     The Invasion
2007  PG-13  SCIENCE FICTION  1h 39min
CAST— Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig
MUSIC— John Ottman  DIRECTORS— Oliver Hirschbiegel, James McTiegue  BASED ON— The Body Snatchers (novel), by Jack Finney

     Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig star in this sci-fi thriller, yet another remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Psychiatrist Kidman begins to notice odd behavior from those all around her; people are behaving like zombies, void of emotion. She uses the help of her doctor boyfriend to uncover the mystery of these events and to track down her missing son, who may or may not have been turned. No pod-people here; just a lot of medical babble about the cellular structure of the alien genome. Not too bad, but then again, not great.
OUR RATING— **
ORIGINAL— Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956/1978), Body Snatchers (1994)
