    Dark Skies

    by richt5

    Loved it! Its a good depiction of me when I was 13 or 14. Its as much a family trying to hold things together during rough times as it is a scary show. Good script and good acting. Annie Thurman and Dakota Goyo are the next generation of stars!

    Generally for me, if the critics say a movie is average and the fans like it, I go. If the fans don't like it and the critics love it, I usually stay home or pick another. Alot of the time, Critics take themselves too seriously! It's the entertainment industry after all.

    Great HALF of a movie!!

    by schultz67

    I would say the ending sucked, but there was no ending. It was a very entertaining movie that sucked you in and kept you there throughout. Then it just stopped. It was as though the script writer reached his page limit so they just ended it. It's one thing to end a movie leaving the audience to wonder about some things. This left the audience wondering about everything! It would be fine if it was called "Dark Skies Part 1". I rated it 'so-so' instead of 'no' or 'oh no!' because it was a good movie until it just stopped. If it wasn't for the fact that the credits ran, I would have thought the projector malfunctioned. I recommend watching it (when you can watch it for free) just to see how dumb the ending is.

    Much better than Paranormal Activity

    by WolvieMovie

    This movie has a bit of the paranormal activity to it, only with much drama, suspenseful and much creepier. You will feel sorry for the family that is in the movie. Unfortunately, the trailer gave the movie away but very dark movie. If you like creepy, suspenseful, edge of youre seat type of dark movie, this one is for you. I normally dont get goose bumps watching scary, supernatural movies, but this one did.

    Typical Alien Encounter Movie

    by jerabqfanfan

    I had mild anticipation that this movie might be worth seeing. But like many typical alien encounter movies, I had to wait too long for any payoff, which never arrived. There were only a few edge-of-my-seat moments, but not enough. Just like many disappointing movies, it took me on a journey of anticipating an unforgettable climactic destination, but as soon as the story line started to intensify, the journey was over, and I never made it to where I wanted to go. I wish writers and directors would spend as much time on ending a story well as they do on conceiving a concept. Of course exceptional casting, dialogue, and other vital aspects of movie-making arouse my desire to want to begin and remain on an adventure, but the final destination is paramount to making the trip worth it. So, please stop releasing movies that take me on journeys that lead nowhere.

    Pretty Good Horror Flick!

    by

    I'm a connoisseur of fine horror flicks, so it takes a lot to get me excited. But this movie had some nice "shock" scenes if you can call it that. The revelation of the aliens was amazing. The ending made sense and was pretty good but it could've been a little better. Over all good movie, you should definitely go see this one.
    I wouldn't take my kids (or expect nightmares for a long time.)
    The acting was decent (its a horror film nobody really cares about that -- the blair witch project made millions!!).
    go see it.

    Entertaining

    by kellylovesmetal

    If you liked The Fourth Kind with Mila Jovovich, then you probably will like this movie also. Not too many films have explored the abduction theory and I think this one isn't bad. It's entertaining, anyway. And the twist was truly unexpected.

    Good Times

    by

    Went to the late show with my wife, her friend and 3 young teens and had a great time. Enjoyed watching them cover their eyers and scream occasionally... this movie is scary but not "evil" scary so very appropriate for young teens.

    The Gray's, they are with us.

    by paranormalromances

    SPOILER: If you are expecting some resolution to the Alien issue or want a happy ending this is not the movie for you. It does in fact hold true to the million reports from people that say they are experiencing these very same things. The Grays, they exist. Can we stop them NO, do we need to accept they are real, YES! Go see it, be aware, and be alert for the signs. You family might be next.

    Pleasantly surprised

    by Margaret25

    I wasn't quite sure what to expect and was a bit apprehensive because I do not like horror movies. This, however, was not at all that genre. It's suspenseful with a what's-going-to-happen-next, grab-onto-your-chair feeling. There's a bit of an unexpected twist at the end that later left me with an, "Oh no! What now?" But, that's all part of the suspense. Yes, I was pleasantly surprised and liked this movie. I'll watch it again when it comes out on DVD.

    Dark Skies

    by WILDSEA

    Abduction film which is not interesting until 15 minutes before the end. Although this is a movie for adults, the fact that there are several kids in the movie makes it boring.
