Hey All,
Went to opening night for the movie SKYLINE at the new Cineplex Ultra Avg theaters. First off, Cineplex has done a great job here, Reserved Seating alone is worth the extra price you pay, never mind the much improved Picture & Sound.
Secondly, SKYLINE is a really interesting film that has little story but TONS of effects and puts you right in the action with its style.
It is however a clearly influenced film with obvious elements from movies like War of the Worlds among others. Not only this, it appears that the creators of this film have clearly taken elements from the video game End of the Beginning... Where humans are susceptible to the Aliens Blue Radiation Light, and not only that, but the aliens in SKYLINE like in END OF THE BEGINNING... literally suck up humans and debris into their ships... Hmm... Very Coincidental...
Summary is, if the ultimate form of flattery is imitation, then as the creator of End of the Beginning... I take this as a huge compliment to our games vision and intensity, as it clearly makes for good movie material ;) hint. hint.
