Movie Reviews of The Invasion (Combo HD DVD and Standard DVD) [HD DVD]
Movie Review: Interesting but lacks the powerfull Blu Ray sound
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie was interesting and fast paced but I was really disappointed that the Blu Ray sound quality was lacking! I wish I hadn't spend the extra money to buy this one on Blu Ray!
If you want excellent Blu Ray sound, try 3:10 to Yuma. The sound is uncompressed 7.1 and it's AMAZING!!
Movie Review: Those were some boring snatchers...
Summary: 3 Stars
I remember being excited about this movie when I first saw the trailer, but after watching I think the trailer was better, at least it was short and showed all the interesting parts. This was not a terrible movie, it was watchable but it felt bland and there were really no surprises, half of it was chase scenes, I felt as if I was watching a remake of "The Fugitive" or something, and not to mention Nicole Kidman's frozen face - I think some emotion and wrinkles on her would make her look human, instead she looked more alien than half the invaded bodies. I never saw the original but half way thought the film I asked myself - what is this movie about? It didn't feel that it was about anything; sadly it was people going though actions with no juice and energy behind any of it.
This is something that I can see myself watching once but never again, the character development was completely non existent, even Daniel Craig was lacking, he looked washed out and bored to be there, there was no passion about anything whatsoever. I also felt disappointed by the ending, it disintegrated any hopes of this movie packing a punch, at least if it was horrible and gruesome and wild I would have felt that I watched something, instead it felt like a lukewarm leftover lunch that I ate only because I didn't want to throw it away.

Movie Review: Very Watchable
Summary: 4 Stars
I had no idea that this movie was a remake of the 1978 version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". That being said, I didn't see the original so I have nothing to compare this movie to.
The film opens with a very frantic Carol Bennell (Nicole Kidman) rummaging through the shelves of a pharmacy searching for sleep suppressants. We are then taken back in a recent past where a space shuttle crash lands into the countryside. From the moment that Bennell's ex-husband (Jeremy Northam) pricks his fingers on a foreign organism, life becomes a serious drag for the human species. Bennell, who is a psychiatrist, doesn't get it at first when one of her patients irately claims her husband isn't her husband. But it doesn't take long before Bennell figured out that all is not right.
This could have been an excellent film, but as is all too often the case these days, character development was not a priority. Beyond Kidman, character development was non-existent. How people are being snatched, also, is never adequately, not even remotely explained.
This was NOT a forgettable movie, rather quite memorable. Sure there was a bad ending, but my eyes were attached to the screen throughout the whole film. I didn't look at my watch once, and for me that gives this movie a big bonus.
Movie Review: The Invasion of boring
Summary: 2 Stars
What a was of time, the concept was pretty cool, but come on! It's wayyy to predicatable and not only that, if felt like it was cut off at certain scenes. So-so acting, just rent this at best.Movie Review: A cult classic reborn on DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
This film was Bombarded with aggressive criticicm. I've read too many reviewers just take into it some sort of unexplained anger and pathetic expectations as if it were made by George Lucas and flaunted that it cost so and so millions. Don't read the NyT, don't read the trollies, just consider how fun it could be watching a world where something terrible is expected. You slowly observe a creepy wierding all around you happening, and that maybe you're the only one not affected. And you learn you BETTER not go to sleep or ELSE! Danial Craig and Nicole Kidman are unnerving and fun to watch. Good suspenseful movie.
