User Reviews

Beyond Skyline and so much better than the first

As we all know the first movie was boring but this one managed to keep me entertained all the way, good story-line, characters are likeable, the SciFi element is a little unbelievable but heck its a movie that's what they do. If they bring out a third movie, I will go and watch.
