Review of Invasion Earth

Alien invasions are old hat, but the manner of this one is very unique. The aliens have a very long-term plan, and humanity is in a lot of trouble because they do not find out until nearly 50 years after the invasion plans have begun. Well worth watching, but be warned - the show seems to be cut short because the series was not carried over for a second season by the BBC, and is fairly dark in nature. It made hallmarks in the use of real British Military units and the extensive use of CGI for much of the effects. The real military troops really help sell the story, and the CGI is(for the time)VERY good for a T.V. production. There is none of the 'odd' or 'strange' humor often associated with British T.V. or films, and the story is very good. For those interested in the series, try reading John Ringo's 'Looking Glass' science fiction series - the aliens there are very similar to the ones in this movie. Be warned though - the series is also considered military (science)fiction written by a military veteran.
