I didn't expect much, the outcome was quite a surprise. Dark Skies is a very nicely made film, the acting is good, and the story works rather well. Some very sinister moments, including the scene with the birds, and the obligatory person in a garden scene. You think you're getting something along the lines of paranormal activity, with the video cameras gathering footage, but I would genuinely say this offers up a lot more. It has a few scares, but they managed to make the characters likeable, something many film makers seem not to care about anymore.
Overall it's a thumbs up from me, 7/10.
