Skyline: First Rate, Spectacular Visual Effects That Highlight A Disappointing, Third Rate Story

Rating:

**1/2

By: Da’Mon Guy

     Skyline is moderately enjoyable, dubious narrative that utilizes some first rate visual effects to highlight the shortcomings of a mismanaged, tragic love story. This less than stellar tale unfolds in the midst of an alien invasion. The movie stars Eric Balfour (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre:2003), Scottie Thompson (Star Trek), Brittany Daniel (Little Man), David Zayas (The Expendables), and Donald Faison (Next Day Air).
A young couple travels to Los Angles to meet up with an old high school friend. Shortly after their arrival, LA is attacked by an alien invasion. The invaders possess the ability to abduct human as soon as you make eye contact with the light that these invaders produce.
