Movie Reviews

Movie Review from EmpireOnline.com

The brain-eaters from outer space are back, en masse, in Skyline – which has the sort of extensive special effects you’d expect from a big budget studio film wedded to the sort of production which toplines Eric Balfour and Scotty Thompson. Colin and Greg Strause have a background in visual effects on major pictures like Iron Man 2, Avatar and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, but their sole previous directorial effort was the hardly earth-shaking AVPR: Aliens vs Predator Requiem.

Movie Review from TimeOut.com

Let’s get one thing clear right from the off: ‘Skyline’ is a terrible, terrible movie. The dialogue is abysmal (‘Vaya con dios, you son of a bitch!’), the acting is even worse, the bulk of the story takes place in one LA penthouse and the plot makes absolutely no sense. For a good 45 minutes, very little happens: our heroes, Jarrod (TV veteran Eric Balfour) and his girlfriend Elaine (Scotty Thompson) arrive in LA for the birthday bash of their successful effects-designer pal Terry (Donald Faison), but just as they’re beginning to settle into the Hollywood lifestyle, wouldn’t you know it, aliens invade.

Movie Review from Movies.com

This pretty awful movie is from a team of visual effects-making brothers, Colin and Greg Strause, who’ve been making stuff look awesome for several years now. And they’re getting better as feature directors (their last one was the barfy AVPR: Aliens vs. Predator–Requiem). Now, when I say “better” I don’t mean that this one is any good. It’s just not as bad as AVPR. These guys love to make monsters and it shows, because the aliens are beautifully designed, like asymmetrical Frank Gehry buildings with tentacles. And the effects are impressively crushing, loud and fireballish.

Movie Review from Telegraph.co.uk

In Skyline, tentacled aliens make the odd, one could even say misjudged, decision to harvest the brains of everyone in Los Angeles. This besieging race look as if they’re doing well enough without the grey matter of the lead actors (Eric Balfour, Scottie Thompson). They elegantly float around, shining hypnotic blue lights into skyscrapers, and can even repair their mothership in a matter of minutes when it gets nuked to a crisp. All this is to say that the filmmakers, who go by the unavoidably silly name of The Brothers Strause, have put more thought into designing their invasion than scripting it; their background in visual effects (2012, Avatar) and previous directing credit (Aliens vs Predator: Requiem) make it entirely clear where these priorities lie.
