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.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
