WHAT I LIKED

Is that it was much better then the 2010 movie Skyline. The movie has a great plot, The actors did a much better job of delivering a story line that you could understand. Action was good. Some of the things I did not like in the first move was done much better.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE

There was some moments I thought that did not needed to be in the film, and slight over acted parts that made you ask why.

SIDE NOTES

This movie was rated R and I thought it could be a PG-13, However it's not a family movie because of intense SY-FY action and violence and slight foul language. Here is a link to my review of the first Skyline, I gave this movie a 6 on IMDB.

The Strain from FX: We know what happened, but we don't know whats next!

I am really impressed how the the writers have developed the story over the course of the first season. You don't see that to often in series , and if you do the fans lose interest. The story starts out with deaths of all the passengers on a airplane, in the cargo was a mysterious box that may hold the secrets of the coming crisis. The story starts out with all kinds of unrelated drama, but soon the story comes together around the four survivors of the people that died on the plane. Episode by episode  the story develops and you know who the main cast is going to be.

Unlike AMC's The Walking Dead where Rick wakes up half naked in bed during the Zombie Apocalypse, you don't know what kind of crisis is going on. Is the Strain a virus or a disease, Zombies, Vampires or something more evil. Your not really sure. There are several connections to the monsters that have a zombie/vampire likeness. There are a lot of questions and they all kind of fit I think. I really like the creepiness with different elements in the story. I am even wondering if there is alien involvement because of events that happened in episode seven called "For Services Rendered" If that was or was not aliens, the writers are doing it well. The show is produced by Guillerermo del Toro. This guy is not afraid to take a chance on imagination.

However I still love and will always watch "The Walking Dead", But I really do like "The Strain"
