I saw The Invasion last night with my brother-in-law. Although I have not seen either the 1956 or 1978 versions of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, I enjoyed the movie. Plot-wise, the movie wasn't very special. It is, for the most part, your basic "Save the planet from destruction" type movie. At one point in the movie, I actually chuckled at how ridiculous it had gotten.
That being said, there were two things that I found interesting. First, there was a new camera / time line trick I had not seen before. Twice during the movie, the screen did a split. In one pane, the movie continued the current scene. In the other pane, it showed what happens directly after the current scene. I don't know that I would have enjoyed watching a movie that continually used this as your mind has to meld both future and present together at the same time, but it was interesting nonetheless. The second was how they intertwined philosophy and current events into the plot. This movie was not a philosophical heavy movie, but it did have just a touch in there to add some substance to the basic plot.
All-in-all it's worth seeing if you have an interest in camera / time line work or want to see a fun movie with just a touch of philosophy in it. That being said, it's definitely one you can wait for to come out on DVD.
This movie is rated PG-13. The Kids-In-Mind review can be found here.
