I found this film quite exciting, not boring at all. 8/10 - By: Mr. C. Chan, 14 Oct 2008 
The whole film is nice since the start, but the ending part is a bit thin. may be it is because the film time is limited. over all good film!
Worth it. - By: Omac, 10 Oct 2008 I don't understand why people don't like this film.
Okay, so it isn't as good as the orignal, but what remake ever is?
Nicole Kidman is very realistic as the phycologist & single parent who must save her child from emotionless clones.
Daniel Craig is the doctor trying to find the cure.
The film has two big actors & they both did wellin their roles. I was interested all the way through & there were a couple of scenes which gave me the shivers.
I have heard reviewers comment on the ending of this film & I will agree with them there, but you can't hold that against it.
Overall, this film, all though won't keep you talking about itin twenty years time, is defianetly worth seeing.
Why? - By: sharpknives, 06 Jun 2008 
What might attract people to this film? It's a sci-fi story of good heritage, Kidman, Craig & Northamin lead roles & everything seemed to bein place for a riveting watch.
But it's not. It feels thin & unfulfilled throughout...the plot builds & builds & then it seems like the producers got bored with their own movie & brought the story to an abrupt end. I gave it two stars because Ms Kidman is always very watchable, but with Daniel Craig it reminded me of some of the naff films Roger Moore did alongside his tenure as bond. I'm sure Craig will shortly redeem himselfin the next 007 outing.
There is some good atmospheric cinematography & stunt work, but everything considered it's a bit of a disappointment. And a waste of a good Jag...
Good solid performances, shame about the end! - By: Toonimaker, 16 May 2008 
A fast paced, creepy movie with a huge tense build-up (the moment Kidman has a salesman call at her front door is very scary) with top notch performances from the main characters & then... a rushed, disappointing ending which leaves you feeling cheated. A shame, could have been a real classic chiller if this had been addressed. A special credit should go to Kidman's on screen Son who acted the rolein a non-slushy way as usually happensin similar American movies.
"I'll get you and your little dog too" - By: B. Chandler, 26 Apr 2008 The Space Shuttle returns with a vinous that take over people when they sleep.
Sound familiar? Yep it is the second "popular" remake of the 1950's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." And based on the book "The Body Snatchers" by Jack Finney. With the exception that it is more up-to-date with technology they have brought back the old time suspense build up as apposed to just gore. It is almost flawless with the exception of the exception of the cell phones. First thing aliens would take over unless we are already subjects of automation invasion. Oh no that is a different movie.
The production is a vehicle for lots of old popular actors as cameosin this film. However the main actors, including Nicole Kidman are still good at their craft.
Music by John Ottman so permeated the movie that we do not get any down time to think.
Visual effects supervisor Boyd Shermis show the only bad CGI scene of a helicopter; other than that they do not let the graphics overwhelm the story as is the tendency today.

For those interestedin Blu-ray, it nether adds or subtracts from the film. There is an advantage that you can fast forward with sound. Oh yes & lots of DVD extras including an advertisement for the latest Warner Blu-ray.
