I was lured in by this 2019 sci-fi movie's rather impressive and interesting cover/poster. And sad to say, then the movie's cover/poster was actually the best thing about the entire movie experience. Yeah, I kid you not.

The storyline told in "Invasion Planet Earth" by writers Simon Cox and Simon Bovey just didn't work out all that well. It felt confusing and shattered, sort of as if director Simon Cox was trying to assemble bits and pieces of various broken storyline fragments and tie it together to make a whole new storyline. It just didn't work, and the movie was a confusing mess of a non-linear experience.

The acting in the movie was actually adequate enough, taking into consideration the premise that the actors and actresses were working under. Granted, the actors and actresses didn't really have much of a coherent storyline or script to work with, and it was showing.

Visually the movie was adequate, not impressive mind you, but adequate. There are many other sci-fi movies out there with far more impressive and visually pleasing special effects. And for me, a sci-fi movie must have spectacular and realistic effects. "Invasion Planet Earth" wasn't really able to brag about having special effects and CGI that will blow you away and leave you breathless.

For me, it was the scramble confusing heap of a storyline that killed the movie. Jumping back and forth between different realities or what not just didn't work for me, especially since the red thread got lost in transition.

Ultimately, "Invasion Planet Earth" is not an impressive sci-fi movie, nor is it a particularly outstanding or memorable one. I managed to get halfway through the ordeal and just gave up given the atrocity that passes as a storyline. And I have absolutely no interest in returning to watch the rest of the movie.

My rating of "Invasion Planet Earth" settles on a generous three out of ten stars.

I have a thing for disaster movies or be it alien/space movies. Honestly I do not have any expectations from this one. You know something on the lines of all those Asylum movies would suffice for me. But this is just beyond worst.

I rarely ever ever give up on a movie midway no matter how crap it is but for this one at around 45min mark, I just lost my patience.

The trivia says that it took many years for the team to bring it out. While its a commendable fact that they did not give up on their dream project or whatev, am sorry to say the final output is not digestible at any level.

Thomas Dunn's day cant be any worse than mine after watching this film .....17 years in the making ,and i felt ever one of them... before anyone starts ...yes i know it was made on a low budget and yes an independent film but you have to give the viewer something to work with.... its not what i would call a nights entertainment watching something that you are fighting with yourself not to switch off and you keep thinking well it may get better as it goes along but it don't ,....when it could be me ? Looking at some of the other reviews on here 10 s and 9s ect.

I'm a huge movie buff and believe me I watch a lot from the 30s to 2021. I'm a patient person and I can enjoy many a good B movie. I give things a chance. I can usually watch and get through bad films. But this is beyond bad. It was all over the place. It didn't flow. The story line was bad, plots were weak, The whole thing was a mess. I couldn't even watch it for the effects. It was painful, like pulling teeth. I got 3/4 way through. Don't waste precious time with this rubbish.

Still have 20 min left of the movie and can't decide whether to watch to the end or just gouge my eyes out.

As much as I love science fiction, this movie - rated at 3.3 - is overrated precisely by 3.3. I gave it 1 star just because there is 0 star rating. I don't know where to start: acting is bad, script is even worse, special effects are laughable. I would understand if it was primary school project but commercial movie production? Really?

The story of getting the film made is very inspiring, but not relevant to whether the film is any good or not. And sadly, it isn't. It's woeful in almost every regard.

The overall story is an interesting idea, but everything from the terrible script, the uniformly awful supporting cast, the stagey direction/editing and the mostly cheap VFX make you wonder why they even bothered.

If given the right resources maybe the director could come up with something impressive, but this is not a good calling card.

Thomas Dunn is having a terrible day fit for a soap opera. Full of cliches, careless editing and continuity errors this is less a film and more of a red headed stepchild of Ed Wood.

We watch the story unfold with special effects so poor, they qualify as neither. Acting is also pretty painful for the most part with performers struggling to overcome a clunky and predictable story and a script that feels like a chainsaw lobotomy.

The value in Invasion Planet Earth is for film students looking to see how never to make a movie.

Clear your mind, forget all 2019 blockbusters and dive in baring in mind that this is a low budget, 17 years in the making independent film.

In a day and age of people raving at sharknado, where most of us grew up on power rangers special effects what is not to love about Invasion planet earth ?

Sure it falls short sometimes but it is a fantastic attempt with a complex story, visually good (remember budget was a shoe string)... And lots of hints at classics that rocked our 70s and 80s.

So grab some popcorn, relax, set back and let the invasion begin.

A friend of mine's early films were so bad he even received death threats. So, mere apathy, despair and disgust bode well... My pal went on to make the hit '47 Meters Down' Shark movies... it took him at least half a dozen tries before he got there. Give Simon time...

I watched this film and at first I was uneasy but I knew the budget was almost zero and so I chilled and watched it for its merits. Suddenly I saw the humour, the Flash Gordon of the 1936 era... the Italian sci fi spaghettis of the '70's... and tv shows with rapid fire dialogues like the Tomorrow People... and Blake's Seven.

This film is the most unpretentious flick you'll ever see. I can't imagine shooting bits over a decade and stitching it together... the cardboard cutout Eighties style of vfx reminded me of the television productions of my youth, especially the early Dr Who's.

The story was actually very clever. I believe that the director wanted to produce the kind of film (made for children- but with adult twists) so that one would be reminded of the films (some of which we genuinely hated too) of our childhood... and I think it worked. It was a quirky unusual first attempt... but you'll never forget it... no matter how hard some of you might try! Lol. It's entrenched in your brain. I bet you think about it quite often?

Lighten up... watch it again. You think you can do better with the same constraints? Prove it... Have a go.

I really enjoyed it. Congratulations Simon Cox and team... looking forward to the sequel. :-)

I really enjoyed the film. I just wished that some of the easier things to sort out had been, before release, like the poor sound. And cut out completely any VFX that looked dodgy.

The VFX range from amazing to terrible and stuck on.

The acting ranges from great to wooden as hell.

The story was different ( although full of holes ) but the dialogue was clunky and cliched which added to the woodenness of some of the actors.

Overall I liked this film I feel that the director should have stuck to just that and given some of the other roles he filled ( writer, producer, VFX, song writing ) to others. It might have made for a much better movie.

What idiocy from hell did I just watch? Save yourselves from this movie. Run.

Besides the need for 7-9 years to make this movie , the writing of the script have missing pieces plus a wrong title. I understand there is a low budget movie , but it should have at least a good story line, but is not the case for this one.

I would rather lick the toe jam from a tramps foot than to go through that again.

I can't give it 0 the effects are so bad they make 1970s BBC kids sci-fi look like a Hollywood blockbuster.

It takes itself way too seriously. That's it's biggest fault. The religious stuff is always tedious. It's got goofy CGI all over the place and stilted dialogue. If they made it a comedy they might have had something much better. I thought it was really unpolished in some parts. It took so long to get this done isn't an excuse, it's just the opposite. This should have been spot on.

I don't even try understand what kind of vision has a director of this... I don't even know how to call it. My eyes burns. Everything in this "movie" is so bad. Starting from scenario, acting, CGI... Someone should definitely change his job here... quickly. And bury or burn every copy of this crap. And forget...

I really enjoyed this zero budget film. Simon Cox has created a film that takes a bit of thought and consideration...the same way you have to get a little deeper into Dark City, or Jacob's Ladder. (The best film of this kind was Arrival in my opinion.) If you like science fiction that you have to turn your brain on for, this one will be for you. Considering the budget, this film was truly something special. The effects were excellent. The sound track was excellent. And the story was great. But I like twisty convoluted films...a lot of people don't. If you liked Interstellar, you'll like this one.

The acting was average and the special effects were low budget but I watched this film to the very end. Why? Because it was so different. There are big budget Hollywood movies coming out all the time where everything is perfectly directed and produced but this is an independant movie.This was a breath of fresh air. You need to watch this to understand what I mean. For the first 20 minutes I genuinely thought this was a spoof of the sci-fi B-movies of the good old days. Then I realised it wasn't. But by then I was already hooked. I am now a fan of Simon Cox's work and really hope he does more. It's great that this is a British movie and that Simon actually achieved something that he's wanted to do for any years. Simon, please make more movies and don't change they way you do them. This will be a cult classic.

Trivia information states that In total the movie took 17 years to make, from the script being complete to the films release. And yet with all that time they still couldn't make a decent script, an honest and sensible plot or find people who had at least semi decent amateur theater acting skills!

The film poster, its text and the strap-line. All of it was disinformation designed to get as many people as possible to watch the film; because had they been upfront truthful it was a certainty that their viewing figures would have been drastically lower. You will notice that anyone who has said anything negative about the movie gets a lot of thumbs down. This is most likely because they come from people who are part of the same flock of sheep that the makers belong to!

It only took me something like 10 minutes into the film to realize what group had made this junk and, by the end I thought this could have been 38 minutes shorter.

PROS: 1. The end of the rubbish you may (or may not) have viewed.

2. The message that all of it was meant to give us (except it was so badly delivered a great many people would just think of it as another crap part of the film).

CONS: 1. All the misleading poster information and visuals... 2. The poster spaceship is not in the film at all and was used only to make you think there would be an some sort of Independence Day feel/ambience about it!

3. There is no War Of The Worlds going on because the visiting aliens were not there for invasion or war purposes!

4. Aliens as advanced as they were would not have been shot down by Earth weapons (especially using the ones in the film which the British Army do NOT use).

5. Its all disinformation which in reality is just another word for LIES!

And the people who brought this misleading load of junk rubbish to you? The GOD-SQUAD...some of you will have guessed that at some point. I get totally pissed off at these bible bashing pests, who constantly harass people with their Blind Faith belief. They should understand that those they are trying to convert are not blind like them. Let them worship whoever they like but please...leave the rest of us the hell alone!

Garbage. Utter. Garbage. I don't say this lightly either. (Trust me I have watched some bad movies. Too many.) I don't care what the history is behind how long the movie took or it's budget. What matters is the story. The graphics could have been done differently, the story is so choppy and doesn't flow. Which is a shame because I think the ending "reveal" and "idea" really was interesting for a bit.

The script and dialogue is bad, the acting delivered suffers from so terrible green screen work. Which leads to the majority of the movie having no heart or soul to it. I feel that at least they could have made this movie tighter by making it more coherent. Solid writing can save a low graphics budget.

In the end: Garbage.
