The InvasionThis is one of those rare instances where I really enjoy the movie, although it received mostly bad reviews. Despite this - and so I can also change your mind - I’m going to bite anyway and rave about this film.

I went and saw The Invasion on short notice, therefore having no idea what it was going to be about (well, except that it was probably related to an invasion of some sort). After watching this movie, I decided it had multiple elements - including science fiction and suspense - so it was fairly difficult to classify. Then I realized one word that describes this movie perfectly:

Intense.

Intense, as in, holy crap everyone is turning evil real fast and will that one lady be able to resist? If you haven’t seen this film yet, then that sentence probably didn’t make much sense (and at the same time, I hope it wasn’t too much of a spoiler).

The plot was very refreshing for me… and at the same time, there were parts that seemed cliché. I suppose this is understandable, because The Invasion is actually the second remake of an original film titled The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, which is also based off of a novel.

Hopefully that’s enough encouragement. Go check it out if it seems interesting to any extent.
