- 60EmpireKim NewmanEmpireKim NewmanTechnically ambitious, dramatically basic. Still, it's a major step up from an AvP sequel and delivers all the Saturday night whizz-bang and Sunday morning brain-ripping you could want.
- 38Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsTheir (The Brothers Strause) effects are pretty good, on a fairly limited budget. And that's about all you can say for Skyline.
- Beyond the dazzling "first contact" sequences seen in the trailers, Skyline is a spasmodic and incoherent shambles hampered by an astoundingly stupid screenplay.
- 25Boston GlobeWesley MorrisBoston GlobeWesley MorrisThe Strauses don't care about how to keep an audience. Their movie has no sense of suspense or dread - Skyline is an apocalypse movie that plods like one of Romero's zombies.
- 25The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceySo intent are the Strausses on showing off their visual chops, they leave the film's story, dialogue and acting in shambles.
- 25Orlando SentinelRoger MooreOrlando SentinelRoger MooreSkyline plays like an effects guru's resume reel, not a movie.
- 20MovielineStephanie ZacharekMovielineStephanie ZacharekSkyline is a piece of junk, even in a movie climate littered with expensive - though sometimes fun - junkiness.
