Skylines (2020)
1/10
ANOTHER FORMULAIC HACK JOB
20 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I was quite disappointed with this flick. Rhona Mitra didn't have a real role, so her character was basically throw-away. Alexander Siddig gave the worst performance of his life ( he usually has an excellent screen presence ). The lead character was a 'Mary Sue' with glowing eyes and a weird killing hand ornament. The script didn't hold together. The character development was essentially non-existent. Too many movie tropes thrown in for no apparent reason. Lots and lots of bad acting. The film relied on lots of ugly special effects , but too many scenes were nearly black. One strange fight scene to another and a martial arts duel thrown in that made no sense and was completely unrealistic. The main driving force of the movie seemed to be deciding when stuff was going to start glowing blue or glowing red. The first Skyline movie was quite good. The second was OK. This one totally bit the dust. The ONLY thing I liked about this movie was Jonathan Howard. How is this boyo not an A-List actor ?
