There’s this ridiculousness to Skyline at times, that some, well, maybe many won’t get. But we start on the basis of an alien invasion, so until CNN or Stephen Hawkins proves that this stuff can or will happen, let’s not scoff at the film’s ridiculousness just yet. Skyline is perfectly fine for what it is: a brainless, sci-fi, campy movie, that sometimes feels like a CG love letter to the stuff Roger Corman once produced in the 1970s. Ham-fisted heroes. Corny dialogue. Cool monsters. It’s a modern day low budget ode to the drive-in low budget movies. So again, some, if not most, will absolutely hate Skyline, while a few others will love its campy charm.
