When first part of the high budget modern trashy
interpretation of „War of the worlds”,
crashed directly on the DVD/online movie community, the impressions were pretty
much positive.
Although in a lower level of cast, „Skyline” showed decently tense and hidden story, accompanied by some pretty good CGI and
action sequences. With its very ending it offered less answers then it gave and
the story about the advanced alien race that kidnap thousands of people to get
their brains had to continue.
And it did, and did it by raising the level of
trash to the level of parody. High end budget was there one again, as well as
the C-level cast, but the script was the one that evolved beyond any
predictions.
Not only do the aliens use human brains to drive
their slave army of soldiers, they also do not manage to control every single
brain they collect. When one of those brains in one of those soldier’s bodies
manages to save his pregnant girlfriend that gives birth to a very special
little girl, the hunt for the key of the survival of the entire human race
begins.
And it leads us to Laos, crossing the paths with
lead stars of the Indonesian martial art masterpiece, „Raid: Redemption”,
paving the way to the ultimate standoff between aliens with blue brains, aliens
with red brains and mankind at Angkor Wat.
„Beyond Skyline” is one of the finer examples of
modern day Hollywood trash SF-horrors and deserves to be recognized as such.
