The aliens look better than ever, Morgan delivers just the right kind of dry-witted action heroics, and Skylines takes the trip to the stars that the franchise has been promising. Read full review

Every bit of this movie yearns to be on the same proverbial shelf as something like Bay “Transformers” or Anderson’s “Resident Evil” films, but it doesn’t do enough to carve out its own space. An alien planet shouldn’t look this rote; same goes with the life-or-death action that happens on it. Read full review

The first two movies are packed with “I can’t believe that just happened!” moments. The third one instead chains together a series of “Oh yeah, I’ve seen this before” scenes. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

The players give it their best, as tedious exercises like this are rarely the fault of the cast. The fight choreography rises to “adequate.” The effects are OK — mostly — a planet overrun with “pilots,” another filled with semi-visible alien versions called “shadow creatures. Read full review

This movie was absolutely amazing, I'm actually disappointed that is it is the final one of the trilogy.

Finally a decent sci-fi action movie (which isn't just a totally unrelated drama or political manifest with some sci-fi background occasionally), it might not have a perfectly crafted plot in places but you see how hard they tried to make it good and they succeeded.

Great installment in a surprisingly entertaining trilogy. Worthwhile the watch.

This film takes everything great from the previous 2 installments and really pushed those few elements in what is the best of the 3 films. Skylin3s is a fun and enjoyable action/sci fi film Lindsey Morgan is a great lead and a fan favorite in the genre with her badass portrayal of Raven in the 100.

I've seen all three; this is by far the best. If you like sci-fi FX and can tolerate sci-fi tropes, this is kind of Tomb Raider in Space. The female hero's journey works for me. Writing and acting is a few notches above TV movie, except physical sets and VFX which are close to AAA. TheI've seen all three; this is by far the best.

D: The film's finished
P: Cool, is at least as good as the first two? Oh, and what's the runtime?
D: Yeah, it takes a bit of a different direction though, but you'll love it. P: That's great, how long is it? D: It has great SFX, we've switched from Independence Day to Stargate as a theme.D: The film's finished
P: Cool, is at least as good as the first two? Oh, and what's the runtime?
D: Yeah, it takes a bit of a different direction though, but you'll love it.
P: That's great, how long is it?
D: It has great SFX, we've switched from Independence Day to Stargate as a theme. Also crammed in all those Aliens references you wanted.
P: Super. You seem to be avoiding questions about it's length though?
D: How to you mean?
P: You know, runtime, length, duration, how long does my bladder have to hold out since we don't have intervals now?
D: Ah, well, it's a little over 3,600 seconds.
P: You mean an hour?
D: No, well, yeah, okay. It is. But it does everything it needs to. Honest.
P: Dude, the third instalment has to be be the longest - we've really got to be pushing bladder control here! The studio demands it.
D: Well, I've got nothing else....
P: How about we hire someone to direct a really high quality first half that won't feel like it's been crammed in at all?
D: Yeah, cool. Can we keep the same dialog writer though?
P: What, you mean the fella who wrote "There's no use fighting it", "Now I am become death", "We're not in Kansas anymore", "I have to finish this myself" and other such classics?
D: Yeah, that's him!
P: Okay, whatever. But what about that line "Between your serum and my ship we have enough power now to cure everyone."?
D: What do you mean?
P: So, how does Rose know about the Serum?
D: Well, um, you know, she just does, she has alien super powers or magic or something....
P: And how does the doc know about Rose's ship?
D: Well, err, again, ah, ok, okay, hmm...
P: Look, never mind. Folk will love it anyway - it's proper action filled, disengage brain B-Movie fodder like the first two.
D: We also have a load of outtakes in the end titles - does that help?
P: Hell yes, why didn't you mention that before? We'll just get a temp to churn out the first half - an outtake reel fixes everything!
D: what about the critics - what will they think?
P: "There's no use fighting it" maybe? Oh, look, they'll probably think it's arty or something - we've got the acting legend James Cosmo in a staring role after all!
D: Who?… Expand

I'm shocked this became a trilogy but I can understand why. Liam O’Donnell also directed the first sequel, and I have to say that that one was way more rewarding than this one, even within its range and its own limitations, something that it doesn't achieve.

Nothing better to watch/weekend film.
