Plot 411: An alien species comes to earth on a space shuttle and slowly infects the world.

Review: In The Invasion, Nicole Kidman plays a mother who is trying to save her son from turning into an alien. One human at a time are being turned into aliens. They talk and look the same but somehow their actions are stilted. They have no emotion. The reason for the alien takeover is to purge the world of war and hatred. When everyone on earth are of like mind, people will stop killing eachother and the environment. All of our other problems will be solved. Now isn't this interesting social commentary?

Watch It: For a twist on the normal alien invasion movie. These are socially aware, higher beings looking only to make our world a better place, or so they believe.

Skip It: As it is a bit slow in the beginning and there's not a lot of real action sequences.
