Anyone looking forward to this? Trailer looks interesting, the only thing worrying me is it's made by the same team who brought us the classic 'Alien vs Predator Requiem' :yawn:

15 on Vue aswell.
You say that like it's a bad thing
Alien vs Predator Requiem was highly entertaining... in a very awful way.
Do kind of want to see Skyline though, it's probably terrible but that doesn't mean it won't be enjoyable!
Let us all know what you make of it
The SFX are pretty good and there's lots of action and I can sum up the film in one word:
It's a 15:

I'd imagine that the distributors were expecting it to get a 12A rating (it's a PG-13 in the US), hence why they put 12A on the trailers. It sounds to me like it's another case of the BBFC being overly harsh, their write up says that it's relatively bloodless and only has one use of strong language, which sounds like a 12A to me. Still, on the plus side at least that's less kids in the cinema!
They've been overly harsh with just about every teen and family aimed film recently. Easy A was rated 15; the target audience is 12 - 18. The Virginity Hit was rated 18; the target audience is 14 - 18. Fred The Movie was rated 12A; the target audience is 4 - 12. Easy A failed at the UK box office, the other two are yet to be released.
I thought Skyline looked quite good
Their extended classification information certainly doesn't say it's relatively bloodless. It makes it clear that it's the level of "threat" and violence that pushes it out of the the 12 bracket and into the 15.
They didn't even show Easy A at my cinema, no wonder it failed.
I won't bother with this and stick to Battle Los Angeles for a slice of Alien, end of the World action.
Same here. It wasn't showing at either of the two cinemas I regularly go to. There's 68 VUE Cinemas in the country. Easy A was showing at 16.
I hear it's done pretty well in the US, where it's rated PG-13, allowing anybody in but recommended for people over 13.
Kids would love the ending but if your expecting Independance day you'll probably think its the worst thing ever.
I'd like to see a video game sequel
Anything with sex instantly gets rated up....anything with heads exploding and blood gets a 12A....this film probably has a love scene in it.
A couple of tits and it's an 18 but it's fine to have people dying all over the shop in simulated acts of death.
Funny old world we live in.
Personally I like to see them both haha
