"The Invasion" had a lot going for it. It had two big stars, an acclaimed director, a big time producer, and a time tested premise. The only thing missing was a script.
"The Invasion" does not follow the same story as the earlier movies. They took the premise and made a new story. The new story has only a threadbare plot, no character development, and some of the most banal dialog I have heard in recent years. At 93 minutes, there are long passages that go nowhere and do nothing for the story.
Whoever gave the green light to this production without having a decent script first should be fired.
Despite that, there are some parts that are watchable. It is just frustrating that they could not have come up with a better story and better characters.
