Ha, I was hoping some body snatchers discourse was around the corner. How bout that 90s one, huh? Just checked it out yesterday, characters were whatever but the alien effects and Forest Whitaker were good, plus it's nice to see a pod movie that addresses the question of "why dont you try shooting them?". Beginning and end are capped by an annoying monologue but other than that 7/10.
Actually 6.6 because it's a bit cloying in that 90s way, but it's not too distracting.
I must have seen every "invasion" remake, sort-of remake, and derivative stuff too but I can't for the life of me remember that the 1990s one. I googled and it reminded me that Abel Ferrara directed it. But I'm still drawing a blank. My memories of all the newer stuff is all mixed together.
In any case - I really love the original one from the 1950s. I like parts of the one from the 1970s but I don't like the movie itself much.
