Overview

Skyline is a visually striking alien invasion thriller that takes the “end of the world” concept to an intimate level — showing global catastrophe from the balcony of a Los Angeles high-rise. While the movie didn’t initially win over critics, it has since gained a cult following for its impressive visual effects and bold sci-fi concepts created on a surprisingly low budget

When Jarrod (Eric Balfour) and his girlfriend Elaine (Scottie Thompson) travel to Los Angeles to visit a friend, their trip quickly turns into a nightmare. In the middle of the night, strange blue lights descend from the sky, mesmerizing anyone who looks at them. Those who do are instantly drawn toward the light — and then vanish.

As the city falls under siege from alien forces, the group barricades themselves inside a luxury apartment building, watching as the world outside collapses. Every attempt to escape reveals more about the terrifying invaders — and humanity’s small, desperate hope for survival

Critical Reception

Upon release, Skyline received mixed-to-negative reviews for its plot and dialogue, but audiences were captivated by the spectacle. Over time, it became a cult favorite among sci-fi fans, spawning two sequels:

• Beyond Skyline (2017) – a more action-driven follow-up starring Frank Grillo and Iko Uwais.

• Skylines (2020) – the third entry expanding the universe even further.

• Why You Should Watch

  If you love intense alien invasion stories, creative visuals, and high-concept sci-fi made on a tight budget, Skyline deserves a spot on your watchlist. It’s a reminder that ambition and creativity can sometimes outweigh star power and massive studio funding.
