Mark Corley is a Los Angeles police detective who visits his estranged teenage son, Trent, having landed in jail due to brawling just as an alien invasion begins and the entire population of the city is sucked into various spaceships by the blue light. Mark leads a group of surviving humans through the underground subway tunnels to try to escape from the various aliens. (Wikipedia)
A tough-as-nails detective embarks on a relentless pursuit to free his son from a nightmarish alien warship.
Well, for some reason, they made a sequel anyway. The first Skyline felt like it was made by a special effects team in between jobs. No experienced writers, directors, or actors. Just the kind of movie you'd get if nothing but special effects guys made the movie. Mindless, soulless action. But a lot of it. Say what you want about Skyline, it was super dumb; but it kept moving at a kinetic pace.

Now, I'm saying the movie felt like it was written and directed by special effects guys with no other experience, but actually it was directed by the guys who made Alien Vs Predator: Requiem (the only feature they directed; otherwise all their credits are fx), which makes sense. A dumb alien invasion story that focuses on a tiny group of locals trying to escape a battle that's much larger than them. Basically, these are all the same movie.

But this time the AvP guys have been replaced, and the screenwriter of the original is now taking the captain's seat as writer/ director. So is he making this to fix things? Did he feel like the AvP guys ruined his brilliant alien invasion script and now he's doing it right? Apparently not, because the first half of this movie is more of a remake than a sequel, repeating all of the same sequences. Another small group of people fall pray to all the same tricks the aliens used on the humans in the first one. It even recycles some of the same footage! And I'm not talking about flashbacks. Shots from the first film are literally being shown to us again as the new characters' experiences.

Where this sequel veers off into "original" territory is in the second half. I won't get into any real spoilers, but the first one left off with characters fighting aliens on their ship, and this one gets to that point about 40 minutes in. I guess filming the whole movie in a crazy alien spaceship would be expensive, though, so they quickly crash back down on Earth and the rest of the film takes place in Vietnam. Maybe Vietnam is the one country where Skyline was successful?

Anyway, how does this film compare against the first? Well, it's less original, that's for sure. Most of this film is rehash. The effects don't really look any better or worse. It's still a lot of ugly CGI, though this one throws in a bunch more Predator-like rubber suits. The soundtrack feels more authentic as opposed to the score of the first film, which sounded like it was ripped off a CD called "Generic Sci-Fi Blockbuster Themes, vol. 1."

And the acting has improved. The lead is noticeably better than the first film's, and when the story moves to Vietnam, we even find a couple cast members from The Raid films. Still, I wouldn't go so far as to say the acting was "good." It rose to the level of "okay."

I think this film might also be dumber than the first, if only because it tries to explain everything about how the alien race and their technology works, which just invites more unintentional silliness. In the original, they wisely left a lot of that mysterious. On the other hand, to their credit, Beyond Skyline is a little more ambitious with a wider scope of locations and first-hand alien experience.

The biggest step backwards, however, is the pacing. The first one was doofy, but it never stopped trying to entertain you with nervous energy and one twist after another. Beyond Skyline gets downright tedious, constantly showing you the same things over and over. It's just not fun. Every plot point hinges on a long series of implausible coincidences, only to take you to the most predictable, cliched outcomes. Everything here is expected and slow, so you're just waiting for the film to catch up with you. Instead of people being menaced by ever-changing alien technology beyond our understanding, this time the aliens just run around punching and kicking people, constantly losing fistfights to secondary characters.

Beyond Skyline is careful to connect to the original film in a lot of direct ways, but I find it hard to imagine that there's many people who'd care considering how poorly received Skyline was. But even if you did like Skyline, I think this sequel will disappoint you. That one at least had a scrappy, amateur charm to it. This follow-up is just a chore that refuses to end. The story is too lame and too predictable even my 14 years old son could predict it. Thank's to Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian, and Indonesia's beautiful temple and scenery. They save this movie to become lamer. I hope it could be better on the sequel, if there is.
I did admire this movie’s near-lunatic genre-hopping.
