a bit ridiculous. I didn’t care about the characters, even enough to hate the “bad” ones. This movie was seriously a waste of 2 hours of my life… and I wish I’d fallen asleep on the couch before it started. 🙂
Sorry to start the movie reviews off with such a negative review, but I’m not going to lie and try to get you to watch such a terrible movie.
I rated this one 1 star in our Netflix queue, because I don’t think I could give it a 0 stars… if I could have, I would have.
