... View MoreThere's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
... View MoreA clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
... View MoreI finished the book just 3 days before this mini series aired the first time so the story was fresh in my mind.They kept the main characters and the very basics of the story.And though the rest out.I kept watching each night in horror, hoping it would improve.It never did.The main characters where so over acted and poorly done it was just painful to see. And the plot was so hokey; I swear I saw it once in a Saturday morning cartoon.I think they should pass a law, before you can turn a book into a movie the screenwriters and director should have to read the book first.From now on I'll skip anything made from a book I liked.
... View MoreA virus, presumably of extraterrestrial origin, takes over human beings.By the numbers made-for-tv movie travels down well-known territory with few redeeming virtues. The familiar story is padded with mumbo jumbo galore and cheesy special effects. Even though the acting by most of the cast is decent, there is little else to be remembered.Recommended only to desperate diehards craving for their sci-fi daily shot!!! With due respect to the canine breeds, skip this dog of a movie and go for the real thing. Rent out Don Siegel's Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), Village of the Damned and the underrated Independence Day or any of those wonderful campy sci-fi B-movies of the 50's... and treat yourself to a pleasurable Saturday afternoon and don't forget the right words: Klaatu barada nikto!Rating: 2/10.because of beautiful locations.
... View MoreHokey music, cheesy special effects, a really dumb script, and heavy-handed, pedestrian direction, all drawn out to great lengths - is this a movie? No, clearly it's a TV mini-series, and a poor one at that. The only thing that might attract you to it is some meaningful acting talent, and that certainly is present. I was drawn into watching it by the presence of Kim Catrall and Rebecca Gayheart, both of whose work I've previously admired... but don't make the same mistake. Truly, it's not worth it. Give this one a miss.
... View MoreSpace debris falls from the sky and begins to infect people by controlling them . Where have I seen that plot before ? let me see now THE PUPPET MASTERS , THE BLOB , THE THING , the first three QUATERMASS serials , INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS and umpteen DOCTOR WHO stories . It`s impossible not to be reminded of these stories while watching INVASION . It`s also impossible not to be reminded that they all did the same story a whole lot better than INVASION did also
