Title: Skyline Movie in Theaters
Post by: viking73 on November 18, 2010, 02:09:41 PM
Not too bad. Aliens attacking Earth if you haven't heard of it. Some cool ACM flying scenes that I wish they did more of. When they fight back it reminded me of when we flew against the "claws". Wish we had that back with only 2 sides. Planes vs claws only. Like the challenge.

   The graphics seem a bit too much like Transformers. Too fast and furious.

Hmm...never heard of "Skyline" before...CGI looks mediocre at best. Like a trailer for the next Command&Conquer-title ...

Like Slash27 mentioned above me: BATTLE: LOS ANGELES looks more promising.
Maybe they will have some fighters, too... although the video clip is targetted to our helicopter-nerds  :D

All these special effects movies look the same. And the computer generated effects don't look real. The Batman movies stand out because they use real settings (ie. Chicago substituted for Gotham City) and Batman is actually played by an actor or stuntman, not some computer generated wimp like Spiderman or The Hulk. I like the old days when the movie makers would build full size and miniature sets and space ships like in Star Trek and the original Star Wars Movies (episode IV, V & VI). Jurassic Park also used a combination of robotic and CGI Dino's. The robotic Dino's were much more convincing.

I love when filmmakers feel the need to make every aircraft in a movie pull wingtip contrails, even when it appears to be in about a 1G turn at 300 mph.

Don't waste your money on seeing this movie. I was very disappointed last night when me and my GF saw it. The highlight of my last night? Laughing at the $330 pair of sunglasses at the mall.

They all look like "Independance Day" and the remake .version  of War of the Worlds, remakes to me.

Except that Independence Day and War of the Worlds actually were great movies. But Skyline was full of cartoonish computer animation complimented with cheesy dialogue from the characters and a dried-out, overused storyline.

I wasted 20 bucks on it, I wish I had waited for the dvd version of it.  special effects were pretty cool, but some parts were cheese.  like when they guy blows himself up with the stove. and I have movies with a never ending ending.

The movie made money at the box office.  Sequel in the works.
