    superb.........

    this film stars Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, and is superb.

    Nicole stars as a Washington, D.C. psychiatrist who finds herself in the midst of a mysterious epidemic that alters human behaviour.

    She soon learns that the epidemic is extraterrestrial in cause, and also that her son might be the key to preventing an immediate invasion.

    When her son becomes infected, she and a colleague must work together to find a cure, before the entire world is lost.

    it has a touch of 'The invasion of the body snatchers' about it, but is very good. well worth renting out.

    dull remake

    I wasn't obvious to me when I saw this at the cinema - but it's yet another remake of invasion of the body snatchers.

    Except it's got a happy ending.

    Don't bother with it.

    Invasion

    Not the greatest of movies, it started off with promise but went down hill fast!! Expected more from Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman. It had a very rushed ending which left you thinking 'is that it!!'

    Dissapointing

    The ending was the most dissapointing part for me because the film literally just stopped, as though they couldn't be bothered to finish it properly. Infact they didn't elaborate the story in any shape or form.

    Lousy

    Really bad - Words cannot describe how weak this film is. Daniel Craig should be ashamed to be in it. Nicole Kidman is dreadful and the ending is one of the worst, most hurried wrap ups, I have ever seen.

    the lowest point of kidmans career?

    can't say i'm a massive fan of either actor but i'd not heard of this (should have set the alarm bells rining) and i'm a bit of a sci-fi fan so thought i'd give it a go. i was that amazed by how bad it was i had to sit through it to make sure it wasn't a joke. just shows you shouldn't mess with mr. cruise! it feels like 20 minutes was cut from the middle of the film. rent the original invasion of the bodysnatchers instead!

    absolutely ridiculous

    I couldn't actually believe this film, what purile nonsense for a concept and an awful script. I can't understand how 2 such great actors could end up with this load of rubbish. If aliens puking on you to make you like them is your cup of tea (or coffee if you end up watching this), then power to you... a digusting waste of time.
