movie review - Beyond Skyline

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2020.11.17

This is a fun Sci-Fi flick about a cop whose son is becoming a petty crook. In an effort to track the boy down one night, he discovers that an alien invasion is underway. Impossibly, he decides to and then actually boards the alien craft. During his attempt to liberate his son while in the ship, it travels to Asia and an entire new sequence begins.

The story is pretty different from the usual alien invasion fare and while it certainly has its rough edges I enjoyed the whole.

Recommended. For one of those nights when you need some escapism.

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time.
