“Dark Skies” was one of the first sci-fi movies I ever watched. I was probably a little too young at the time (it felt like pure nightmare fuel back then), but I was completely hooked nonetheless.
When “Dark Skies” hit theaters in 2013, it kind of came and went without much fanfare. It was released quietly, didn’t have the marketing push of bigger studio sci-fi movies, and got overshadowed by the likes of “Oblivion” and “Gravity.” Not to mention, it earned a paltry 42% on Rotten Tomatoes, which feels like an unfair rating to me.
After watching it again recently, I can confidently say it’s the kind of sci-fi thriller that burrows under your skin, slowly building tension until you’re gripping the couch cushions and questioning every weird noise in your house.
