Let's see.

This is the worst movie in history. Other than the last airbender. Between bad actors and even worse filming. This movie will go down in history as how to perform cinematic suicide.

I won't spoil the ending for anyone foolish enough to go see this piece of crud, but it was one of the worst endings to a film I have ever seen, if not the worst. It was like someone came along and surgiclly removed anything that could have been considered plot, and replaced it with pointless filler. Also, the acting and directing were on a junior high school level. Expand

This is most definitely the worst movie I have ever seen. No depth of characters, little background, most of the movie is set in an apartment with scared people quivering for their life.

I cannot figure out how this movie made it to the big screen. Could have fooled me if you told me this was a high school project. Terrible movie, weak 1st grade plot, cheesy awful dialogue and acting, and fake artificial special effects II cannot figure out how this movie made it to the big screen. Could have fooled me if you told me this was a high school project. Terrible movie, weak 1st grade plot, cheesy awful dialogue and acting, and fake artificial special effects I could have done better with any movie making app on my computer. I regret not walking out of the theater within the first 20 minutes like I was about to but stayed out of sheer curiosity to see how bad it could be and laugh at how bad it was. I pray that God guides all the people involved with putting this atrocity in front of audiences to retire from the entertainment business and maybe try the fast-food industry. Expand

This movie took about two hours of my life that I can never get back.

Though the first scene of the movie is intriguing the movie quickly derails into a morass of hiding in a penthouse, being squashed by aliens, being sucked up into the sky by aliens, and a final scene that leaves the movie watcher wanting to throw a rotten tomato at the screen in disgust. The acting was marginal at best (the script gave them nothing to work with) and the CGI seemed absurd. All in all I would call this the worst movie I saw in all of 2010. STAY AWAY! Expand

I felt bored and distraught after about 30 minutes in. A decent synopsis Skyline had, but might just be better if it was made into a first person shooter video game.

There are a lot of jokes to be made about the twilight series. However, I think now its best to laugh unintentionally at the cheesy lines than the jokes made from this movie.

However, I think now its best to laugh unintentionally at the cheesy lines than the jokes made from this movie. I mean seriously, this Friedberg-Seltzer film (this film really suck) 'expects' us to laugh. The jokes don't come off as funny and the actors aren't necessarily helping even though they're only imitating the characters from twilight. It almost feels as if every joke had a guy whacking the drum. .3/5
*Jenn Proske is the only reason why anyone of you should go. She imitates Bella so perfectly. If you replaced Kristen Stewart with her, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Was this movie bad or what ? As if AVP was terrible, good grief look at what a mess this film was. The plot was basically was do what your not supposed to do and get killed for it.

Yay, Skyline! What did I think of it, its horse crap. Nothing much to say about this movie, watch it if you want a migraine.

Nothing much to say about this movie, watch it if you want a migraine. Skyline's irrelevant story line was so appalling, I wanted to get up and leave the theater. THE MOVIE IS BULL SH**! The movie has no plot other than the fact that there are a few characters that you won't give a CRAP about just running around in circles and hiding from overly aggressive aliens. There is no plot, all you have are a couple of generic characters that can't act if their LIVES depended on it, a plot line that was possibly written by a preschooler who completed the script an crayon, an ending that is possibly promoting a sequel that NO ONE wants and dialog that you would find among 5 year olds. SKIP THIS PIECE OF DOG CRAP! Expand

A sorry excuse for a film. "Skyline" was an abomination of a film, the acting was abismal, the camera work was terrible, the special effects were headache inflicting, the movie has no perks whatsoever. I'm capable of watching mindless popcornA sorry excuse for a film. "Skyline" was an abomination of a film, the acting was abismal, the camera work was terrible, the special effects were headache inflicting, the movie has no perks whatsoever. I'm capable of watching mindless popcorn flicks, but this movie wasn't even that, there is no action. The entire premise is as simple as this: a couple of people witness an alien invasion and in many failed attempts to flee their apartment building which is swarming with these generic brain craving aliens, they spend the entire movie running in circles while in hysterics. The movie is not worth a cent. No sci-fi movie goer will like this movie, neither will any other movie goer. Its one of the most terrible films I've seen in years and it should be avoided at all costs. Just don't watch this movie, stay away. Expand

I loved the trailer and I thought I would to see this movie, but this is probably my least favourite movie of all time. A completely unambitious movie with terrible performances, a plotline which wasn't even worth an hour and completely unlikable caricatures of characters.

This movie had nothing. No sort of reason to care for the characters, no sort of depth (even a little) from the story. The special effects while they may be great, they are certainly not a merit. It makes Bay's movies look like masterpieces. Also about the characters, not enough time spent on them to even feel like there was any characterization, let alone decent ones.
