Today I watched a two-and-half star science-fiction/alien flick called - mundanely enough -Skyline. For such a plain title, there was plenty 'o action to be had, as well as an education.
I won't spoil the plot, nor will I critique the film, suffice to say that the movie has several salient lessons for human kind:
1. If you are going to escape aliens, you need a Porsche.
A couple of characters in this movie tried to flee Los Angeles in a Ferrari, and they got stomped. It just goes to show that even extra-terrestrials prefer the German product.
2. Nuclear weapons are good.
We should never, ever, ever ban nukes. In fact, we should build more of them. If killer aliens ever arrive, bullets just aren't going to slow them down, are they? Get real.
3. Sci-fi movie directors use a lot of blue filters and blue lights and blue things.
Because they can.
4. Love is good.
It is humanity's one saving grace. (No, I'm not being cynical. That last one is heartfelt.)
