sunworksak The movie is indeed a movie...that's about it. It kind of seemed from previews it was supposed to be some sort of battle between the city in the sky and the rejects left on or sent back to earth. Yet, 80% of the movie you are trying to figure out about some sort of rebellion or what shadows are and the main character trying to find some guts. The little bit of CGI in the movie is 1 or 2 scenes that are repeated over and over again. The acting is pretty rough and forced with little to no emotion. Action scenes are horrendous. Costumes are somewhat on point but the movie is obviously low budget and you can tell. Oh well, it is worth the watch if you have absolutely nothing else to do and want to cringe a little and try to solve the mystery of Battle for Skyark.

James Scott As a movie overall, I'd probably give it 5 out of 10. But I give it an extra point because what they did with what they had. It's clearly a low budget movie. Which actually had some good CGI effects/scenes. And they relied on some practical effects instead. As one that thinks Hollywood movies now a days are to much CGI and not enough story/acting. I found this a bit refreshing.It reminded me a bit of the TV show "The 100" with some "Lord of the Flies" and a dash of monsters thrown in. When you watch it, you will probably feel like you heard this story before.Now considering the Director and one of the writers, Simon Hung, has a Masters degree in Film making. I did wonder on why the writing was so cliché and predictable. Not sure if this was done on purpose or that I have seen way to many movies.The writer, director and actors are all pretty much new to making a full length movie. (a few did a couple of TV episodes and shorts). I think they all did a respectful job. But the acting was stiff in parts and overdone in others. But I wasn't expecting Oscar moments from kids in their first movie. Especially when they had no adult actors to play off of.Overall it's a pretty good attempt at making major movie. But the predictable writing, so-so acting and clearly low budget, hold the movie back. Could easily be a made for SyFy Channel movie. I look forward to seeing Simon's next attempt. As a side note, I don't know where this was filmed. But as a kid (ok, also as an adult), I would of loved to play in that scrap yard. Great location choice.

bngoold I watched this movie not expecting it to be anything special, just a bit of entertainment. Never could of I prepared myself for how horrendous this movie was. The whole time I just wanted to punch every actor in the face. It was awkward, ridiculous and cringe worthy. Beware, you will never get the 1hr 30mins back of your life.The concept had promise, the title suggested it would be based on earth and the Skyark, but no. it was just a bunch of kids that drew their roles as a prize out of a box of cereal running around a scrap metal yard packing their undies every time they heard a noise.There was no time spent on the Skyark at all. Every single actor was up there with the worst I've ever seen. The movie had no story line, no purpose what so ever. I cant believe someone actually paid to produce this steaming pile of manure.You have been warned!

datacain bleh! Stay away!I hope these kids are given a proper chance at acting with better writing and directing.CG was pretty decent in some parts (there was not much CG though), however some CG effects were also a little off.Bad writing! The story is fairly rubbish and the dialog while 'ok' in a couple of small parts, was mostly just bad filler.Poor characters who flip-flop attitude and decisions between scenes.Bad directing. :\Bad locations and sets!World felt empty despite the dialog trying to imply differently.Prosthetics were not too bad.
