Falling Skies opens in the chaotic aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of the world completely incapacitated. In the six months since the initial invasion, the few survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers work to protect the people in their care while also engaging in an insurgency campaign against the occupying alien force.

Falling Skies Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
nogrettesylvain This TV series is amazing, Falling Skies his genre science fiction and drama. His country of origin is America,the original language is English, the number of season is five of which fivety-two episodes.Flling Skies is a television series of America post-apocalyptic, science fiction. Six months after the invation of the Earth by aliens, the planet is inruins and human survivors. Tom Maon,a professor of history, findsimsel propelled as second is command of the second Massachusetts Regiment. If the survivor's goal is to try to survive, some of them will also try to understand the reason dfor the invation.
drystyx This is how to not write a screenplay.This series about alien invasion has been developed on paper, I'm sure, by much better writers. They can't be any worse.There is almost nothing here that works. Can't pinpoint just one thing, except that overall it is totally uninspired, and without credibility of plot and motivation.The writer/director team, and everyone who had a voice in this production, insisted on the most contrived outcomes that are so obviously contrived it is impossible not to groan when watching, unless one is hoarse.For example, in one section, the formula Hollywood hero tries to rescue his son from gunmen who are trying to shoot a bunch of kids (don't ask for any motivation here. There is none). He does so by surrendering his weapon to them, knowing they mean to kill him and the others, then tells the others to surrender. Magically, he gets a gun from them, magically someone else ambushes the captors, and magically it works.Don't try this in real life. If you watch this, you will see the worst military strategy imaginable, particularly on the side of the humans. You'll want the aliens to wipe out humanity if you're objective. The hero is a hateful, self righteous moron who relies on luck throughout, and you can't wait for this boring dullard to die off, but he's kept in too long, and makes a few seconds seem like an Eternity.Another problem is the complete self righteousness and divisiveness of the script. The hero, and in fact all the main characters, are impossible to relate to, impossible to empathize with, just impossible to care about. They are written in such a one dimensional way that it alienates all but the most spoiled of upper class elitists, and those sheep who mistakenly think they are allowed among them.The lack of imagination, the lack of strategy, the lack of inspiration, all totally Hollywood hate formula, along with the usual neo-Nazi preaching. The usual killing of as many hot brunettes as possible is included, which keeps the female portion of the audience happy, but depresses the males miserably.There is no saving grace to this pile of garbage. It's simply sour grapes from rich kids, and unfortunately these same idiots are in real positions of power. Which is why the U.S. military and government is always 40 years behind the savvy lower class guy on the street in logic and strategy.Divisive, racist, hate filled, self righteous, uninspired, one dimensional. All of this makes any budget a sick waste. A low budget movie with these factors isn't nearly as bad as something that actually consumes so many resources.
esmad3-216-475224 As a "loyal viewer" who kept up hope to the last that this drivel, that was mediocre at the best of times and plain trash most of the time, would get better, I feel like it's my duty to warn people of this awful show. I was along for the entire ride, right up to one of the worst and least satisfying finales in TV history. Please don't make the same mistake I did, it never gets good. It's one tired, cringe- worthy cliché after another. Every character is one-dimensional and everything is seen before, and better. It's not even good for trashy sci-fi entertainment, it takes itself way too seriously for that. Watch anything on ScyFy for a more satisfying experience.
Yasin When I first started watching Falling Skies I was extremely sceptical. I found the narrative too predictable and the initial relationship building and character development tedious and superficial. It was something I only watched because it had five seasons and it's available on Netflix. Something you would watch in the background while doing the dishes or ironing laundry. However if you hold out until thew middle of the second season things will get more interesting. I took me weeks to watch the first 1.5 seasons. However after 2.5 I actually got hooked again and went through the remainder (a handful of episodes to go) in a matter of days. In some aspects one could compare it to Stargate, an alien race, technologically superior enslaves and harvests other species including humans by means of an organic adjunct as are the Goa'uld worms. However the scenery is post-apocalyptic. There are even a few scenes involving space ships and space battles. Additionally we are being introduced to other alien species beside the invaders. If you like SciFi and have a Netflix account go for it!
