People have a refreshing nap and wake up to be suspiciously-nice.

A remake of a remake of an adaptation of a book. And it shows. At least Nicole Kidperson is hot.

Be certain to skip the first couple of minutes; they are a horrible horrible spoiler.

• Based on The Body Snatchers - (1955 book), by Jack Finney

• A remake of:

  • Invasion of the Body Snatchers - (1956 movie)
  • Invasion of the Body Snatchers - (1978 movie)

• Futureworld - (1976 movie) has a similar theme.

• 1:00 -- This is already odd.
• 1:45 -- Having seen what I can only assume are what inspired this, this flashback nonsense is a huge spoiler.
• 3:00 -- Oh my, I recognize that actor.
• 3:30 -- I legit thought this was a news anchor narrating in the background. I couldn't tell it was the guy in the mask.
• 6:45 -- Well now. I see she's still relevant.
• 8:15 -- The fact that this was dubbed was enough to make me notice that this child-actor hasn't talked at all.
• 9:45 -- Czechs
• 10:30 -- I also recognize that actor.
• 13:30 -- Oh no. How about you immediately separate the couple and call the cops on a casual dog-killer.
• 17:30 -- I also recognize that actor.

• 28:00 --

  • Iraq War
  • War in Darfur
  • New Orleans - United States
    -- I believe this is a reference to it being the "Murder Capital of America".
• 28:45 -- There was a list of names which I don't feel like looking up.
• 28:45 -- Postmodern feminism ^[ 1 ]warning: ideology, i.e. Marxist.
• 30:30 -- You're my best frieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeend...
• 32:45 -- Why didn't he/it break the glass?
• 52:00 -- Fort Detrick

• 55:45 --

  • Encephalitis
  • Chickenpox
  • ADEM
• 58:30 -- Now this movie is feeling horribly rushed. Also, this thing needs to be edited to take out the damned flash-forwards.
• 1:10:15 -- takethestep.org isn't a real website.
• 1:11:30 -- This is also the problem with dating a single mother.
• 1:18:45 -- Where'd her son go? Why ever would she leave him?
• 1:26:00 -- How handy, they're in a deus ex machina-- I mean a helicopter.
• 1:27:15 -- Molotov cocktail
• 1:27:45 -- This is terribly rushed.
• 1:29:00 -- That was so rushed I had to rewind to figure out how the child got knocked out.
• 1:30:00 -- Wow that helicopter looked terribly fake.

• 1:32:15 -- Narration. Fucking flashback nonsense to a planted statement.
