Dark Skies Review

I knew nothing about this movie when I was going in. I had no idea what the story was and I hadn´t seen any trailers. Dark Skies is a sci-fi horror movie starring Keri Russell, and it is basically about this family and how they deal with an alien invasion. The story was actually pretty interesting, and Keri Russell did a good job. The problem is that some of the other actors tend to over do it. There are some genuinely scary moments in this film, but there are a ton of moments that end up being funny instead of scary.

Another problem with this movie is that it is full of jump scares, there were a lot of those in here. They felt forced and I would have prefered more of the actual scary scenes in the movie. This movie was definitely not as bad as it could have been, but that really isn´t saying much. This movie had some actual potential, and was scary from time to time. The problem is that sometimes it felt comedic, and all the jump scares happening every five seconds felt extremely forced.

Dark Skies is a movie that really isn´t worth watching. If you want a movie like this, you´re better off watching Signs. Not as bad as it could have been, but it still is a bad movie. I´m giving Dark Skies a 2/5
