All rights reserved.The Invasion (2008, DVD)
| Movie Description This slick sci-fi horror hybrid is the fourth adaptation of Jack Finney's THE BODY SNATCHERS to land on screens. Infused with modern details like text messaging and 24-hour cable news, THE INVASION updates the classic story for today's tech-centric world. After the space shuttle Patriot crashes unexpectedly, people across America begin to exhibit strange behavior. Psychiatrist Carol Bennell (Nicole Kidman, BEWITCHED) begins to notice the change in those around her, including her ex-husband, Tucker Kaufman (Jeremy Northam, GOSFORD PARK), who works at the CDC. Joined by her friend Ben Driscoll (Daniel Craig, CASINO ROYALE), Carol attempts to unravel the mystery as she rescues her young son. THE INVASION gives Kidman a chance to act the part of an action hero. She runs in heels, crashes cars, and shoots guns, but she looks more like a Hitchcockian blonde than a latter-day heroine. Clad in steely grays, she perfectly matches the film's sober palette of neutrals. Genre veteran Veronica Cartright gives a good performance as one of Carol's patients, who suspects that her husband isn't himself. Cartright has appeared in sci-fi classics such as THE X-FILES and ALIEN, but she also starred in Philip Kaufman's 1978 version of the story. Unlike WAR OF THE WORLDS or SIGNS, the invaders here don't arrive in UFOs or appear as little green (or gray) men. Instead, the threat in THE INVASION is so creepy because the aliens look just like everyone else.

Interestin concept and a fun movie. Review ID: 10000000007003884 Was this review helpful? Report this review This is a far different film than The Body SnatchersI had heard how The Invasion was just a remake of the old The Body Snatchers. The only similarity is the transition still takes place when a person sleeps. The opening scene, with the crash of a shuttle, sets the stage into a near believable chain of events. While never a fan of Nicole Kidman, she fits the role quite well as a psychiatrist. Daniel Craig does a fine job along with the rest of the cast. The premise of the film is that aliens are taking over the earth by introducing their DNA into our systems and converting us. Outwardly we continue to appear the same. The Invasion moves along quickly with a good bit of action. The minutes fly by and suddenly the finale'. Good film, even if you are not a Nicole Kidman fan.:) Review ID: 10000000006750773 Was this review helpful? Report this review NICE REMAKE OF THE 50'S AND 80'S. MODERN TOUCH.Review created: 04/02/08 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. I LIKED THE MODERN TOUCHES IN THE PLOT, AND THE FEW DIFFERENT ANGLES FROM THE ORIGINAL. DID NOT LIKE THE ENDING. I EXPECTED MORE OF A SOLID ENDING. OVERALL IT WAS A GOOD MOVIE. WILL STAY IN MY COLLECTION. Review ID: 10000000006439887 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
