Jeff: Kidman creepy, but not in a good way in 'Invasion'
Plot: When a space shuttle crashes, something from outer space comes with it. Psychiatrist Carol Bennell (Nicole Kidman) and her friend Ben Driscoll (Daniel Craig) learn that when you sleep, this extraterrestrial epidemic attacks, leaving people physically unchanged but strangely unfeeling and inhuman. They need to find an antidote before the human race, as we know it, is destroyed.
Who's it for: This is the second remake of “The Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” Nicole Kidman is in almost every scene, so if you don’t care for her, stay away. Plus, there isn’t as much thrilling scares as I was hoping for.
Expectations: The 1978 remake starting Donald Sutherland is a fantastic film for its time. Plus, it was the first film I remember watching as a child (on cable) that had an unhappy ending. Totally freaked me out. Before that, everything was “happily ever after.” So, if “Invasion” could tap into anything like that, I’d be happy.
