Pros: Good cast and interesting idea for the plot Cons: Not suspenseful or interesting enough. Predictable for the most part.
I have enjoyed most of the movies that I have seen Nicole Kidman in and I am usually willing to give her movies a chance. I thought that The Invasion< b>< i> had potential when I saw trailers for it. I was only recently able to see the movie ...

Pros: aliens of course Cons: Nicole Kidman as robot psychologist, lack of characters and plot, long pseudo-science explanations
The 2007 remake of The Invasion of the Body Snatchers unfortunately is a dud. The problem lies in its paltry attempts to update the storyline for modern audiences. Screenwriter Dave Kajganich decides for some weird reason that The Invasion should be ...

Pros: could have been good Cons: wasted idea, bad chemistry of cast, weak plot development, boring
It had been a while since the last version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers had come along, so I guess it wasn't surprising that another one would be made. Although, I must admit, when I saw this movie going through its promotion, I thought it ...

Pros: Cast, production value. Cons: Choppy pacing, predictability.
The Invasion (2007) is a big budget movie initially directed by German film director Oliver Hirschbiegel and later James McTeigue. The film immediately begins in flashback mode showing Dr. Carol Bennell (Nicole Kidman) a psychiatrist rambling ...

Pros: Fast paced, great special effects and make-up Cons: Those who have been invaded are a bit wooden...
I've always been a fan of Science Fiction movies especially films about Aliens from space of all kinds and sizes and, when I was a kid, I was terrified by the original movie, The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, with those pods that absorbed the ...

Pros: Fast paced, no lag time Cons: Extremely predictable! Too many remakes of the original.
The Invasion (2007), based off the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the book The Body Snatchers (Jack Finney) is a taste of the past, as we remember those frightening cocoon people whos mind and bodies were absorbed ...

Pros: Remake of a classic, genuinely creepy, brilliant in spots. Cons: A bit choppy.
The Invasion (2007) Directed by Oliver Hershbeigel and James McTeigue This remake of the 1956 classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers owes much to the subsequent remakes; the 1978 superlative remake, and the more forgettable 1993 remake, ...

Pros: Daniel Craig is seriously hot.... I mean, smokin' baby. Cons: Even Daniel Craig's congenital hotness is not enough to save the film...
Okay, lets just say it and get it over with, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. For all of you not familiar with the Jack Finney novel, just think back to those creature double features you morbidly fixated on as a kid. Remember the storyline where an ...

Pros: Kidman Cons: Casting, tone, characters, visuals, script
Nicole Kidman plays a divorced psychiatrist who has just handed her son (Jackson Bond) over to her ex (Jeremy Northam), which might not be such a wise thing given Northam has been overtaken by an alien virus that takes over your DNA. Soon the virus has ...

Pros: Innovative retelling, high production values, good acting. Cons: This is a remake and we already know part of the story.
Jack Finney's sci-fi novel of more than a half-century ago, The Body Snatchers, has been filmed at least three times: The original 1956 film, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, starring Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter; a 1978 remake of the ...

Pros: Reasonably competant retelling Cons: Kidman's face
The first thing that came into my head as The Invasion began was “Plastic Surgery”; in the two years since actress Nicole Kidman had made a physical appearance on screen she had lost a good five years, and most annoyingly she had developed that rather ...

Pros: Kidman is great looking, as always. Cons: Ho-hum, same old, same old. Child acting only so-so.
Just saw THE INVASION on tv with my better half.Eh!. After about 10 minutes, I commented that this movie reminded me a lot of THE INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. As it turns out, that is exactly what this was. How many re-makes can ...
