Beyond
Skyline 5/10
This
movie made negative money at the box office. It is not super hard to
understand why though. Beyond Skyline is a sequel to Skyline which I
remember existing but id not watch. I think a few other movies with
the same premise came out around the same time where L.A was being
attacked by aliens. This movie was not terrible and what made it
enjoyable was the star Frank Grillo who is my new Steven Seagal but
in better shape and without all the controversy. Grillo is a police
detective named Mark Corley going to pick up his fuck up of a son
from jail. His car does not work so they take a subway train.
Explosions start happening and they have to bounce.
They
check topside and see that people are looking into a blue light and
then being Raptured into the sky to a big ass ship. Mark's son
ignores everything he says and gets zapped but saved. There are
residual effects though. They confront one of the aliens and these
things are big as hell. The smallest ones are like eight feet tall.
After much fighting and battling and helping a blind Huggybear they
are yanked onto the ship. Turns out the aliens rip out human brains
and jam them into these suit which are the aliens. Except for one
with red lights instead of blue that remembers who he is and helps
them fight back and escape.
They
land in an Asian jungle and the cast of The Raid are there. They are
enemies at first but start helping each other because the other
options are fighting cops or aliens alone. Oh, they also have this
little girl that was just born but is, like, 10, a day later. Alien
shit. Don't ask questions. She is the baby born from a little in the
first movie. They fight and fight. People sacrifice themselves for no
reason. Mark's son who was brain snatched is an alien now. It is
funny how the aliens seem to cross paths with who they knew when they
were human. This is a super cheese fest but I liked it. Just went
about twenty minutes too long and the first half of the movie does
not resemble the second at all.
