    Dark Skies Dark Profit

    by f-27-sanchez

    I can't possibly imagine seeing this movie again. I'll give the movie some credit in that it gave me a few good scares and unless they are planning on making a sequel, the ending really disappointed me. If you are into aliens and the great beyond kind of stuff, then I suggest going to see this flick but if not, don't waste your time.

    To Good to miss!!!!

    by sfsmith1

    I went to this showing expecting very little. Let's face it, most horror movies are the same and you can figure out what to expect before it happens. This movie really put me in my place! Surprise after surprise and quite a few scares! I am so glad I didn't let this one get away! I could easily watch it over and over. The special effects were awesome! The acting was super! And the story was very believable (if anyone has done any research concerning grays you know what I mean) It is only showing once late night but I urge you to go watch it before it is gone!!!

    so so

    by curt1116

    I was automatically hooked when I initially saw the trailor for this movie I thought it had a cool premise and would be very thrilling. After I saw this movie I will say I kinda felt a little cheated. The acting was ok but the story although errie at times was ultimalty dissapointing. the big twist which most of these types of movies have was weak and just made you say..OK whoop de-do. If you can hold off to rent it I would say do so but if you were captivated by the trailor such as I was then go and be prepaird to be let down.

    Dark Skies is here.

    Glad I chose this movie to watch today. I'm not normally into alien abduction films, but this one is different and very well done. Script is very well written. Movie is along similar lines of the movie "Signs", but not quite that good. Movie is not real scary so teens (13+) should enjoy. Movie is more suspenseful, but provides some good scares. Movie is from Producers of "Paranormal Activity" and you can see certain similarities. The last part of the movie has a major plot twist with an ending that is thought provoking. Some may not like ending, but I found it intriguing and they may be setting it up for sequels.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Dark Skies: A great movie meant for people who like a good scare.

    by David The Cat

    This movie was pretty creepy,scary, but pretty awesome. Since I am 12, I'm going to say that this was one of the best movies I have ever seen over my 12 years on Earth. By looking at the TV trailer, it looks like ghosts are doing all the weird things that go on in the Barret's house. But no! It is ALIENS! Based on the storyline, kids that are under the age of around 8 years old should not see this movie. If I were 7 or 8, I would scream my head off in the theater and wet the bed in my sleep. So you get it now. DO NOT TAKE LITTLE JOHNNY TO SEE THIS ALIEN HORROR MOVIE! When I saw this movie, you don't know how many teenage girls screamed their heads off in their boyfriends face. The end. But really. SEE THIS MOVIE!!! IT IS SOOO SCARY!!!!!!!!

    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.

    A good suspense movie

    by rbostwick

    This is a pretty good movie. Nice twist on some out of this world alien movie. My only two thoughts is 1) for a PG-13 movie a little too much teenage sex scene and language. 2) Don't leave your kids alone at night, EVER..... enough said.

    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

    by cxsolis

    I found the movie's story line to be confusing and overall kinda dull. I was entertained in parts and i didnt fall asleep. but it's definitely not a movie i would recommend someone go and see.

    Good movie, not too gory - I enjoyed it.

    by pugmom44

    I enjoyed the movie, excellent effects - definately spooky. The ending confused me though - the ending was too abrupt and I heard other people in the audience go, huh?

    Other than that - good movie.

    Dark Skies

    by stevendbeard

    This movie is about alien abductions [I'm not giving away anything here , it's in the trailer] . Keri and Josh are a married couple with two kids . When strange , disturbing events start happening [on one occasion , a flock of birds just dive bomb into their house , killing themselves , of course] they are at a loss as to what is the cause . The kids even start acting strange and it's not too much later when the parents join in on the looney tunes . Dakota plays their oldest son . J.K. plays an expert on alien abductions and shares his knowledge , when all the other explanations give out . The story is interesting [if you like the subject matter] but I did not care for the ending .
    I would not buy this one on DVD but it would be a good rental .
