Mercifully this movie is short. Even as it is short, it is much too long. In short, Earth is invaded by bug-creature/space-dinasaurs/alien-mongrels with definite orc qualities, apart from that the larger one seems self repairing. Of course earth defenses are over-run in 3 days. While the larger ones are self-repairing, the smaller ones are killable by axe. And while earth forces are putting up token resistance, earth seems to have developed scripted explosions and falling aircraft parts that avoids maiming the main characters of the story in explosions in the range of 10 meters. But this is nothing to the deficiency of the unstopable invaders that create indestructible war ships, manage space flight, but can't equip photographic arms with 350 degree lenses.If you still think this is a good a worthy film to spend your time on, please remember the Internet saying "What has been seen, cannot be unseen." I am talking about the ending of course. Why someone in any fram of mind would think that spending the rest of your miserable life in a cell surrounded by dead or dying people waiting to be harvested is a hopeful ending should be beyond any rational thinking being. But apparently not, and it is probably the only derense that works against the aliens - poison them with idiot brains and ideas....The ending deducts 2 from the total score.

This is a good movie.... it is different and does not spell everything out for the movie viewer who is encourages to figure out why the aliens are invading ..... and really it is pretty simpleYet it seems that many people did not understand the purpose of the invasion and why the film was made the way it wasThis movie give me some hope that Hollywood can still produce a good movie rather then the rubbish that they normally churn outIgnore the reviews and watch the movie

I'll just say this - My son and I went to see this when it was released and we love scifi, aliens, adventure, CGI flashy lights and twisty plot lines.We use skyline for the basis for judging all other scifi movies - when I say "baseline" I mean the ZERO POINT - and so far nothing has sucked as much as skyline. nothing.I'm giving you back 1 hour and 37 minutes of your life. you're welcome.:)

Typical Sci-Fi earth invasion movie recipe:Take 1 x advanced civilisation Add various degrees technology far advanced than anything made by man Make it seem as though humanity is about to be wiped out Add some Earth saving hero who likes nothing more than kicking alien ass Add a dumb ass love interest to whom the hero says a soppy goodbye before saving the day. Make the same advanced civilisation is thick as two planks by either being susceptible to a hacker, a simple Trojan horse manoeuvre, or just stupidly wander around without space suits leaving themselves open to an infection.Close with a dumb speech about the heroic defeat of the Aliens.I actually caught the last 45 minutes of this and was quite frankly blown away that the makers went where they did and the method used to go there.I then rented the Blu Ray and watched it from the beginning and I was not disappointed. Skyline is now one of my favourite Sci Fi movies.If you enjoy Sci Fi , ignore the negative reviews and watch this. You'll be pleasantly surprised.If on the other hand you think The Transformer franchise is Sci-Fi then steer clear of this one.
