[6.00/10] Beyond Skyline (2017)

Beyond Skyline (2017)

Quick Review: Slightly superior to the original in terms of execution, "Beyond Skyline" amazes with even slicker CGI and practical effects that are simply too good for its budget, and even though the often messy plot ranges from cheesy to absurd, it's much more thrilling than the one of the first film, especially during the frenetically action-packed final act. Grillo is suitable for the lead role, but the best part of the cast are Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian, because of their great fight skills.

Wasn't a big fan of the original. Thought it was overrated.

They made a sequel to a SciFi movie nobody really cared about? Huh, Hollywood is running out of ideas...

Least it looks good based on your mini-review.

@Alex, me neither. This sequel was an improvement, though.

@Kaijinu, it's ridiculous, isn't it? Yes, this one is simply silly fun.
