Marco L (CASTELLANO) Hay películas que no tienen sentido, pero aun así entretienen. Beyond Skyline es una de ellas. No importa demasiado si la historia es absurda, si los personajes apenas existen o si la lógica se pierde por el camino. Lo que importa aquí es la acción, las explosiones y los alienígenas con ganas de invadirlo todo. Y en ese aspecto, cumple lo justo para no aburrir. Desde el primer minuto, la película deja claro que no está aquí para desarrollar personajes ni profundizar en nada. Lo suyo es un espectáculo sin pausa, donde las peleas se suceden sin dar tregua y los efectos especiales hacen todo el trabajo. A ratos funciona: hay momentos de acción bien coreografiados y algunos detalles visuales que sorprenden. Pero cuando intenta tomarse en serio, la falta de guion y coherencia se hacen demasiado evidentes. Los diálogos no ayudan. Son básicos, previsibles y llenos de frases que parecen sacadas de un manual de cine de serie B. Los personajes tampoco tienen mucho que hacer más allá de disparar, correr y decir cosas obvias. No hay desarrollo, no hay profundidad, solo la excusa mínima para pasar de una escena de acción a la siguiente. A nivel visual, se nota que el presupuesto ha sido mejor aprovechado que en su predecesora. Hay secuencias llamativas y algunos diseños de criaturas bien logrados. Sin embargo, la película abusa de ciertos efectos hasta el punto de que acaban perdiendo impacto. La música, por otro lado, pasa desapercibida, sin aportar nada que refuerce la tensión o la épica de las escenas. Al final, Beyond Skyline es una tontería, pero al menos es una tontería divertida. Si entras en su juego y no esperas nada más que un desfile de acción sin lógica, puede que te entretenga lo justo. Pero si buscas algo más, mejor sigue buscando. (ENGLISH) Some movies make no sense but still manage to entertain. Beyond Skyline is one of them. It doesn’t really matter if the story is absurd, if the characters barely exist, or if logic is thrown out the window. What matters here is the action, the explosions, and the aliens hell-bent on invading everything. And in that regard, it does just enough to avoid being boring. From the very first minute, the movie makes it clear that it’s not here to develop characters or explore deep themes. It’s all about non-stop spectacle, with fight scenes back-to-back and visual effects carrying the weight of the film. At times, it works—there are some well-choreographed action sequences and a few surprising visual details. But when it tries to take itself seriously, the lack of script and coherence become all too obvious. The dialogue doesn’t help. It’s basic, predictable, and filled with lines that seem taken straight from a B-movie handbook. The characters don’t have much to do beyond shooting, running, and stating the obvious. There’s no development, no depth—just the bare minimum excuse to jump from one action scene to the next. Visually, it’s clear the budget was better utilized than in its predecessor. There are some flashy sequences and a few well-designed creatures. However, the film overuses certain effects to the point where they lose their impact. The soundtrack, on the other hand, is forgettable, adding nothing to enhance the tension or amplify the epic feel of the scenes. In the end, Beyond Skyline is nonsense, but at least it’s entertaining nonsense. If you go along with its game and don’t expect anything beyond a logic-free action fest, you might have a decent time. But if you're looking for something more, you’re better off searching elsewhere. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Anastasia B Meh. I didn't have high expectations going into this movie and I came out feeling the same way I did at the beginning. Very below average alien movie. The acting, the plotline was boring and almost cringe-worthy. It was very confusing as well. The only thing I enjoyed about this film was the CGI. Pretty incredible in that sense. But looks, doesn't equate a good film. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/09/24 Full Review Cass S Thoroughly entertaining.
