This was a careful blend of a past event - cash of the space shuttle and the movie, The Body Snatchers. What an awesome film. I basically knew the plot and didn't care. It was an edge of your seat event. I had no idea who was going to live and who'd die until the very end. Rock on awesome!
No pods in this latest take on INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS called simply, THE INVASION. This time out an extraterrestrial virus has hitched a ride on a returning space-shuttle. Oh no! The shuttle crashes, releasing the viral terror from beyond space! Soon, most of the populace is walking around like mindless cultists from Saturn! Nicole Kidman is one of only a few people who realize that things just aren't right. With the help of Daniel Craig, Ms. Kidman attempts to rid the world of the spreading zombification plague. THE INVASION has plenty of suspense, even though it seems like the heroes figure things out a bit too early and easily. Nicole Kidman is wonderful as usual. The only real gripe I have is the speedy, rather contrived resolution. It felt tacked-on and cheap. However, I watched this movie immediately after watching M. Night Shyamalan's latest mega-dud, THE HAPPENING. Compared to that pile of donkey-doo, THE INVASION is a flawless masterpiece! But, I digress...
