I’m absolutely fired up about the release of Beyond Skyline… except in the states there won’t be a theatrical release, apparently. Instead, Lionsgate will be rolling out the hit sci-fi sequel on DVD, Blu-Ray and VoD on January 16, 2018 in North America, pretty much crusing any of my pre-ordained hopes and dreams amid my own reporting…
Fuck.
Anyway, I reviewed this bastard (check back December 11) and while I won’t be including this in any of my current Five-A-Day articles which I don’t feel like re-editing since I’m currently getting over being sick and the task itself is just damn tiresome, I’m happy to be lending this one with some lip service in the coming weeks. I dug the crud out of this film and I honestly want more after this.
Plotwise, sans the 2010 fumble from the Strause sibs, VFX artist Liam O’Donnell presses on here with actor Frank Grillo and international action star Iko Uwais leading the story of an L.A. detective who gets whisked away into an epic battle for mankind’s survival during a deadly alien invasion in which unlikely allies, and mysteries within the warships will be key to winning the war long term, one battle at a time.
Also starring are Johnny Weston, Bojana Novakovic, Callan Mulvey, Pamelyn Chee and Yayan Ruhian. Peep the Blu-Ray art below courtesy of Dread Central and keep an eye out for special feature info from here on, and feel free to take a stab at PRE-ORDERING the DVD while you’re at it!
