🎬 The Invasion(2007) | Movie Review
Nowadays, I decided to watch a movie once a week. I used to watch a movie every 2 days because I had time and I enjoyed it a lot. Since, I need some time away from the screen and I don't like to look at the screen except for my work. Today I wanted to watch a movie and I asked my girlfriend if she could recommend me a movie. She recommended me the movie "The Invasion". I didn't know before watching the movie that I would be so moved by it, but I will talk about it more often later. Let's review some movies!
Introduction
The movie was released in 2007 and I learned from @jcrodriguez on discord that there are 5 versions of the movie and this is not even the best one. At his suggestion, I added the 90s version to my list. I don't want to watch it back to back, that would be too boring and would prevent me from enjoying the movie. IMDB score is 5.9 and that's not very good. But it's still worth giving it a chance.
Description
The genre of the movie is Science Fiction and Thriller. I can guarantee you that you will get a lot of tension while watching this movie. At one point I felt the need to go to the kitchen and drink water. Anyway, the movie stars Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig gave an average performance in my eyes but Nicole Kidman's performance in this movie is perfect for me. She conveys all the emotions so well that sometimes I forgot that this is a movie.

To start the movie, Carol, played by Nicole Kidman, is a psychologist. Wait, wait, I shouldn't start from here. As the movie starts, a spaceship falls from the sky to the earth and pieces of it are scattered over a very large area. People go and touch them, but there's something they don't know. A micro-organism from space has infected the spaceship and this organism infects humans through contact. Its specialty is that it destroys people's emotions and turns them into robots. This is frankly the thing that worries me the most, but we will talk about it in detail in my thoughts on the movie.
Carol, played by Nicole Kidman, is a psychologist. Her child has had a disease before. I don't know what it stands for, but the disease affects and alters the nerve cells and thus provides immunity against this organism. Of course they don't know this at the beginning of the movie. Nobody knows. Over time, Carol realizes that everyone she sees on the street has become emotionless. By the time she realizes it's the micro-organism, it's too late. Almost half the city has already been taken over and they are doing their best to make normal people like them. Carol's ex-husband even somehow infects Carol, but the virus doesn't activate. Because what it needs to activate is sleep.
During the REM phase of sleep, the virus activates and takes over the body. So basically, if you don't sleep, the virus cannot infect you. But how long can you stay awake? Carol stays awake for quite a long time for her son Oliver and waits for her lover Ben to save her. Ben is performed by Daniel Craig. Unfortunately, by the time Ben arrives, he has been taken over by the organism and he tries to convince her to go to sleep. This is one of the parts that impressed me the most. Ben says that the world is in a terrible state right now, poverty, war and pollution have taken over the world. Come over to our side and let's put an end to it. Carol is convinced but she has only one thing on her mind. What about her child who is immune to this organism? Ben tells her there is no place for him in this world and they try to kill him. Of course Carol doesn't let them and they escape with her child. I won't tell the rest of the movie because I don't want to spoil the excitement.
Opinions
I have so many thoughts about the movie that I don't know how to start. First of all, I'll talk about the good things. The movie made me think a lot, which I mentioned on the Movies & TV Shows discord server.
What would it be like if we were really emotionless?
Would that really be a solution to poverty and other problems in the world?
Could such a micro-organism have that effect? I mean, could the movie be real?
I'd be very curious to hear your thoughts on this, so don't forget to let me know in the comments.
Let's talk a little bit about the downsides. Can you charge the phone Carol uses sometime? Throughout the movie she ran around without charging it and it never ran out of battery. It's a small detail but I found it very funny. How did they not think of that?
Conclusions
If you want to be really nervous, you can watch this movie. But I must say that this movie is not for everyone. If it was, it wouldn't have an IMDB score of 5.9. The movie lasts 1 hour and 40 minutes, which is not too long. So sometimes you want to watch a short movie and this is the movie for you.
Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, I will describe this movie as average and my score is 7 out of 10. As I said, if you have seen this movie before, feel free to write your opinions in the comments. I love discussing this and what people think about the movies I watch. Have a good day everyone, stay with the movie!

STOPCheck out the last post from @hivebuzz:
At that time there were cell phones that the battery lasted a lot hahaha I had a nokia that was a super machine. Now we need cell phones like that, we live all the time with cell phones charging, they look like landlines XD
All the adaptations are from the novel, but I liked the one by Abel Ferrara, because I like that director's style, when you can see it. You can get it with the title Body Snatchers.
Now, I'm going to look for the most recent version which I haven't seen, but from what I've researched it's very bad, the title is Assimilated and it seems to just take the idea from the novel but it's a very different movie than all the previous ones. I'm going to take a chance to see it, sometimes I like some bad movies.
I remember those times, yes, sometimes we didn't charge our phone for a week, but not this much.
Body Snatchers noted.
Sometimes watching bad movies helps us appreciate good movies. Maybe after watching it you will think this is a very good movie hahaha.
Thanks for stopping by and your valuable comment 😎.
Didn't know there was a newer version, good info.
I saw this film somewhere recently and recorded it in my notes, which attracted me. I recommended it to you so that you like it before I can watch it myself, I am still interested in watching it as soon as possible.☺️
Thanks for recommendation honey. I hope we can watch this together too.
I remember seeing this movie on TNT and I LOVED IT! Not only because of the actress who seems quite good to me, who by the way is perfect for this movie because of the way she interprets it. I also really liked the development of the film, it really leaves you with a lot of tension.
Thanks for your nice comment. Yeah if I explain this movie with one word it'd be thriller!
I think I watched this movie a long time ago. I dont remember anything from it. Maybe I need to rewatch it. The new Predator movie came out today on Hulu, so I am going to be watching that tonight.
I saw the trailer and it looks good. Let me know if you like it and I'll do my next movie review on it. Thanks for the comment man!
It’s supposed to be as good if not better than the original.
Okay, then I'll give him a chance and he'll be my next movie. It's not easy to find good movies these days.
In a world where viruses emerge hot clnoypan, anything is possible.
LOL.
Seriously though, I haven't seen the movie, or maybe I saw a version and I don't remember it anymore. I love Nicole Kidman 😍. I'll be encouraged to see it... I'm left with doubts, especially due to the fact that we can lose our emotions 😱.
This is what impressed me the most about the movie. As I said, a world without emotions is never worth living in. I've been thinking about it. Thank you for your comment.
Nicole is the star of these movie. She played perfect, ın one word.
okok a 5.9 is a very enterteinment movie :D . Nicole Kidman is a perfect woman Brother, i see the pictures and is incredible the face, the way she look, she is very powerfull in emotions.
Is important that we have to remember if we see anything fall from the universe, we dont have to touch it for two reason, First one is the radioactive enrgy that could have the object, and second is the microorganism, so in this movie the microorganism affect the brain of the person. I didnt thought this movie will touch thats elements, its surprise me a lot.
The first question. MMM i like my eotions so i dont want my emotions go away.
The second Question. Yes but there is no proposit to leave in a world so empty.
The Thir qiestion. Yes, this exactly condition maybe not but the idea of the movie can be real
You can tell me the rest of the movie here with your feellings :D .
Am agree with the seven because for you it touch another level because the movie give you a lot of things to think so it touch your emotions :D. My best regards
Thank you very much for this beautiful comment, my friend. I am grateful that you answered all my questions. From now on, if a spaceship crashes on Earth, you can be sure that I will never touch its parts 😂.
