Skyline

So I rented Skyline and had great hopes for the movie, but that really didn't happen.  Lets just say that it is a Scifi B movie with a bigger budget and I have seen better on SyFy.  So the movie is about a group of friends party all night and wake to find the world is being taken over by aliens and the rest of the movie is spent with them trying to figure it out and survive.  The aliens were a little strange you never really got a sense of what they were, there are different kinds but they are all powered by brains they harvest from humans.  Eric Balfour plays the main guy who gets infected somehow even though no else does by this light the aliens use and he starts gaining super human strength.  In the middle of this he finds out that his girlfriend is pregnant and the rest of the movie is spent trying to protect her which leads to a very bizarre ending where his brain is harvested but his brain manages to override the alien body and he trumps off to save his girl.  The other characters in the movie spend there time doing one of two things 1) Dying in stupid ways and 2) arguing about how to escape and survive and no one and I do mean no one had a good idea.  So the move was a disappointment but if you got a thing for scifi B movies go for it.
