Invasion

The Invasion [Blu-ray]
$35.99
This is the third, I think, re-make of the 1956 film 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' by Don Siegel. In 1978 there was a first re-make featuring Donald Sutherland as the lead character.

I have to compare this new one to the 1978 re-make, which I see as the best of all versions, even better than the original 1956 version.

First of all the 1978 re-make was alot scarier, the suspense grew throughout the film as the truth behind the invasion unraveled, it had an excellent build-up and surprise ending.

In this new re-make the "truth" is revealed far too easily and quickly, there is not much build-up.
For example, the main character just happens to be friends with doctors, who then happens to who have connections with the military etc...these "coincidences" takes away some of the excitement, the main character gets everything handed to her on a plate.

Another significant difference is that this new version has another ending.

This new one also has an irritating political spin, using the Iraqi war as the background for this spin,...you know, the usual "is mankind destined to self-destruct? ".

So the storyline could have been much better, it felt very rushed and abit sloppy. In contrast, the story line in the 1978 re-make is alot more subtle and refined.

But there are two good things I can say about this film: the acting by Nicole Kidman is very good, and so is the directing.
The film feels fresh and the co-actors, like Daniel Craig, were convincing in their roles.

So in summary, this is a decent re-make, but that's all, it's not fantastic by any means, those who think so should see the 1978 re-make.
