Skyline

Rating: M
Released by Roadshow Entertainment

It's alien invasion time - again.

A trip to LA to celebrate a friend's birthday ends in absolute chaos for Eric Blafour and Scottie Thompson's Jarrod and Elaine.

After a good night out, celebrating with Terry (Donald "Turk from Scrubs" Faison), the gang awakes to find bright blue hypnotic lights raining down over the city and huge machines invading the city.

As they try to escape, it becomes clear their chances to survive are limited - as are mankind's.

Skyline is an unmitigated missed opportunity of a film - replete with some C List actors and some great FX, it's a weird combination which never quite gels.

It's clear the directors are FX geniuses and wizards because the initial shots of the skyline and alien invaders is quite impressive. Less so is the story - which simply becomes a pick off the heroes and see who survives kind of plot.

That said - it's got to be seen for the unbelievable final sequences which depict life within the spaceships themselves. Simply jaw dropping - and not in a good
way

Extras: Deleted scenes, extended scenes, commentary - very little enticing.

Rating: 3/10
