Beyond Skyline: #TakeMeToYourDealer

So here I am on New Years Eve, at home since we have a newborn and flipping through our Apple TV to find something to watch when “Beyond Skyline” pops up out of nowhere. Back on May 3rd, 2011 I wrote my review of the original movie, Skyline, and predicted a sequel. You know how people always argue about how the sequel to any movie isn’t as good as the original?

Well, here ya go, Beyond Skyline is not only better than the original, it is much better. The writing is average, which is big upgrade from the original, the acting was what you would expect for an action film, but the story and fight scenes were actually pretty good! When a movie like Bright gets so much attention and viewership and was downright terrible, I am confused why more people don’t know about this.

In fact, I’m not sure why it wasn’t marketed or ever released to theaters (at least I didn’t see it anywhere). I hope it does well in VOD and/or gets picked up by one of the streaming giants.

Lastly, I’m excited to see where Liam O’Donnell goes from here. Coming from Special Effects background and now making his director debut, can’t wait to see what’s next!
