Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Nicole Kidman's character struggles to stay awake -- as will the audience.

rotten:
The latest and lamest version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers might have been an accidental camp classic if its politics weren't so abhorrent and the movie didn't try to hide its ineptitude behind a veil of pomposity.

rotten:
Opting for car chases instead of the thought-provoking ideas of its predecessors, the film looks like the work of, if not pod people, folks who gave up any kind of passion for the material long before the cameras started to roll.

There's much to recommend here. But there are too many inconsistencies.

rotten:
It falls far short as an effective sci-fi thriller, not to mention the brainy political allegory it's determined to be.
