Movie Reviews of The Invasion

Movie Review: Pod People Again
Summary: 4 Stars

Each incarnation of the Jack Finney story has been a product of the time inwhich the film was made. The original during the Cold War, the Phil Kaufmann remake during a time of Jonestown and other cults. Now this version in the era of the pandemic. This isn't a bad picture. It just isn't remarkably new. Daniel Craig, while working on this picture, got the word he had been tapped to follow Pierce Brosnan as 007.

Movie Review: Not Great But Not Horrible Either
Summary: 3 Stars

This is the latest remake of the 1956 original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." Clearly, it isn't as well written as that movie, or the 1978 remake starring Donald Sutherland. The beginning of the movie features the space shuttle crashing and spreading alien spores from space across a large part of the southern U.S. It shows clips of CNN footage, which may in fact be actual footage from the Columbia disaster(?). Either way, I thought this foundation of the movie was hastily and sloppily done. But after that the movie becomes rather interesting...and fast paced. In some respects, I thought it was scarier and creepier than the original. Nicole Kidman does a fine job in the leading role. However, there is no escaping the fact that this is just another remake. If you have seen the 1956 and 1978 versions, you will no doubt be a little disappointed. But I still found it worth watching.

Movie Review: Greatest Movie of ALL TIME
Summary: 5 Stars

I can honestly say that if you enjoy trash then this will please you. The Invasion has camp horror appeal without trying. Don't take this movie seriously, or else you won't enjoy the mindless vomiting onto other people, or an Asian child being thrown against a bedrail for... no particular reason. More laugh-out-loud moments than any movie I've seen this year.

Movie Review: It's a FAILED INVASION
Summary: 1 Stars

There's no suspense at all. There's nothing special about the effects. It's boring from the begining till the end. Nicole Kidman could not save the film.
