The mysterious crash of the space shuttle leads to the terrifying discovery that there is something alien within the wreckage. Those who come in contact with it are changing in ominous and inexplicable ways. Soon Washington, DC psychiatrist Carol Bennell (Nicole Kidman) and her friend, Dr. Ben Driscoll (Daniel Craig), learn the shocking truth about the growing extraterrestrial epidemic: it attacks its victims while they sleep, leaving them physically unchanged but strangely unfeeling and inhuman. As the infection spreads, more and more people are altered and it becomes impossible to know who can be trusted. Now Carol's only hope is to stay awake long enough to find her young son, who may hold the key to stopping the devastating invasion.
This movie was basically a remake of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. It was also one of those movies that was just kind of there. It wasn't horrible. It wasn't great. It was watchable even though at no point did you not totally know what was going to happen next. One would also wonder why Nicole Kidman would bother with this movie because its not like it mattered or not that she was in it or that she brought anything special to the movie in any way. It could have been a nobody playing the role and the movie would have been just as watchable.
I wouldn't ravingly recommend this movie to anyone. If this kind of movie is your cup o' tea, then go check it out. If not - don't.
