Rated - 5 starssuperb.........

williamsgwynfa [Highly rated reviewer] , 24/03/2007

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.

Rated - 2 starsA very average movie full of mistakes

master from Watford [Highly rated reviewer] , 12/02/2008

This is not a great movie but is not very bad ether, the story is ok but only ok! very similar to 28 days later or the faculty. Is always the same story population is infected by virus, end of humanity, hero or heroine find antidote humanitu saved. the film is full of mistakes like people being shoot on the chest but they bleed from the back head and people flying away before the impact happen, well if you are interested in whatch it, well only do it if you don`t mind mistakes on movies.

Rated - 2 starsdull remake

eviljimmyd from Shipley [Highly rated reviewer] , 01/03/2008

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.

Rated - 2 starsDissapointing

A customer from Newport , 27/02/2008

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.

Rated - 3 starsGood, but shame about the ending

rabbitzfoot from Northwich , 03/07/2008

It was a good film, but shame about the ending, a bit of a dissapointment. It could have been better thought through.

Rated - 2 starsBest watch the original

Blackrat from FLACKWELL HEATH , 02/07/2008

As most of us have the attention span of goldfish I will keep this short. Good = Nichole Kidman who has mastered the 'slightly dippy woman forced to find hidden depths' style of acting. Bad = the ending - what were they thinking? It makes no sense and whilst cinema may be about the suspension of disbelief this is a step too far. I'm assuming pandering to the american audience was involved but in future I suggest using a more robust section of the world community, the Aussies spring to mind, when gaining pre-release feedback. Watch the Donald Sutherland version, it's better by miles.
