White Sky

Strange alien invasion sounds interesting, right? Right! Well, on that note, then I opted to sit down and watch the 2021 action sci-fi movie "White Sky". Well, that and also because it was a new movie that I hadn't already seen.

Funny why writer Philip Daay would think that watching a group of people traverse aimlessly around a forest for the majority of the movie would be considered to be entertaining. I surely didn't find it the least bit entertaining. Not even 30 minutes into the ordeal and I am well fed up with the movie, but I opted to give it a bit more of a chance, so I pressed on. Needless to say that I didn't stick around for the entire movie, because watching people stroll around in a forest didn't cut it for me.

The storyline sounded interesting enough on the synopsis, but the transition from script to screen was abysmal and it certainly didn't make for an exciting or interesting movie.

Now, I am not one that jumps at the chance to watch sci-fi movies, as it is not a preferred genre for me, but every now and again I do dabble with it. I should have stayed well clear of "White Sky" though, despite it having an interesting enough synopsis and a cover/poster that certainly seemed to have potential.

Visually the "White Sky" felt sluggish and amateurish, as if the movie was filmed on a mobile phone camera. Yeah, it was that dubious. And let's just be honest, that didn't really work in favor of a movie that was already fast sliding downhill from a lack of interesting storyline.

My rating of "White Sky" lands on a one out of ten stars. This movie was not worth the time, money or effort. Some of us suffered through this rubbish in smaller or bigger degree, so you don't have to.

Seems to be filmed on a phone most of the time, with some graphics added from a video game or something. The story is just about some people camping. If you're expecting something like Red Dawn you'll be disappointed. This is more like Blair Witch, without the witch, without the scares.

It's a vanity project by the unpaid actors so that they can get noticed for something else. Nothing more.

Starts out good... then just rambles along. Looses its story line fast. I kept nodding off it was so bland and boring. Maybe no one really read the script properly?

This film looks good. Largely filmed in the wilderness it's nice enough to look at. When the aliens arrive the ship hangs in the sky like an updated V. The advertising for the film focused on these impressive images which is what caught my eye.

Being positive, the idea is ok, the acting is ok, and the sfx and makeup is ok.

BUT it is just so dull. After a promising first 15 minutes it loses all its steam.

First up, this is really a zombie film and not aliens. The afore mentioned ship in the sky scene is as close to aliens as it gets.

Very little happens and what does happen makes little sense. Think a very long uneventful episode of The Walking Dead.

By the ending I had really lost all interest and any understanding of what was going on. In the closing scenes I couldn't tell if there was even a conclusion.

In a quality bit of writing, a full on argument about not using a flare as it would give away their location is followed seconds later with them all carrying flaming torches.

Pretty much what I expected, Zombie vs people. The dialogue was so muffled and garbled even the open caption couldn't get it all. Will there be any hope for humanity???
