The Invasion

The fourth remake of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers novel. Fifth if you consider the Wachowski Brothers and James Teague coming on board to rewrite and shoot parts of the film b/c the studio didn't like what director Oliver Hirschbiegel delivered. Hopefully Hirschbiegel's version will someday see the light on DVD just as they did with the Exorcist prequel. I give this version 3 G's out of 5. I've only ever seen the 78' version so I can't compare it to any of the others. The 78' version is a classic Sci-fi film and unfortunately this version doesn't stand up to that remake. One great thing about the 78' version was it's apocalyptic ending. This time however they don't go that route, unless you consider going back to being human apocalyptic enough. You may or may not end up liking this one depending on if you've seen any of the other remakes, but if you're in the mood for some Sci-fi on the big screen this is your ticket.
