Don't Look the Trailer for Skyline in the Eyes Unless You Want Aliens to Kill You
Another hour, another alien trailer. Hot on the heels of I Am Number Four -- and whatever the hell Krackoon is -- here comes longer look at Skyline, the District 9 meets Independence Day film from visual effects designers, the Strause Brothers. So, does Skyline have what it takes to be the next great alien invasion film?
Not likely. All over the world, alien ships invade major cities and suck up unsuspecting humans who dare to make eye contact with the flashy blue light emanating from above. Scary! Also: cheesy, thanks to the cast. The idea that Eric Balfour is playing the lead in a movie (any movie) seems much harder to swallow than alien invaders. Even though those ships look pretty cool...
VERDICT: Don't look into the light.

Ha, ha, ha! This looks about as good as Eight Legged Freaks.
Huh? The article alone makes my head hurt. Do I really want to watch the video?
agreed. that looked AWFUL.
You just know this was pitched as ID4 meets War of The Worlds meets Cloverfield. The only think I could of while watching the trailer was War of The Dragons. (Google it, I dare you).
When did CGI get so boring and repetitive?
I could only tolerate Balfour in a leading role in a gay porn movie. That might even be awesome. In everything else he seems somewhat out of place. He doesn't have this "saviour of the world"-vibe required for a film like this.
Such roles are made for guys like Dennis Quaid ( senior version) or Shia LaBeouf (target audience version).
Unlike ID4 this movie doesn't seem to have any comic relief in it. It looks like it is made to scare the living daylights out of you.
It does look realistic.
