The Invasion used fragments and thematic elements of several other alien invasion films, so it felt a little too familiar to me. However, even with phrase "This has been done before" running through my head, it managed to keep my interest and frighten/thrill me just enough. The acting was strong and the I felt that Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman had chemistry and connection. The pace of the film was perfect. The quieter scenes never dragged and were scattered amoungst some thrilling and intense scenes. I would reccommend this film to anyone who enjoys being thrilled by a little sci-fi.

I grew up with the (1978) Sutherland version, which was a nice remake itself to the 1956 original. This new remake is great. It has a perfect mixture of suspence, humor, action and drama to keep you entertained. Kidman proves herself again to be a great actress in suspence movies (Others, Dead Calm) and her co-star, Daniel Craig, is wonderful as her side-kick. The movie has some great scenes. The editing/story-telling of the movie is usually, but it works, and adds an fresh update to a classic movie. There are no Alien Pods, but the movie works without them. I would highly recommend thi s movie if you like 28 Weeks Later or the Faculty. It was fast paced, with great writing, and acting.

Loved this Show! It was a great RE-MAKE. I say a must see if you love the suspensful keep you watching but wrenching your hand Suspense. Nicole Kidman did a GREAT JOB! A MUST SEE. Note: Not for kids under 13 - images are lasting and their are some GROSS things. So 13 and up. :)

My husband and I saw this movie last night and could not believe that Nicole Kidman was a part of this movie. There was no continuity from scene to scene. It was not scary or supsenseful. The basic story line was actually quite boring. I think they could have really done a lot better. Nicole Kidman's hair and make up seem to change from one moment to the next. And they have used so much touch up work on Nicole Kidman that her face almost looks un-real (think Cybill Sheppard from Moonlighting). We do have empathy for Nicole Kidman's character as we were struggling to stay awake also. I wouldn't even wait for the DVD. This movie was a real disappointment.

You know, I've read every one of the reviews and inspite of the obvous negative reviews becase the reviewer liked the original 1956 with Kevin Mcarthy or the 78 version with Sutherland and Goldblum..., I have to say that this was worth the money. The no-no and no reviewers just don't like remakes. I really thought it was entertaining ... suspensful in some scenes and mild in others ... Kidman did a very nice job as the psychiatrist/whistle blower for the movie .... the twist is a bit different on how the 'virus' was contarcted and spread but good ... adding Veronica Cartwright from the 78 version was a nice idea as well. I would go and see this for yourself ... good for the whole family (maybe not under 10 ) great date movie !!...my only complaints is that there wasn't more to it ... I don't mean cheezy CGI, just a bit more ... ) 8^)
