is a greenpeace invasion.


Invasion movies, is avery familiar genre that have two version of it. The alien kind to the barbarian one. Now 20 century fox is bringing something not so out of this world, but more humane and enviromental? Yeah is a weird concept. But if give it thought it kind work, but doesn't mean is gonna perfect. Even if neo is in the picture. Here the WASP of a review:
One day Dr.Beson(Jenifer Connelly) was given diner to her stepson Jacob(Jade Smith) when she receive a phone call from the government needed of her assistance, taken to a military base, there she is reunited with brightest mind of science to discover a meteor that headed to New york. Arriving in central park, is discover that sphere descent, when touching, a mysterious figure appear, until is hit by a bullet. unconscious, he is taken to the ER where they discover that it was transforming into a person, He's name is Klaatos(Keanu Reeve), that he came to talk to humanity to what is to happen. But Man reject, so they taken him to question him. Until he take control and escape, while in the world sphere like them star arriving in different place of the world. Taking animals from different species. While the government try to unravel the mystery, Klaatos is set to activate he's humanoid Cyclops of a bodyguard turning it into swap of insect that eats anything that it find. Now humanity existence lies in the hand of Dr.Benson to show our visitor, that there's more than being human.
Man have polluted the earth from the last time, is it worth to live for?
keanu act, was kind of a stiff, they didn't show any emotion, just wondering watching, saying so little of dialog. Jennifer act was dramatic, and very worry when it came to the whole saving the world thing, But till remind me the same act that Tom Cruise did on War of the world. The only performance that i like most, is Will Smith son Jade i love the whole concept of what he's father do, to even calling the cop on Keanu, but the best is when he take him to the cemetery so he can resurrect he's father. This boy is aim for a nom in the future.
Now the action of the film was nothing new, the swap thing is something that have already seen, hell even in a tex every cartoon they did that, of course those were termites. The transformation is a mix of body snatcher and starman. The arrival of the sphere was so close encounter, I was expecting more from the humanoid cyclops, than just standing there, like more of a Godzilla rampage way. The film suffer so much, cause it was supposed to be a disaster film, but there weren't.
Now the story that's have a nice direction, cause in the original, they came to destroy us from the nuclear weapon, now here they go the same with M. Night happening, that really didn't show anything valuable to it. I mean the concept wasn't bad, cause with the global warming thing everybody is making something of series or film. But did show on how right now humanity is. Of not taking anything lightly when it come to a foreign visitor. And the finally was one of the weakest cause on the original it had a moral when it came when Klaatos is shot, but here he, well that would been ruin the film.
The invasion is serious not so well done. So if ye going to see it then expect lot spectacle from the cgi part. But for the story is the drama of the kid that make it good. So is not your ID4 kind but more of a war of the world type.
