| 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.

Reviews  Nice Good BluRay Movie A very good sci-fi movie. Much Cheaper on Ebay than any retail store! BluRay has the best picture and the best sound of any DVD. New stuff for the new age. Review ID: 10000000006977706 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Attack of the Body Stacher Faces realtiyThis was a good movie if you are into the alien body snatchers trying to take over your body and phase out the human race. This movie beat out all the alien body abductions because there is hint reality into play. This goes into the issues one would face if family and friends where to become abducted by aliens. Will you run or try to fit in is the question. Review ID: 10000000006651718 Was this review helpful?

Report this review  Invasion~Here They Come Again~A Gripping New Take With Nicole Kidman~Don't Go To Sleep NicoleReview created: 02/05/08 by: ifif1938-- a member of Epinions and Advisor in Movies Pros: Fast paced, great special effects and make-up Cons: Those who have been invaded are a bit wooden... I've always been a fan of Science Fiction movies especially films about Aliens from space of all kinds and sizes and, when I was a kid, I was terrified by the original movie, The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, with those pods that absorbed the mind and thoughts of those it were put next to it while they slept then, years later, another version of that movie came out and it was pretty good too then last year, one of my favorite TV shows of the season, featured another kind of Body Snatcher when newly hatched former humans emerged out of the oozing Everglades after a hurricane hit the...

Cons: Choppy pacing, predictability. The Invasion (2007) is a big budget movie initially directed by German film director Oliver Hirschbiegel and later James McTeigue. The film immediately begins in flashback mode showing Dr. Carol Bennell (Nicole Kidman) a psychiatrist rambling through pharmacy shelves searching for drugs and caffeine inundated drinks. The scene then moves to the accidental crash of the Patriot Space Shuttle. This incident is investigated by CDC Dr. Tucker Kaufman (Jeremy Northam) who is given a piece of the shuttle by a little girl. Infected by the space shuttle s fragment, he returns home bypasses a late... Review ID: 10000000006847199  Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig Battle The InvasionReview created: 03/26/08 by: dragonfire88-- a member of Epinions and Advisor in Movies Pros: Good cast and interesting idea for the plot Cons: Not suspenseful or interesting enough. Predictable for the most part. I have enjoyed most of the movies that I have seen Nicole Kidman in and I am usually willing to give her movies a chance. I thought that The Invasion had potential when I saw trailers for it. I was only recently able to see the movie after finally renting it. Unfortunately it didn't live up to the potential. The space shuttle Patriot exploded when it reentered the atmosphere to land and debris was scattered all across the country. Tucker Kaufman, who worked for the CDC, became infected when a young girl came up to him and handed him a piece of the shuttle. Once Tucker went to sleep, the alien. Review ID: 10000000006847201 The Invasion - The "Discovery Channel" remake of a classicReview created: 02/02/08 by: t13monkeys-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Movies Pros: aliens of course Cons: Nicole Kidman as robot psychologist, lack of characters and plot, long pseudo-science explanations The 2007 remake of The Invasion of the Body Snatchers unfortunately is a dud. The problem lies in its paltry attempts to update the storyline for modern audiences. Screenwriter Dave Kajganich decides for some weird reason that The Invasion should be like The Discovery Channel and wastes precious screen time wallowing in the science-fiction reality by showing us in vivid 3d cells being consumed by a foreign parasite of some sort and literally rewriting the DNA. As a biologist, it s nice they tried to put effort into creating a plausible explanation for alien life and blah blah, but really now,. Review ID: 10000000006847202 Nicole Kidman Needs No More Plastic Surgery In The InvasionReview created: 06/05/08 by: lyoness913-- a member of Epinions and Advisor in Movies Pros: Fast paced, no lag time Cons: Extremely predictable! Too many remakes of the original. The Invasion (2007), based off the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the book The Body Snatchers (Jack Finney) is a taste of the past, as we remember those frightening cocoon people who s mind and bodies were absorbed through alien skin. I wasn t really sure what to expect because I hadn t seen the original movie in so long, but I am pretty much happy to see Nicole Kidman in anything. I ve loved her since her Tom Cruise days, and I am so happy that she got away from the couch-jumping nut case. However, I must say that The Invasion was a disappointment for me. I didn t really enjoy the.. Review ID: 10000000007467122 Epinions.com ratings are not included in the item's average rating. Links in this review may have been removed. |
