This Forgotten Sci-Fi Flop is Blowing Up on Netflix

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2

Time and time again, Netflix has proven itself to be the perfect place for audiences to discover overlooked movies, and for those overlooked movies to finally get some eyes on them. Perhaps it's due to the wider audience or the ease of browsing for new flicks to watch, but either way, a lot of box office flops and critical bombs have Netflix to thank for their viewership. One of those flops is the 2020 sci-fi action movie Skylines, currently dominating Netflix's viewership charts. The dystopian adventure is actually the third entry in the Skyline franchise, following 2010's Skyline and 2017's Beyond Skyline. Sadly, the trilogy got started on a less-than-ideal note, with the 2010 original tanking at the box office and receiving mostly poor reviews from critics. However, Beyond Skyline rejected the sophomore slump expectation and wound up earning pretty solid reviews, even if audiences still weren't totally on board with the franchise. Skylines debuted in theaters and on Apple TV in December 2020, but its arrival on Netflix in March 2021 has breathed new life into the movie. As of March 23, Skylines has remained in the list of Netflix's top ten most-watched movies in the U. S. for several days - something not many other projects, film or otherwise, have achieved. Kelchu: So this is the 3rd in the skyline series and the first was the worst of them. I saw that at the Cinema. The second was better and I genuinely enjoyed the 3rd mainly because of its cast and fight choreography. Bit unfair saying it was a flop as it was released in 2020 when all cinemas etc were closed so other than Netflix not really much else it could do. At the minute every movie is losing money including James Bond as they aren t getting released.

i think it a lot of it has to do with genres as well, say you type in a Movie they don't currently have available to stream you don't get an empty list for your search query you get pages and pages of movies that are related somehow to whatever genre the movie you searched for originally had. that was a cutting edge idea also another thing that made binging waay too easy

I loved all 3 films! I was happy to see Alexander Siddig and Rhona Mitra in the film! Now I need to re-watch the Pulse Trilogy films.

I liked it but it is a middle of the road movie that has a vibe of taking some scenes from older sci-fi movies and series.
