Skyline is completely realistic though not too enjoyable to watch. Let’s face it-if it really was the apocalypse, of course you would end up not at home, stuck at a friend’s place with his lame friends, arguing with your significant other, completely helpless, unskilled, captured & defeated. The coolest moments are rushed over & we spend too much time with these generally unsympathetic cardboard cutout characters. Still, an alien apocalypse is an alien apocalypse so even a bad one is better than the average reality show.
