Skyline Review

Skyline is a science-fiction thriller movie directed by the Strause brothers (Colin Strause and Greg Strause: their company Hydraulx has provided visual effects for Avatar, Iron Man 2, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and 300).

The story takes place in a Los Angeles high rise where a small group of survivors brave a mysterious attack of otherworldly origins. The cast includes Eric Balfour, Donald Faison, Scottie Thompson, and Brittany Daniel.

The trailer:



Skyline, if not always successful, refashions the modern alien invasion motif as the hopeless siege that it should be. It does have a wonderfully messed-up twist ending.
