Just back from TGV Bukit Raja watched “The Invasion” with my friend.. I think the last time i watched movie was Transformers .. i feel i started to forget the taste of popcorn already.. hehe
About this movie, Hmm quite surprise la as this movie got A+ list actor but a little bit disappointed la..The 1st half hour made me yawn and keep eating my popcorn.. ( if i manage to finish the popcorn within 15min, that mean the movie is bo hoo ringgg!!)
I was really exciting when watching this movie just because of NIcole KIdmann only! the story was not that suspend though.. . However, still can consider la as my friends paid for my ticket! Thanks dude. Hehee.. ( no free ticket no movie okee)
I rank it D .. dont watch it, just buy or rent any pirated DVD
Pros
* Daniel Craig looks great as does Nicole Kidman
* Nicole KIdman Nicole Kidman
* There are a few moments when “The Invasion” is actually suspenseful
Cons
* Those suspenseful moments are surrounded by bland and boring filler
* Jump cutting back and forth to tell the story doesn’t work in this case
* The plot leaves a lot to be desired
* Doesn’t trust the audience to figure anything out on our own
The Synopsis
The aliens that hitch a ride aboard a space shuttle definitely aren’t from the same planet as Spielberg’s ET and when the shuttle crashes, a pandemic of incredible proportions is unleashed. The spread of the extraterrestrials is quick, happening overnight to anyone who comes in contact with someone who’s been infected. Victims change into unemotional zombies who wander around looking for more people to infect.
Kidman plays psychiatrist Carol Bennell whose ex-husband (Jeremy Northam) is one of the first to be changed. Once she and her friend Ben Driscoll (Craig) begin to figure out what’s going on, it becomes a race to save her only child from her ex and his alien cohorts.
