Hard to believe a film with such a good visual aspect contains a history of such a low level and a script written so poorly made. This science fiction film shows the great skill of its managers in the field of special effects but also its ability to deliver a fast-paced absurdity, and when it seems to have hit bottom, outdoes himself. None of his players get out minimally positively, although not entirely responsible for it.

A couple is visiting Los Angeles in the apartment of a friend when a mysterious blue lights descend from the sky. Absorb these people into the light and are controlled by an alien race of hostile intent, which is capturing the entire human population.

"Skyline" is a prefect example of how a technology more accessible and affordable, it is now possible to make a movie with special effects attractions for a limited budget. This allows not only cheapen the great productions but also opens the door for lesser-known directors and with fewer resources in the commercial cinema. One of the possible consequences, something evident in this film is that playing too much with digital effects can also be a distraction and to forget that one of the most important foundations of a film is its script.

This story written by Liam O'Donnell and Joshua Cordes is the worst he has seen action movies in many years. You look where you look, there is nowhere to save her. In comparison, makes " mercenaries "of Sylvester Stallone a worthy contender for the Nobel for literature. It is not only the simplicity with which the characters have been built, or the sad attempt to give a little human drama at the beginning and obviate the first opportunity, are all elements of the script that have a poor level, but especially highlights each election narrative twist of history and some powerful dialogues that include all the worst lines in the history of cinema within ninety minutes of footage from "Skyline."

The movie only has great appeal and it is digital effects. Are striking and are actually realized, with an aesthetic that could have made a better movie script fairly entertaining. The two directors, the brothers Strauss, are specialists in this field and have worked on visual effects for films like " Avatar "and" The Book of Eli "and shown in this film its great capacity in this area but his skills as directors are more questionable, particularly his little common sense to shoot the script they had in their hands.

They have not managed a minimally acceptable performances of their players, but with such material and Anthony Hopkins have been able to deliver something to some entity. The cast is full of faces on television and is headed by Eric Balfour , showing many limitations. Donald Faison ("Scrubs") is the only thing I come out unscathed from this test and David Zayas (" Dexter ") presents its signature application to be considered for the award for worst actor of the year.

It only really worth watching this film is special effects, which can be fully enjoyed without watching the film with its trailer, which is tricky not only for using images and approach that the film contains, but do believe that "Skyline" is an entertaining film better than it really is.
