SKYLINE

RYAN: I love science fiction and I actually liked the trailer for this movie so I was psyched to see it late last night.

CAROLINE: The screening was at 11pm and I chose to sleep instead. Should I regret that decision?

RYAN: Abba-solutely not in the least at all!

CAROLINE: I figured as much. But why not get into the thick of it anyway?

RYAN: The script is for shizz. The story is all over the place for 95% of it and the dialogue is some of the most cliche crap you’ve ever heard.

CAROLINE: Ew. That’s just rude.

RYAN: I know. And to top that off, it has some shlock editing and typical hot casting and it’s just lame.

CAROLINE: I only know Donald Faison in it from TV’s Scrubs.

RYAN: And Clueless. He’s not in it that much, if you know what I mean…

CAROLINE: Honey, say no more! How are the effects?

RYAN: They’re pretty good except for one alien that looks like it’s a big vagina eating people. And the story is so stupid. There’s global alien invasion and abduction without explanation or reason that it’s just, like, a zombie movie but with “aliens attack” instead.

CAROLINE: That sounds like my worst nightmare.

RYAN: And some people were even walking out!

CAROLINE: That says something – when they walk out of a free screening.

RYAN: The very end of the film tries to offer some lore as to what’s occurring but it’s so cheesy and ridonk that it couldn’t be redeemed at that point.

— BOTTOM LINE —

RYAN: It’s a poor story with some flashy effects. The aliens look like robot/fish halfbreed machines that just didn’t have much impact. It tries hard to be a West coast Cloverfield but fails miserably.
