Invasion

Pros: Fast paced, great special effects and make-up

Cons: Those who have been invaded are a bit wooden...

The Bottom Line: A well done fast paced version of a story told before. Nicole Kidman does a fine job.

Review: 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 ...

Pros: Remake of a classic, genuinely creepy, brilliant in spots.

Cons: A bit choppy.

The Bottom Line: This movie just misses being great. It is still a solid effort.

Review: The Invasion (2007) Directed by Oliver Hershbeigel and James McTeigue This remake of the 1956 classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers owes much to the subsequent remakes; the 1978 superlative remake, and the more forgettable 1993 remake, ...

Pros: Innovative retelling, high production values, good acting.

Cons: This is a remake and we already know part of the story.

The Bottom Line: Whether you've seen any of the earlier versions, this may well be the best and highly entertaining in its own right.

Review: Jack Finney's sci-fi novel of more than a half-century ago, The Body Snatchers, has been filmed at least three times: The original 1956 film, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, starring Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter; a 1978 remake of the ...

Pros: Cast, production value.

Cons: Choppy pacing, predictability.

The Bottom Line: Recommended only to Sci-Fi, Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig fans.

Review: 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 ...

Pros: Daniel Craig is seriously hot.... I mean, smokin' baby.

Cons: Even Daniel Craig's congenital hotness is not enough to save the film...

The Bottom Line: Read review.

Review: Okay, let’s just say it and get it over with, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. For all of you not familiar with the Jack Finney novel, just think back to those creature double features you morbidly fixated on as a kid. Remember the storyline where an ...

Pros: Reasonably competant retelling

Cons: Kidman's face

The Bottom Line: Another re-hash of of Jack Finneys book Bodysnatcher's

Review: The first thing that came into my head as The Invasion began was “Plastic Surgery”; in the two years since actress Nicole Kidman had made a physical appearance on screen she had lost a good five years, and most annoyingly she had developed that rather ...

Pros: Kidman is great looking, as always.

Cons: Ho-hum, same old, same old. Child acting only so-so.

The Bottom Line: Hardly any different than any other Body Snatcher flick.  A few subtle changes.  Not my favorite version, by far. 

Review: Just saw THE INVASION on tv with my better half.Eh!. After about 10 minutes, I commented that this movie reminded me a lot of THE INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. As it turns out, that is exactly what this was. How many re-makes can ...

Pros: Good cast and interesting idea for the plot

Cons: Not suspenseful or interesting enough. Predictable for the most part.

The Bottom Line: The Invasion had an interesting premise that failed to go anywhere.

Review: 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< b>< i> had potential when I saw trailers for it. I was only recently able to see the movie ...

Pros: aliens of course

Cons: Nicole Kidman as robot psychologist, lack of characters and plot, long pseudo-science explanations

The Bottom Line: The remake of The Invasion of the Body Snatchers neighter captures the essence of the original nor makes a good sci-fi film...

Review: 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 ...

Pros: Fast paced, no lag time

Cons: Extremely predictable! Too many remakes of the original.

The Bottom Line: The Invasion is a fast paced 'thriller,' but it is extremely predictable.

Review: 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 ...
