| | Great movie | Anonymous Guy 03/18/2009 | | Invasion of the Body Snatchers was a great movie! Great plot, great cast (Lenard Nimoy was great!) and the music was good too. It makes you think, what if that really happened? If body snatchers from another planet took over earth? What if you could trust no one? What if you were the last remains of the human race? That would be so depressing. The movie is not only reaching, but a little profound in a way. In short, I loved it. |
