I love this movie so much

Beautiful, moving film.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Come on you lot, lighten up, its not that bad, reminds me of lots of old British Science Fiction, 'Dr. Who', 'Blakes Seven', 'UFO', etc... May be it should have had Jean Claude Van Damme as the hero? Perhaps 'Clarance Starling' or 'what's her face' from 'Mouldy and Scullery' should have been in it, I was disappointed when the 'baldy baddie' did not fall in to a 'vat of bubbling goo' (he reminded me of a football referee from the World Cup a few years ago...) May be that Hollywood star 'Bert Douglas' from 'Hero's of Telemark' should have been in it... But you have an obligatory abandoned factory/oil refinery making an appearance... Tell you what, look at this film in 20-30 years time and look at the cars and vans and come back here and tell me what you think, I like watch old 'Tee-Vee' programs (and programmes) and old films for the old motors... Go on watch it and enjoy it, Martin PS perhaps Gen. Hammond form 'Stargate' should have popped up....

You've seen every single element of this movie before. Perhaps not in exactly the same order as presented here, but from the opening shot the plot is as predictable as the taste of a Big Mac. The only surprise is John C. McGinley (Scrubs) and Dabney Coleman as the inevitably corrupt Senator. There is even the little girl and her rag doll, the police captain, the main protagonist who is seen as a joke on the force, etc etc.The script reads like a term paper. (First term).Yet if you're willing to laugh at it (there's no opportunity to laugh with it), it comes across as a classic in its B-movie genre, instantly forgettable but watchable after 1am.

Aliens plan to take over the world, by gradually activating implants in people at various levels of society (inserted, as we all know, during the multitude of 3-day abductions that have been visited on America's Mid-West since the 1950's science fiction boom). One man, a police detective, can save the world, but is so dull that the alien invasion becomes a more and more attractive prospect as the film goes on.The opening scene has the location typed out at the bottom-left of the screen, showing clearly its lineage from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" via the X-Files. Don't expect a moment of tension, except perhaps the decision on when to have your next cup of tea, but worth a watch if the alternative is ironing a shirt for the next morning. It is, however, slightly redeemed by the bald, stary-eyed, Hank Williams-loving baddie, who has the few lines in the film worth putting in something better.

I've seen many terrible tv-movies, but this one's probably the worst so far. I just cannot say one good thing about this movie; I'd rather watch tv-shop for two hours than this one again.Should you still choose to watch it, remember you were warned.
