It has some tension and potential, but terrible dialogues, predictable scenes, so full of cliches, stupid speeches. Disappointing overall.

You'd think that if you were going to remake a sci-fi classic, you'd do a better job. It looks very good but it's not very scary or convincing. Why does Kidman do this to herself?

A very poorly done adaptation of the story. The actors are fine, but they can not really do much with this poor script. The movie totally lacking of suspense. There is no paranoia at all. The whole thing has a TV quality to it. The ending isA very poorly done adaptation of the story. The actors are fine, but they can not really do much with this poor script.

The director obviously had no idea how to present this material. Not recommended.… Expand

One of the worst films I've ever seen. I walked out about 2/3 in and got a refund.

This movie's premise is so trite that I figured it would make up for it somehow. Well, the all-star cast didn't do it. So, yeah. It sucked. The structure was terrible. All sorts of build up, then a climax and falling action so This movie's premise is so trite that I figured it would make up for it somehow. Well, the all-star cast didn't do it. So, yeah. It sucked. The structure was terrible. All sorts of build up, then a climax and falling action so short and unsatisfying it leaves you blinking stupidly. It ends on the APPARENT note that the humans are innately flawed and they are doomed as a species. So what, Mr. Director? Do you want us to become infected by an alien virus with vague intentions? Or do you want us to become absolute socialists and shed all human qualities? What saves this movie from a one is a few thrilling scenes, and their ATTEMPT at a philosophical message. I'm glad I didn't pay for this thing.… Expand

You know that the writer/director/producers don't know what they're doing when, in the opening scene (and again later), the lead character, a psychiatrist, cannot correctly pronounce a drug that she would prescribe routinely You know that the writer/director/producers don't know what they're doing when, in the opening scene (and again later), the lead character, a psychiatrist, cannot correctly pronounce a drug that she would prescribe routinely (several times a day). She doesn't just mispronounce it, she drops an entire syllable. The pharmaceutical/medical aspect is inaccurate. That aside, the movie is just abysmally written, directed and acted. The film makers main gimmick seems to be the "spread by vomiting" scenes. This proves to be tired, lame, and, frankly, lazy on the writer's part. The characters are not sympathetic. Recycling the footage of an actual shuttle disaster is an all too telling of the disaster that this film is.… Expand

Cheap message, dorky Craig, usual sterile Kidman and terrible filming, action, suspense and kid plot. One of my top 5 worst movie ever

It's not scary, it's not original, the writing's terrible, the acting's worse, and I wanted to kill that little kid myself.

The original Body Snatchers scared the bejeebers out of me and to this day, I can't watch it. This latest version of the Jack Finney novel is an insult that film and anyone with a speck of intelligence. It's not scary, not relevant The original Body Snatchers scared the bejeebers out of me and to this day, I can't watch it. This latest version of the Jack Finney novel is an insult that film and anyone with a speck of intelligence. It's not scary, not relevant and not worth your time. It's not good when a movie that tells you not to fall asleep or you'll turn into a monster and you fall asleep in the theater. Not good at all. Like this movie.… Expand

One of the most disappointing movies I've seen. The first half of the movie is choppily sequenced, and quite un-entertaining and non-sensical.

The first half of the movie is choppily sequenced, and quite un-entertaining and non-sensical. It gains a little steam later on with some action sequences, but continues to make little sense, before a quick and predictable ending. It pretty much turned into a ridiculous zombie movie which ruined and chance for a different or unusual spin on the end.… Expand

Science fiction comedy but unintentionally. A B movie at best. Avoid.

Open up with some potential but can't seem to find any tension for the last 70 minutes. Predictable and boring. Not worth your time.

Daniel Craig is an actor, a very good one, along with the others, but the movie just didn't come to me, I'm not fond of it, I wasn't very engaged, it just wasn't very good. It actually sucked.
