This
film is based on a novel by Twilight author Stephenie Meyers. Most of the human race has been taken
over by something from outer space.
There are only small groups of regular humans left and the soul humans
are searching them out to change them.
The invaders capture Melanie and she nearly kills herself trying to
escape. The invaders restore her
to life and full health by taking over her body. Melanie’s inner spirit is very strong and it is not letting
the new spirit fully take over.
She returns to the hidden group of humans she was taken from and they
don’t want to trust her because she has been changed.
You
can tell the humans from the souls by the difference in their eyes. The souls have a bright pale blue
circle. This film is overlong and
I wanted to stop watching many times.
The scenery is nice since most of the filming was in New Mexico. Ronan does a good job but the other
acting is bad and there are lots of very serious conversations that all sound like
farewells. 2 ½* (This movie is
so-so)
