terrible... so disappointed.

ScoobyWell

Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Better Late Then Never

Aneesa Wardle

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

MORNING: Watch paint dry.AFTERNOON: See Ed Miliband's Labour party Conference Speech.EVENING: Figure out how long you've been alive for... down to the last millisecond.Congratulations. Your day has been a thousand times more exciting than anyone who's watched Skyhook.My goodness. Why can I say? Here's the plot: A girl joins a team trying to win a space project competition, intending to betray them due to the threat of blackmail hanging over her head. And, that's it.What follows is talk, talk and more talk. Technical talk. Romance talk. Small talk. It saps your soul. You drown in it. None of it connects. You want to scream. But you can't. You're trapped. Stuck between two shades of grey. It's coma inducing stuff. Usually, I can look up the word 'tedious' on my online thesaurus to find an accurate description. No chance in this case. It's just.... AARGH.The only way to stay sane is to focus on the multiple plot flaws. Such as the introduction, when our female turncoat has the EASIEST entrance ever into a top secret facility to steal valuable information. They may as well have carried her in.Also, the gang she's joined have known for a while that someone has been going around, sabotaging teams who are entering the contest. They JUST SO HAPPEN to run into a young lady at a bar who knows more about space than the rest of them combined. Do they suspect anything? Of course not. In fact, they let this complete stranger have full access to all their research the very next day!! It's a toss-up between whether they're more stupid or dull...Oh, who am I kidding? There's no contest. This is a black hole for inspiration, a starless night for creativity and it'll put a lot of sheep who like to be counted out of business, too. Sorry my woolly friends, off to the mutton factory with you... 0/10

As the other reviews commented this is not a good movie. We only managed to watch the first 30 minutes before giving up. The sound track is one of the worst I've heard in a long time - it sounds like it was recorded on a cheap camcorder.The picture quality is not much better. The actors all appear to be unknowns and seem wooden. The sets are obviously cheap and are very basic - not "Visually Stunning" by a long way.The script begins with a very tacky opening scene that would not be out of place in a 19070's B movie.In a lot of ways it reminds me of a cheap sci-fi serial you'd find on the afternoon telly.

This is the ultimate low budget movie. The picture on the front of the DVD made out that it was going to be a space movie.Visually stunning? Was the wrong DVD in the box? Outrageous misrepresentation. A total waste of money. Don't bother wasting your time. The worst film I've ever seen in my life.The story line could have been good but too many corners were cut, Why did the space scene look like something that was made by a child?The acting was poor. The ending was abysmal. It was one of those films that you start watching, thinking it was going to get better. It didn't!

I have seen some bad films in my time but this one took the biscuit by a mile. I bought it on a DVD and on the case it said "visually stunning". I can only imagine that this was written by a bloke who was thinking of one of the actresses. As far as the film goes, it's 99%people standing around talking. There are 3 "space scenes" which consist of a few shiny objects moving around above a fuzzy blue ball(Earth)which last about 10 seconds each. How that can be construed as "visually stunning" I don't know. If I sat here typing this review for a month I could not express how UTTERLY BORING Skyhook is. I've clicked on "spoiler" as the above more or less gives the entire plot away!! Bottom line: Dreadful.
