The story got to be quite original. Although a lot of work need to be made on the script, character development is a bit boring as well as the flashback tunnel effect, Fx and other things are low budget. Having said that, there is definitively something in this movie.

Also I should say the last 30 minutes were good and left a good taste ending this way.

At the end of the day i did not regret watching this movie, I just hope that one day it will be done again but with a lot of money

When are independent production companies going to realize that audiences are over formula films, particularly in the disaster genre, where the problems of one fictional family that nobody will really cares about, comes just as the world is facing destruction? It's a cliche that goes way past the production of the big screen disaster blockbusters like "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012". Then take into account the fact that there are no big stars in it and that it takes forever for anything to happen. You're stuck with boring soap opera like elements that try to manipulate the audience into caring, and because you've only known these characters for a few minutes, you really just don't care.

The main story deals with grieving parents who have lost a child and just discovering that they are expecting another. Then word comes out that invaders from another planet are on their way and that sets in panic. Not that the world is going to end its entirety but the fact that a family facing great news will now have to suffer again. Well, you can't suffer when your dead, but the audience must through a good hour of boring stuff before the typical CGI computer-generated effects take over which aren't really all that good to begin with.

With the Asylum films, I knew to keep my finger on the fast-forward button until it look like something interesting was happening, whether it be a stupid looking creature or an asteroid approaching or a sudden freezing snow storm. At least the characters in those films are consistently so stupid that you enjoy laughing at them, but these characters are just boring and staid. In this case, it's a British made direct-to-video film, so at least you have some attractive accents, but that's not really enough to want to stick with it. The family values cliches are sickeningly nauseating and after a while, it just comes down to show me the Carnage!

INVASION PLANET EARTH is an indie sci-fi flick, shot in Britain and taking 17 years to see to completion, apparently. You end up thinking that that time frame could have been better spent as this is as senseless and silly as your average indie production, albeit with a slightly bigger budget. SKYLINE, a film I'm quite fond of, appears to be the inspiration here, and admittedly the CGI effects of hovering alien ships aren't too bad at times. But the plot is all over the place and seems stitched together via random strands, including lots of annoying dreams and flashbacks that contribute nothing to the narrative. The acting is also pretty horrible; my advice is don't bother.
