Visuals are ok, sound is great.

However story line is terrible.

Real time video link when in deep space for over a month at FTL ! As for the crew in-fighting beyond belief. The the demoted 2nd in command who thinks a 10% risk of dying is worth the risk. The "media personality" tagging along.

It just gets worse and worse.

35 minutes and I had enough.

There is no comedy.

not much of a thriller either.

cast are ok and acting ok.

but the story line is so bad.

at least it was only 80 minutes wasted (oil time 86 plus titles)

Dont know where to start.

Cast are ok.

Naomi Harris is hot as usual.. Always like the Rock

But the story line just sucks.

The evil guys are just pathetic. The good guys are not that great.

Bullets and bombs just bounce off the monsters.

got bored glad it ended when it did.

I was waiting for the sequel to the excellent film skyline.

Seems this film more or less forgot all about original film. The whole of LA were trundling alone as though nothing had happened in past.

Then some bad ass aline comes along and starts doing its thing. A set of disjointed characters then appear. Lots of blood. Alien has ass kicked by a child and railway worker.

Big bad alien dies.

the end.

I have liked the past films.

Jason looks more like desperate Dan these days.

Jessica Alba is always pleasing on the eye but the long body shots of here, really ! Michael Yeoh was nice to see again, not seen here since James Bond.

But the biscuit is really Tommy Lee Jones who is made to look like Ossy Osborne, give us a break.

The whole thing just was not convincing. It jumped from place to place. The bad guys were just not bad enough. Were there any good guys. ?

Its just too predictable.

I was looking forward to seeing this film. There is a lot of press going on about this at present and its had good reviews, however It was a huge letdown, though the visuals were stunning.

I will say up front that I like both Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as actors.

The opening sequence is very good with the shuttle whizzing through space with the earth behind.

A few minutes after this you see the astronaut played by George taking the jet pack for a spin around the shuttle without out a care in the world and the other the other tethered astronaut bouncing up and down on his leash like it was a bungee cord.

At this point I had a few alarm bells ringing in my head.

So it goes on like this.

The astronaut Sandra, inserting a circuit board which is not encased. Loosing a bolt. Not having tools tethered. The astronaut George chit chat chat-up rather than focusing on job.

When the debris hits the shuttle all of a sudden the debris has more mass than the shuttle and knocks it around like a toy.

The unprofessionalism showed by supposedly trained astronauts spoilt the film, let alone the lack of real following of physics.

It would also seem Nasa no longer have any ground radio transmitters or Russians or Chinese for that matter.

It just goes on and on with error after error.

No astronaut would remove their helmet before leaving capsule.

The final sequence I almost wished there was a shark in the water to eat astronaut Sandra or she would be shot as a spy.

I know films are entertainment and sometimes they take liberties with the facts but this film it was continuous one after the other. I was expecting some but it could have been so much better if they had some proper advise before they committed to film.

I love space films but they completely spoilt it for me with the story line and lack of understanding of physics and how well trained astronauts are.

Thankfully the film was only 90 minutes long.
