Movie Reviews of The Invaders - Seasons 1 - 2
Movie Review: Made me feel 40 years younger!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a kid I used to look forward to the night that The Invaders was on just as positively as a child would look forward to the start of the summer vacation. Of all the great shows of this period which included Star Trek by the way, this was this then early teenagers favorite. For some reason the show seemed to never go into syndication (the video will tell you that it is one of the most popular shows in syndication in Europe). The Sci-Fi Channel finally ran the series in the early 1990s and I taped them. Well, VHS tape breaks down and of course I had to deal with commercials so it was with GLEE that I found this fine series on DVD. I couldn't order quickly enough and once again felt like a 13 year old again awaiting the delivery.
Once the shipment arrived I spent several days at work feeling like roadkill from staying up late watching this show. I still feel that it was the finest Quinn Martin Production made and brought paranoia to life in a manner which few if any programs have managed before or since. The program has aged quite well, much better than this viewer has and remains actually a well written and of course well produced adult oriented thriller featuring a main character portrayed by Roy Thinnes whose acting skills actually lets you get the feel of being a person who is a sole witness to an ongoing,hidden alien invasion and can find few believers to help him in his virtually single handed defense of our planet and oh so slowly only gradually picking up fellow witnesses as he fights the enemy that has taken human form (though some exhibit a peculiarity of their hand), with their sole motivation being to make our world, theirs. If this show came out today, with or without todays digital special effects which this show did not have available, it would be extremely successful in this viewers belief.
The Fugitive was a Quinn Martin Production as were several other highly successful shows of the period but this relatively unknown production was by far superior to all the others. If you never saw this program when it originally aired or if you did and have forgotten it, trust me and purchase this series of DVDs. The price is a bargain and all you will lose will be a bit of productivity at the jobsite as, like a great book, it is really hard to stop watching this once you start which will lead to numerous nights of limited sleep.
This quite simply was my most enjoyable purchase in recent memory and made this balding 55 year old feel like the 13 and 14 year old he was when he first enjoyed this finely crafted and thrilling show when it originally aired.
Trust me and buy it while you can. I guarantee you, no matter your age, that if high action science fiction appeals to you that you cannot find a better purchase. If high action science fiction hasn't appealed to you before then it will if you take the chance and view this classic late 1960's era series. And do not miss the special feature at the end of the last video of the series and when you view each program chose Mr. Thinnes introduction to each program.
Man, I am so glad I bought this series! I hope you do too!
