“Skylines,” directed by Liam O’Donnell, is the third installment in the Skyline franchise, a sci-fi action film set in a post-apocalyptic future where humanity has been at war with alien invaders. The story follows Captain Rose Corley, a human-alien hybrid with extraordinary abilities, who is tasked with saving humanity from a new threat.

After the events of the previous films, Rose has gone into hiding, grappling with her identity and powers. However, she is brought back into action when a deadly virus begins to turn friendly alien hybrids, who had integrated into human society, back into hostile creatures. The virus threatens to reignite the conflict between humans and aliens, potentially leading to the extinction of both species.

Rose is recruited by General Radford to lead a team of elite soldiers on a dangerous mission to the alien mothership, now orbiting Earth, to retrieve a crucial piece of alien technology that can stop the virus. Among her team are Trent, a tough-as-nails soldier, and Leon, a skilled pilot, who share a deep camaraderie and personal stakes in the mission.

As they journey through the alien ship, they encounter various challenges, including hostile environments, alien creatures, and internal conflicts within the team. Rose’s leadership and her unique abilities become crucial as they fight their way to the core of the ship. The mission not only tests their physical endurance but also their trust in one another.

In the climax, Rose faces the ultimate test of her powers and her identity, confronting both the alien threat and the moral implications of their mission. The film explores themes of sacrifice, identity, and the enduring struggle for survival against overwhelming odds.

“Skylines” combines high-octane action with intricate sci-fi elements, building on the lore of the previous films while introducing new characters and challenges. It offers a thrilling continuation of the battle between humans and aliens, with Rose Corley at the heart of a fight to save not just her people but the future of both species.
