This movie was pretty horrendous.. I'm a huge sci-fi guy and I really tried to enjoy it but.. oh god. I'm really actually staggered that this movie has as high a rating as it does.

It had a smidge of corn ball but nothing compared to the terminator movies. It wasn't predictable at all, creature features were original and their methods somewhat graphic to good effect .. I absolutely adored the Martial arts fighting brother and sister that we meet halfway through.. absolutely bad ass. Great catch phrases like, everything burns, effing Americans and finally effing Aliens were well delivered and not overdone. The child aspect was not trite, sacrine nor overly cliched like every dang show in media lately. Not once did we have to sit through the, mommy, mommy, mommy repeated at us like Hollywood usually does. The kid was for the most part, silent which was refreshing to say the least because we all know how Hollywood likes using children as sock puppets to preach to the adults in a film to promote whatever schlock their peddling, usually ultra liberal caa caa. Not to mention what Jean Claud Van Dam made a child actress say about the size of his wang for one of his films... ugh! OMIGOD! That was sickening. Yeah there was some basic tropes in it but never once did the film dwell in any of them.. they used the tropes to push the story forward and then abandoned them like the cheap ";:;'s" that they are. Tee hee. I genuinely liked this movie a lot, not Shakespeare but a good, original alien action flick that was totally enjoyable to watch. So I'm intentionally rating this a smidge higher than I normally would because of what I perceive to be unwarranted disapproval. Definitely give this film a shot if you like the genre.. if you don't like the genre then don't bother and why rate it if you don't anyhow.… Expand

The long-awaited continuation of the coolly-received science fiction movie. This is my guilty pleasure film, but continuation without the well-designed costumes and ships is, unfortunately, a huge disappointment. A movie to watch and forget.

Its a must for all Science Fiction lovers.… Expand

This movie gets an 8 because of three words - kung-fu alien fighting. Skyline was good and the sequel is an improvement. The outtakes at the end are hilarious. A very entertaining watch.

Beyond skyline is far better than the first original movie. the first half of the film is amazing 10/10, well directed, entertaining and with really good special effects. the second half of the film is a little bit weaker but not bad. overallBeyond skyline is far better than the first original movie. the first half of the film is amazing 10/10, well directed, entertaining and with really good special effects. the second half of the film is a little bit weaker but not bad. overall it a surprisingly good b movie.

An alien invasion, plenty of blood-gore-dismemberments and brains, a godzilla-size fight and a good dose of kung-fu. What more can you ask ? I just wish they made Star Wars late failure like this. Enjoyable and fun !!

It doesn't win any awards for originality, the plot is cliché driven and the effects are occasionally suspect, but overall I really enjoyed watching this. Firstly it doesn't take itself too seriously and the leads all put in a great job. Secondly it's well paced and often surprising. You start off thinking it's a movie about escaping from aliens as they attack a city. Then it's about sabotaging an alien spaceship. Then suddenly you're in the far east with a fresh set of characters for the finale. It kept me guessing as something new kept getting thrown into the mix. If you're looking for a well honed original story to leave you thinking days afterwards then don't watch this. But if you want an enjoyable popcorn flick then switch off your phone, get a six pack from the fridge, put your brain in a jar by the door, and treat yourself to a couple of hours of b movie popcorn fun.… Expand

Some cool aesthetics but this movie is mostly a bit of a farce in terms of story and screenplay.

I feel like this could have been so much better. I was expecting more alien invasion on a much larger scale and less of the typical cliche, tender, heartfelt moments of jibber-jabber among the cast.
