October 19, 2009Besides Nicole Kidman in some see-through sleepwear, there's not much of The Invasion that I would care to experience again.The movie is ham-fisted with its message, uninspired, and worst of all, dull.
The plot was about as predictable as it could be. Any suspense that I felt ...( read more) -

April 30, 2009A decent version of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'. Kidman and Craig worked the screen very nicely together, the story is quite interesting and the FX fit the film. Definitely worth catching on cable....

April 7, 2009Washington psychiatrist Nicole Kidman begins to notice changes in her clients which leads her to believe that the human race is being over run by an alien intelligence. In yet another remake (of a remake) of a classic, The Invasion is guilty of the usual Hollywood crimes of putti...( read more)

April 7, 2009No where near as good as the original Donald Sutherland version. Flashy car chases and lots of running dont make a film intense or scary. There's no suspense here, the invaders are just a virus with no real point behind them (would have been better if they were actual aliens) the...( read more)

October 14, 2009Perhaps I would have more enthused if I had not seen the earlier version(s), but I was not necessarily interested in seeing a remake of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers. While this movie was competently made and acted, it didn't really add much to the original. I did like the f...( read more)

October 12, 2009Ehh. Some nice colors, decent child actor performance, Daniel Craig looked like a prettyboy instead of a hunk, other than that nothing special.

Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig save themselves -- but the movie's another matter. full review

The Invasion connects on a gut level in two ways, political and existential. full review

In the way that certain baseball games become pitchers' duels, some movies are cutting-room battles. full review

The ads for this third, count 'em, THIRD remake of the campy 1956 classic sci-fi film 'Invasion Of The Body Snatchers' warn 'Do Not Trust Anyone' (yeah, who tells you to see this movie!) full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
If the first three movies served as parables for their times, this one keeps shooting off parable rockets that fizzle out. How many references in the same movie can you have to the war in Iraq and not... full review

The Invasion is mostly about delivering thrills, and chills, and this it does with moderate success and a bunch of fast, no-nonsense edits. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The Invasion is a science fiction nightmare, the spectacle of actors who can do first-rate work trapped in a soul-destroying mechanism created by madmen. full review

When I heard the movie involved frozen facial expressions, Nicole Kidman and barfing, I assumed it was a documentary about Kidman's Oscar week routine. full review

January 10, 2008I didn't like it the first time but thoroughly enjoyed it during a second viewing. I think it's just because I like Nicole Kidman. It wasn't great but it wasn't crap either. It's just an average sci-fi action film with a better cast and better performances than usual.

Invasion is the weakest rendition of the 1956 Sci-Fi/Horror The Invasion Of The Body Snatchers but it manages to bring some new elements to the film to separate itself from the other previous remakes but the problem is that this version isn't as creepy or scary as the others.The only one that stands out as expected is Nicole Kidman with her good performance not enough to make this film a memorable one. -
August 31, 2007I saw it yesterday and call me names for all I care but I really loved it! It's a good thing I'd decided to watch it regardless of all the bad things critics said.
