The Invasion (Blu Ray)Review created: 16/08/08
by:
) 
For a remake of a remake of a remake, this turned out better than I expected. Kidman & Craig kept up the mounting paranoia well and there was a good smattering of action to keep things going. Nice crisp Hi-Def picture quality and a reasonable selection of bonus features. Only complaint, the ending was a bit sudden and could have done with a bit more explanation. Made me wonder if some serious cutting had taken place.

WARNING: THEY ARE HERE!Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig are brilliant in this new take on Jack Finneys The Body Snatchers.I um'd and argh'd about this film unsure as to whether it would be as good as the original, well most re-makes are usually tripe but with exceptions and this is one of those rare exceptions. I won't spoil the film for you but this is definately worth a go. Try it you won't be disappointed!

"Effectively creepy and surprisingly unnerving....The new film illustrates why and how the power of the original story remains undiminished more than half a century after its creation."
This slick sci-fi horror hybrid is the fourth adaptation of Jack Finney's THE BODY SNATCHERS to land on screens. Infused with modern details like text messaging and 24-hour cable news, THE INVASION updates the classic story for today's tech-centric world. After the space shuttle Patriot crashes unexpectedly, people across America begin to exhibit strange behavior. Psychiatrist Carol Bennell (Nicole Kidman, BEWITCHED) begins to notice the change in those around her, including her ex-husband, Tucker Kaufman (Jeremy Northam, GOSFORD PARK), who works at the CDC. Joined by her friend Ben Driscoll (Daniel Craig, CASINO ROYALE), Carol attempts to unravel the mystery as she rescues her young son. THE INVASION gives Kidman a chance to act the part of an action hero. She runs in heels, crashes cars, and shoots guns, but she looks more like a Hitchcockian blonde than a latter-day heroine. Clad in steely grays, she perfectly matches the film's sober palette of neutrals. Genre veteran Veronica Cartright gives a good performance as one of Carol's patients, who suspects that her husband isn't himself. Cartright has appeared in sci-fi classics such as THE X-FILES and ALIEN, but she also starred in Philip Kaufman's 1978 version of the story. Unlike WAR OF THE WORLDS or SIGNS, the invaders here don't arrive in UFOs or appear as little green (or gray) men. Instead, the threat in THE INVASION is so creepy because the aliens look just like everyone else.
Something terrifying has come to Earth, something that attacks us while we sleep and turns us into soulless replicants. The clock is ticking as Washington, DC psychiatrist Carol Bennell (Nicole Kidman) and her colleague Ben Driscoll (Daniel Craig) embark on a heart-stopping journey into a nightmarish world where the only way to stay alive is to stay awake. No one can be trusted. No one is safe in producer Joel Silver`s bold new take on Jack Finney`s classic novel The Body Snatchers. Don`t fall asleep! The Invasion is here.
