MmmMMmm Brains.

Tonight my mom and I were extremely bored, so we decided to check out On Demand. I saw Skyline and remembered being interested in it when it was in theaters. After we ordered it, I also remembered that it was in theaters for just a hot second. I did not have very high expectations. In fact, I had zero expectations at all, so maybe that has something to do with this, but I'll say it.... it wasn't that bad. It was a pretty good alien invasion movie. Parts of it reminded me of War of the Worlds-- mass human extermination and the aliens coming in to the homes and them having to hide were the parts that were like that. Unlike War of the Worlds, however, it felt too much like the aliens were singling this group of people out, and that bugged me. I realize the movie wouldn't necessarily SHOW what was happening to other groups of people, but at least with other movies, you can tell that other things are happening while this alien is after these people. For example, in War of the Worlds, when the alien was in Tim Robbins house, you could still hear the booms and things outside. It's like the aliens came to Earth solely to get these people. What was really interesting about this movie was WHY the aliens were there. **SPOILER ALERT** (If anyone is ever going to watch this movie) When the aliens took the humans, they were like harvesting their brains and using them to survive. I thought it was pretty interesting that they were using our own brain power to destroy us basically. Then you start to think that we aren't using our intelligence to its highest potential. I liked that a lot about this movie. It was so different from just the unprovoked or "we-want-your-natural-resources" type movie. All that being said, the movie was pretty good until they didn't know how to end it. Although part of me is glad that they finally explained the significance of the bad skin rash, it was just plain stupid. It also never ended, the same thing over and over. It basically almost ruined the whole thing, but I can see the good points of Skyline.
