Skyline Film Review: Monster Mash-up

Earth comes under attack once again in an alien invasion effort best described as Co-dependence Day.

Made outside the studio system for a mere $20m, at least this isn't a big-budget disaster, but boy is it a mess with flat characters, out-offocus shots and a sense of d ©j vu hanging like an alien swarm over every scene.
