Sounds like a good idea on paper. Lack of different sets added to the problem battle for skyark yet we see almost none of sky ark. Predicable
Weak, not worth watching. Characters, Plot and Set were all lacking.
How do films like this get made? I'm sure that I'll never know. But somebody spent a fair amount of cash producing this nonsense.
The good: It's short?
The bad: Everything else. There is no discernible plot of any kind. The characters actions make absolutely no sense. There's no exposition, no climax, no goal to achieve, and it ends as a cliffhanger. The acting is unforgivable. No part of the story makes the slightest attempt to follow a thread of logic. Kids are beating up/killing adults at every preposterous turn. The fortified camp of survivors on the planet's surface is essentially a ring of shopping carts pushed together with some cardboard for extra reinforcement. The dialogue is embarrassing for any genre regardless of expected audience. The special effects don't even make sense (is the "skyark" a few hundred feet above the ground hovering or in orbit? You'll never know; you'll never care). As a distraction for sitting through this dreck, I tried to think of a worse film that I've ever watched; all I could come up with was "Ski Patrol" ... maybe, but Ski Patrol at least had a dog that could fart on command which exceeds any of the talents in Battle for SkyArk.
The verdict: This is not worth your time, money, or effort to make sense of. It's simply one of the worst movies that has ever been made. It has absolutely no redeeming virtues. Nothing that could have been done to this film could possibly have made it worse - it is the low marker for judging movies. Imagine the worst anime that you've ever sat through being turned into a live-action film by a group of 5 junior high school students with a handicam... that is better than this by a factor of 100. Run away!
This isn't a great film, HOWEVER, look on it like a school play, with all the good and bad that comes from an amateur production. On that level, you might get something from it. If you're looking for the next YA blockbuster, forget it!
junk... more interesting stuff to see... like watching grass growing...

terribly boring, weak characters, very tedious. Main cast all kids, so no real action either. Avoid
