To be honest I think this was one of the worst films I've seen for a while. Its a shame because the visuals are great and the general idea had a lot of potential.

Well Abe, I hate to burst your bubble, but "Skyline", is just a rehash of "War of the Worlds". Except in this case, the aliens win. That's probably a more realistic outcome anyway.

(There's a touch of "V" in in it also, with the giant ships over major cities).

The ridiculous flight behavior of the B2 was so far out of touch with such an aircraft's actual capability. You most likely can't roll that bomber, let alone roll it at 720 degrees @ second.

That does parallel the original "War of the Worlds" scene where "the flying wing's gonna deliver the bomb (nuke)". (Northrop Aviation is responsible for the B-2 as well as the earlier, "flying wings", one propeller and one jet. The jet version; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_YB-49

Here's the original 1953 "WoW movie; http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046534/ no, not the 2005 Tom Cruise remake. That would be: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407304/

To answer your original question, "yes, just last night".
