The Invasion opens when a space shuttle crashed and it's pieces landed back on earth bringing some sort of extraterritorial organism back with it, and caused chaos, as pandemic spreads, and human turns into alies, that look like human that is, and it spreads fast overnight, people who are infected change into unemotional aliens, or zombies, wandering around, looking for more real human to infect. Nicole Kidman plays a psychiatrist Carol Bennel, in which it reminds me a lot of The Forgotten - whose ex-husband is one of the first one to become aliens. Once she and her status-unknown friend, Ben Driscoll played by Daniel Craig began to uncover the mysterious virus that infects people, it began a race to save her child from her ex husband, in which, her son, is so ironically, immune to the infection.
The first released poster is as shown above, which I quite dig, and was mislead to think it's a psycho-thriller kind of movie, which turns out to be about some ET invading earth, in the most cliche kinda way. I swear to god the final poster (below) looked exactly like a rip off from X-Files, was it just me, that Daniel Craig looked like David Duchonvy, and Nicole Kidman looked just like Gillian Anderson?
Movie, was hmm... like, totally whatever. It was a really weird movie - like a really bad breed of The Forgotten, X-Files and some other Zombie movies (Dawn of the dead, 28 Days/Weeks Later). It's not half as ridiculous as The Forgotten but lacks the whackiness of 28 Days/Weeks Later. If had the human turn into zombie, like I mean with make ups and shits, it would've been more compelling.
Director James McTeigue was hired at later stage of the production to perform uncredited re-shoots of some of the scenes in the movie, resulting some very noticeable sloppy editing in the movie, which could be mistakenly read as 'artsy editing'.
However, not everything about this movie is bad, some scenes are actually really suspenseful, and manage to keep me jumpin' off my seats. Much of the reason the movie was not so much of a pain to watch is because Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig is driving the storyline. Have they been some other actors, this movie won't be able so sustain the lack of pretty much everything in the movie.
