    The acting

    The actors in this gave away it was a spoof documentary because of how bad the acting was. At least the way they act they play so straight face it comes off has bs and bad acting tbh.

    Not even remotely out of this world...

    Right, well as I sat down late in 2022 to watch the 2020 sci-fi movie "Skyman", I have to admit that I wasn't really expecting a whole lot from writer and director Daniel Myrick. But on the account of it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give it the benefit of the doubt.

    Well first of all, the movie is shot with a constantly in-motion and shaking camera, hand-held style. Yeah, I am not a fan of that. If I opt to sit down and watch a movie, I don't want to watch something that I could have shot myself with my own DV camera. And that was exactly what "Skyman" looked and felt like.

    As for the storyline in "Skyman", forget about it. Talk about a swing and a miss. This was essentially just about a wobbly camera following a conspiracy loon out in the remote desert, waiting for the grand return of a UFO. Yeah, not really the most riveting and thrilling of plots.

    The acting in the movie was adequate enough. I mean, it felt like the actors and actresses were just told to be themselves while delivering the dialogue that Daniel Myrick had written. So the movie had that natural atmosphere to it, though it did next to nothing to alleviate for the movie's piled up shortcomings in other aspects.

    This 2020 movie was a poor excuse of a sci-fi movie. And if you enjoy movies about UFOs and abductions, I strongly suggest you get your kick elsewhere, because "Skyman" felt like an amateurish homemade video.

    My rating of "Skyman" lands on a one out of ten stars. And absolute waste of time.

    Slow burn without much payoff

    I had noticed this film in various streaming platforms the past few years but had been skipping on it having thought this was an actual documentary - when I noticed it was actually a mocumentary found footage type film I decided to finally give it a go as i'm a huge genre fan.

    I will say the cinematography and acting were pretty good for an indie film like this but where things start to go sideways is that it's a really slow burn and there isn't much of a payoff at the end. There are some suspenseful and interesting moments heading into the films quick and abrupt conclusion but unfortunately the acting here begins to unravel and we have a lot of overacting taking away from what's supposed to be a suspenseful section. There's a "here's what happened" sequence where the conclusion is explained but it was rather thin and felt lazily done. That's unfortunate because if done right, this could have really made the buildup much more worthwhile.

    Overall I'd recommend the film to genre fans but otherwise it's skippable.

    Nothing

    I never like to be harsh for these indie low-budget flicks but this did nothing for me. I never felt the atmosphere, the tension or any kind of fear coming from here. Good acting tho.
