Technically ambitious, dramatically basic. Still, it's a major step up from an AvP sequel and delivers all the Saturday night whizz-bang and Sunday morning brain-ripping you could want.

This sci-fi thriller manages to blend genuine suspense with unintentional laughs.

I have no idea why people hate on this movie. Before it came out, big hollywood was hating on it because it was a low budget SciFi film. A critic friend of mine even told me he reviewed the movie without watching just because he heard it was bad but then I watched it on BLUERay I was wondering WHAT THE FUNK? THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME! It has action, a story, the acting was no where as bad as critics would lead you to believe (in fact I think it was above average for a sci fi flim) So the movie had no big stars in it.... SO WHAT??? This movie was fun and BETTER then a lot of SciFi movies that cost 10 as much to make. I hope they make a sequal to this movie just to throw it in the face of big hollywood.

Skyline was ridiculous. The acting was hilarious. The aliens looked cool. The ending was a shocker, but not in a good way. This belongs in the sci-fi channel.

Their (The Brothers Strause) effects are pretty good, on a fairly limited budget. And that's about all you can say for Skyline.

The Hollywood Reporter
Beyond the dazzling "first contact" sequences seen in the trailers, Skyline is a spasmodic and incoherent shambles hampered by an astoundingly stupid screenplay.

So intent are the Strausses on showing off their visual chops, they leave the film's story, dialogue and acting in shambles.

It's finally here: The most boring alien-invasion movie ever.

I'd use the term science fiction to describe Skyline but the movie decidedly lacks both science and fiction.

Bah c’est marrant, ce film a un nom de bagnole ! pourtant… on ne voit aucune Skyline dans ce film. Mais il y a une jolie Ferrouille (360 Modena, on dirait… mais je suis pas expert en ferrailleries, cela dit). L’affiche est assez parlante : il s’agit d’un « Independence Day » du pauvre en somme. Les envahisseurs sont là (il avait raison, Vincent !) et ils vous aspirent ! et c’est carrément vachement mieux que n ‘importe quel « ID » ou autre connerie démoulée par le baltringue Roland Emmerich (sauf « 2012 », tout de même mais je dis ça de mémoire, faut dire qu’il en a fait des merdouilles, cette andouille !). En outre, aucun « Will Smith » n’est là pour salir le film et le tirer vers le bas, tout en bas, jusqu’au tréfonds de la nullité nulle à chier ! Les effets spéciaux ont mobilisé tout le budget et c’est de la belle ouvrage, ma foi. Du coup, la distribution est peu ou pas connue et un brin à la masse… (mais y a pas Will le grand con, non, non) et la réalisation pour sa part, n’est pas cut mais s’avère un peu trop move… Le temps d’exposition aurait gagné à être plus court mais ensuite, on ne s’ennuie pas le moins du monde et ce, jusqu’à la fin ! une fin un peu… étrange qui fait penser à un autre film de SF, d’ailleurs. Mais soit. Un film certes nanaresque mais tout à fait divertissant !

Look it's a fun and dumb popcorn flick, it's actually got some pretty cool ideas and I think that's why it got 2 sequels. I do know this.. love it or hate it, it's got one of the best endings ive ever seen in a Sci-Fi movie and makes me very interested in what happens next. Turn your brain off, make some popcorn, have some fun. 6.5/10

Skyline was a very boring movie but in other opinion is very absurd sense , such as that can not win if these aliens ?, This is an insult , that causes us to demand to do some sequels , and the second stay we expected

Not even the somewhat impressive special effects can sweep this movie's horrific acting and storytelling under the proverbial rug.
