Good story, Not enough for a whole film

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Blistering performances.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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.

I watched this film, hoping that it would be good as the idea is great, but all the actors struggle to portray the characters in the film which resulted in a film that doesn't really grip you. Don't get me started on the bad guy in the film, he lacked authenticity throughout from the start and was the only part of the film that really annoyed me. The main actress is gorgeous and is a delight to look at, her performance is adequate, I'm really glad they didn't do any sex scenes as I think it would have made the film even worse The film does get better near the end, although I'm not too keen on the bad guys body guard though. Really its not worth watchingThe SGI in the film is also pretty bad, and none of the promises from the cover of "visually stunning" is also not held. I can't emphasize it enough on how bad this film is
