The Invasion

Hmm it really seems that our box office today is just filled with remake after remake. The Invasion is the third remake of the classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), which was first remade in 1978 and then again in 1993 and now again in 2007. The one in 1978 with Donald Sutherland, Lenard Nimoy, and Jeff Goldblum was a great remake and became a classic. The one in 1993 simply named Body Snatchers was far from being classic and that is all we will say about that. The Invasion for the most part was a decent film; it had a lot of cool camera work and some generally weird moments. Where this movie fell short was in the plot, it seemed rushed and major plot points seemed to just happen. No time was taken to flush out the story and the characters. Unfortunately they removed the crazy screams from the 1978 version but I can probably look past that. Over all this film was a pretty decent remake and the cool camera work made it worthwhile to see. I recommend it to those people that have nothing to do, but don’t go out of your way to see it.
