Skyline (2010)

In the event of a massive alien invasion resulting in millions of deaths and the devastation of your entire city, including 99.9 percent of your best pals, please do not take the elevator. Use the stairs. That’s one of many lessons you can take away from “Skyline,” a low-budget sci-fi thriller that plays like a bad Saturday Night Sci-Fi (now Sy-Fy) Channel movie that wormed its way into theaters.

They did CGI work on such flicks as “300” and “Titanic,” according to IMDB. But storytellers they are not.
