    Crap - save your money

    by docjeff

    I am not sure what movie these people have seen. This movie steals from every alien and
    sci fy from Body Snatcher to Blair Witch. Lousy and NO ending. Boring and unanswered questions throughout. Better off renting Poltergeist which this film copies anyway.

    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.

    Worth the money!

    by Emily B_

    I don't really enjoy "alien movies," but this movie was great and the actors were fantastic. Not as scary as I thought it was going to be, but acting made up for it. Definitely worth the money spent.

    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.

    nice scary start to 2013

    by

    This is one of those movies that once you watch it, you realize that it easily could have been a 4 hour movie... there were some inconsistency issues, but not enough to take away from the action... it is a "things jump out from nowhere" type scare without the loud sound effect that usually accompanies the scare attempt... and it works really well because the visually scary parts are perfect! I loved the directors ability to always have you suspenseful and on the edge of your seat thinking to yourself "OMG what's about to happen is going to be horrifying, but I can't even fathom what it will be!" Although I don't think that they get you as emotionally involved in the characters as they needed to, they still connected you with them on a human level, which was plenty to keep you involved.... but the overall feel of the movie was that of "if this stuff is true, we really have no control over what they can and cannot do....completely helpless"...

    2 thumbs moderately up from me...

    so so

    by sjsawdey

    I was not expecting a great movie when going into dark skies and i did not witness a great movie. The plot to this movie was in my opinion adequate. The acting was good as for all characters went. And i have to say so was the animation put on the aliens or in this movie known as the Greys. The ending of this movie brought down the bar for me and is the reason im giving this movie a so so. just be expecting the ending to be somewhat of a disappointment.

    It's A Good Average Movie

    by tzoi516

    It was a good movie. If you want to wait until it's available digitally then you won't be upset. It felt like a twist on the "Poltergeist" movie, but not in an offensive way.

    Left me silent at the end!

    by mexichica

    I loved this movie. I wasn't excited at the beginning to watch something about aliens thinking that it wouldn't be a 'scary movie' but then it touched on so many emotions. The actors were so real, I totally saw them as a family going through this horrible nightmare. The father was really annoying at the beginning and his face bugged me with all the close ups and his tired face. I guess he did play the 'bitter husband not getting any' really well. But I didn't like the way they'd focus on him so much.. I was thinking this guys an **shole. I was happy he got the implant and not her.....(heeheehee) The way the camera moved and timing really sets a mood. It only scares you if you think it's possible for this to happen and I'm not a scientist but I'm not stupid to think it can't. The theatre was totally quiet once the credits started. This is totally not for kids and it's pg-13 but I wouldn't take sensitive 13 or 14 year old to it. Younger Teenagers talking about oral sex.

    chilling

    by jbustillo

    literally, you will continuously get goosebumps and chills all throughout this movie!!! excellent story, excellent connect the dots, awesome twists. all in all 9/10. why not a 10/10? bc tho i get that it wasnt going to be a happy ending, i don't get how they could just stand by and let it happen. watch and you will see. i also appreciate that there were no fake thrill build-ups that have become so common now-days in scary movies.

    Dark Skies - Take it or Leave It

    by in2play

    Dark Skies was so-so. I enjoyed it; but, its hard to believe a family would stay in a house for a whole series of strange happenings for so long. I would've checked into the nearest hotel by the second occurrence.

    Nothing extraordinary

    by Frontman

    While this is definitely not a stupid movie, there's nothing special in it. And definitely not for a movie theatre as the movie will lose it's atmosphere - imagine hearing your neighbour-watchers munching popcorn and talking while "oh, darling! there's someone in the house!" suspense? That's my experience... You'd better watch it from home, if there's nothing more interesting out there.

    P.S.
    I have a very weird feeling about other comments: are these people have so low artistic levels? Or they are being paid for excellent reviews??? There's really nothing special about this movie to give it "Go" or higher mark...
