BEYOND SKYLINE (Limited Theatrical Release USA 2017)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 2.8|5.0 Starsìì

Beyond Skyline works on the same premise as the last film—aliens attacking humans and humans surviving as best as they can. With high human casualty levels, the movie does not improve on the performance of its prequel. The best and most intriguing part of this film plays on the “what if” there could be the formation of a new human species that can grow rapidly. This film ends as if there is intention to make another film along the same storyline.
