Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: D Jan 24, 2012 Full Review Cliff Doerksen Time Out Rated: 1/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Paul Arendt BBC.com Having established an effectively creepy mood in the first half, the film eventually degenerates into a muddled mess, with Nicole and Daniel Craig dodging zombies while popping amphetamines in a desperate effort to stay awake. We know how they feel. Rated: 2/5 Oct 16, 2007 Full Review Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene Audiences pretty much ignored this film in 2007, but way too much of it feels far too resonant in The Now, and it plays like the sharpest and coldest of prophecy. Sep 10, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com It's a safe bet that The Invasion will be invading local video stores in the not so distant future. Rated: 1.5/4.0 Sep 12, 2020 Full Review Nick Pinkerton Stop Smiling As straight-ahead, propulsive, reptilian-brain action, it "works" as often as not. But it's unworthy to stand with its predecessors. Dec 12, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Jay W There is a plot about Nicole Kidman's character having to stay awake to avoid having her body being snatched. The director made a bold choice to help the audience relate to the characters. I empathized with Kidman in that I was also struggling to stay awake for the vast majority of the film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Diogo A Muito bom esse filme, assisto uma vez por ano Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Spike D Everything is telegraphed so clumsily that you can't help but feel patronised, if not offended, by its unending ham-fistedness. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review sarah w Oh dear … strangely directed. … confusing in a way that I stayed with it trying to figure out … like I fell asleep and missed something so did a few rewinds … maybe that was the point but I gave up … weird sensation ..couldn’t make it to the end… odd film but not in an enjoyable way Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Jonathan O This 3rd remake of body snatchers is absolutely the worst. The 1956 original and the remake of 1978 better version are both really great versions but this is not is not scary and no thrills. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: INVASORES Assistido: 7-7-24 Elenco: @nicolekidman @danielcraigofficial #danielcraig @jfreewright @jacksonbond @jeremynorthamfans Modelo: #ficção #suspense Duração: 1h 39m Ano: 2007 Minha opinião: Temos aqui mais um filme de pocessão alienígena. O Enigma de Outro Mundo, Invasores de Corpos, A Hospedeira, 5ª Onda, Os Invasores de Corpos, Parasyte,.... Neste filme temos Nicole Kidman e Daniel Craig com eles já chama a atenção para querer assistir. Uma das naves da NASA explode quando esta fazendo sua reentada no planeta. Assim vários pedaços acabam se expalhando. E no meio dos destroços é encontrado um virús alienígena que suporta ao frio do espaço e a altas temperaturas como da entrada na Terra. Oque não sabiam que este vírus é despertado depois que a pessoa entra no sono ren. E passa a dominar o cérebro humano, formando desta forma uma comunidade. A infecção se faz por contagio direto. Temos o Ex-marido de Carol (Kidman) uma psicanalista e seu ex. Tucker (Northam) trabalha para o governo, juntos tem um filho Oliver. Turker acaba se infeccionando quando uma menina lhe mostra um pedaço da espaçonave que estava continado. Assim ele passa a ser possuído, e ele passa a possuir outros que outros possuem outros. Dra. Carol percebe que esta ocorrendo que as pessoas tem mudado de comportamento, até encontrar uma gosma e entregar para Bem (Craig) que leva para Galeano (Wright) que é um pesquisador e faz descobertas. Carol descobre que seu filho é imune e passa os motivos para Galeano e Bem. No momento que NY esta sendo sitiada Oliver passa a ser refém de seu pai Tucker que vê nele um perio e quer elimina-lo. Então Carol sai embusca des seu filho de forma frenética com a ajuda de Bem, mas ele também acaba infectado. E em várias passagens de tensão e suspense vai desenrolando o filme. Nicole tem uma atuação de corre, corre, tiros, e ação como não havia visto, pois os papeis dela na maioria não tem este perfil. E ve-la assim foi legal. Ao final Nicole consegue salvar Oliver e levar ao laboratório e assim se descobre uma forma de salvar as pessoas infectadas. E quando elas voltaram, não se lembravam doque havia acontecido, como se tivesse acordado de um sono. O filme termina com um certo suspense, tipo será que todos estão curados? Roteiro e enredo bom, não dos melhores, bom. Vale apena assistir? sim Nota: 7 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
