Awesome - Highly Recommended if you love Sci-Fi!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 December 2019

I've followed this project from the early crowdfunding days when it was called 'Kaleidoscope Man' and am thrilled to see it completed. Whilst it may not (quite) have the slickness of your ten-a-penny Hollywood 'blockbuster' with a predictable ending we've become so used to seeing, 'Invasion Planet Earth' is an original and ambitious concept brilliantly realised by a dedicated Independent film-maker (Simon Cox). If I have to compare it but without giving too much away, I'd say it's better than the remake of 'The Day The Earth Stood Still', for all that movie's big budget & A-List cast. Very, very impressed by the end result, and happy to purchase and recommend it to anyone who loves science-fiction. And as an aside to aspiring Indie filmmakers - never give up your dreams!! Simon didn't and this is the result. Brilliant!

Good and bad

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 February 2020

An independent film, made by scraping funds together over many years and with crowdfunder support, it tries so hard to be spectacular and in some ways it achieves that.

The cgi work must have taken a long time to pull together and is effective but no way has there been sufficient spent on it to make it look as good as possible. But this is indie film and what is delivered is still more adventurous and far reaching than anything else I’ve seen. It’s not great in parts, but plenty of credit to Simon for trying.

In parts the acting is very stilted. A problem of filming over time or with disjointed scenes. The crowd scenes were good with plenty of action in place. A huge story canvas with an interesting twist in the tale.

This was a film that I could have given up on but I didn’t. I didn’t because that would be disrespectful to the filmmaker who has tried, and to an extent succeeded, to give a Hollywood standard sci-fi film with a background of “no money” filmmaking.

Watch it with an open mind. It’s not the best film you’ll ever see, certainly no “Star Wars”, but it certainly above average and filled with dedication and purpose.

I know that you have to have some B movies in the pick but this one falls even below that standard. I mean, WOW this was so bad. I'd have to be half drunk and really desperate to watch this all the way through.

What were other people watching to give this 3-4 stars, were they on the payroll,? lot of drivel. I don't read reviews before I watch films but really wish I had with this. if you have hour and a half of your life to waste then go ahead.

Awful

Really really poor. Confused intro, confused film, awful cutscenes and music, awful acting, meaningless religious references I guess because it's an invasion movie. This is as bad a film gets. Sorry to be negative. Can't imaging how it got 3 stars.

Oh dear, what a disappointment.

I am sure that this production was the result of some very hard work and if viewed with the knowledge of what that looked like my opinion might be different. However, through the eyes of someone who just wanted to watch a movie it was poor.

Sound quality dreadful, acting dreadful, storyline incomprehensible, characters unbelievable. The one lesson I learnt here was that the aliens could land at any time; therefore I decided not to waste any more of my life watching this nonsense and switched off after half an hour.

The last time I saw acting that bad was in a 1980s Dr Who episode, in fact it had a definite Dr Who vibe about it.

Terrible terrible film and 90 minutes I'll never get back but at least I have something new to talk to my wife about during lockdown.
