This movie sucked and should have just been on tv. I love Sci-Fi and this was not even worth the price of admission. Nothing was new or different about this alien abduction movie, no new angles, just a tv movie.
Nothing original here. It borrows from Close Encounters, Signs, The Forth Kind, and Poltergeist with some scenes flat-out stolen. I guess we're all out of fresh ideas.
Don't bother
Excellent movie and very spooky! Hope they will find him someday
Worth the tirip. The X Files could start a new chapter based on this. Good Overall.

As a shocker, Scott Stewart’s (Priest) film is solid, but it’s the thoroughly depressing backdrop that you’ll take away. Full Review

Scott Stewart's Dark Skies is the definitive horror film for the Tea Party era. Full Review

While there are some scares along the way, Stewart foolishly gives away the whole kit and caboodle plot-wise with an opening quotation from Arthur C. Clarke. Full Review

In the end, a pretty good buildup to OK payoff without any real surprises en route makes Dark Skies feel just enough above average to make one wish it had one memorable spark of conceptual inspiration up its sleeve. Full Review

Alien abductions are a truly terrifying idea, and building an alien abduction movie on the template of "Poltergeist" is a great idea. But "Poltergeist" had one thing Dark Skies is sorely in need of: follow-through. Full Review
