The ending is particularly weak and reinforces the notion that this is a horror-movie retread, with no further resonance.

Feels like a science-fiction concept from 1951 that has been strained through a soap-opera sieve and left to moulder on the counter for six weeks.

Um filme sobre um v�rus ET. Este � Invasores. Mas � mais do que isso, � tamb�m um filme sobre a humanidade. Imagine todos agindo de maneira diferente ap�s ter sido dominado por um v�rus. Todos agindo como n�o humanos mas vivendo entre humanos.

Jeez critics, it's not that bad. Okay, it is generally lame, but it has it's moments. Luke Perry does fine, and he is fine to look at, that helps. Okay score. Kim Catrall is wasted. Mildly entertaining, but not a total loss. Way way overlong though.
