Skyline 3

[Andrew NDB]

I never would have imagined they'd make a part 3. Apparently it's called "Skylin3s"?

I really dug part 1. Part 2 was remarkable for what it was and its limited budget and almost total reliance on practical effects. Some things seem "cheap" compared to the first one, but not bad.

I only saw the 1st which I own on Blu-ray.

For a low budget movie. The FX were pretty good. The first movie was directed by these people who are VFX experts.

The movie had an unique approach for the alien invasion. Instead of these alien ships coming down and attacking the cities. They just came out and abducting all humans for there brains.

And plugging the brains directly into their biomechanical bodies, to drive them. We never actually ever even meet an alien, per se.

So instead of Galactic Policing (The Day The Earth Stood Still) or Earth's resources (Independence Day) or reproduction (Alien/Species), or land (District 9 / Alien Nation), it's human brains.

Cool. I'm in. Let the download commence.

I guess it's out... now! Not sure where "officially."



Bashir from DS9 is a general in it. Looks to be in a lot of it.

I have never heard of this series before. Looks like the second one bombed hard, so why make a third?

Not sure how the 2nd one could "bomb hard"... it went straight to video and Netflix. A small budget movie but they got a lot of mileage.

Never saw the 2nd one. The first one was interesting because it was a different kind of alien invasion movie. But instead of giant UFOs wiping out cities. Its these UFOs doing mass abductions of people. The images of those ships sucking up people in the sky.
