    Skyline

    This is one movie to avoid. An alien invasion plot where if you look at the pretty blue light you get sucked away. I didn't care for the characters, a good chunk of time at the beginning of the movie is wasted on some lame character development via a flash back. 15 hours ago....

    I just checked the run time and it says 94 minutes! Holy crap, take out the wasted 15 min of initial character development and the 5 to 7 min of credits. You have about 74 min of material, with some other edits it would be down to an hour pretty easy.

    Here's the end, and I'll put in a spoiler tag just incase somebody doesn't want to know.

    The main character and his girlfriend get sucked into the alien ship. The main character has been infected and transformed into an alien, but hears his pregnant girlfriend screaming and comes to her rescue. So the end scene is the girlfriend realizing it's the boyfriend that has been turned into an alien. End scene and credits...

    Basically the ending was a setup to launch into a second movie.

    Luckily it was a previously view purchase, so only wasted like $7.

    Oh, yes, this movie started and I thought, "ah, this one could be good!"

    ... and then it steadily went downhill. One of the most stupid endings ever.

    Hated it.

    Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

      This is by far the best transition from an older movie to blu-ray!

      I received this blu-ray box as a gift a few weeks ago. Hadn't really had a chance to watch it until last night. I watched Alien and Aliens (the second movie) last night. Man... this was a very impressive transfer to...

      Man... I just finished watching it and I'm completely 100% disappointed! Please note that my favorite movie of all time is Aliens. So I'm in favor of liking a movie that has Aliens in it.

      Story line continues from the end of Aliens vs Predator where they show a new hybrid burst out...

      Rented it.
      Typical Fox movie...

      I enjoyed the Alien movies, so figured I'd get this to watch.
      Corny plots, lines, characters, music, etc.

      A waste of time.
