Don't sleep; they take you when you sleep.

4 of 5 stars for the sci-fi movie Invasion. This movie is a variation of the "bodysnatcher's" genre. As with other movies of this type, those who have been "snatched" move slowly, calmly and peacefully. In this movie, that is how "they" tell those who are infected and those who are not yet infected. OK, a strange new infection is brought to earth from space. Once a person is infected (passes from person to person) they turn into these peaceful slow moving zombies. The key to the infection is to not sleep! The lead character is played by Nicole Kidman who does a great job. Interesting to watch how she learns to move about in the community of the zombies without being discovered. Usually zombie movies are low budget "B" movies; this one has high production values, looks great, and is well crafted. Call it an "A" class zombie movie. Minimal violence. This is a good movie and well worth watching. The Blu-Ray has a good selection of additional contents. I do recommend this movie.

The movie was more personable then most invasion movies.Nicole Kidmans mom character and her fight to find her son was great. It just seemed to be lacking in other areas. The small amount of time Daniel Craig was on as usual he did great.Would have liked to see more of Kidman and Craig together.

A failed remake

This is a remake of "Invasion of the body snatchers" that just seems to fail to deliver the goods. The 1978 version, which if I'm not mistaken is also a remake, was much better than this version. Donald Sutherland was amazing in that movie and I think it is a shame that some of the remakes that are coming out today just seem so bland. Special effects are not a replacement for good writing and good acting. It is as simple as that.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

not worth buying

It's an alright movie but not worth buying. Ending is pretty corny. Feels like you've seen this before. And it never really seemed so dramatic.
