Invasion America

Invasion America was one of the best examples of animated primetime drama it has ever been my privilege to witness.One can only hope that this series was only the first of many programs of this calibre.I salute the screenwriter's talent;the plot was absolutely superb!May this series return for many more seasons.

Just a couple of comments for michaelrocks68, whose review was negative... If you had stuck around to see the entire series, you might have changed your mind. The series is entitled: Invasion America, not America Invasion and if you really thought it was so dull, I recommend you read the books written by Christy Golden. They are fantastic and as per usual, out do the film work... hands down!! If you're looking for innovative animation, you might start with Titan AE. The animation is wonderful and a seamless integration of 2D and 3D adds some fascinating realism. the story is fantastic and the characters have depth! I still think Invasion America deserves two thumbs up!

This TV series has received some praise here for being some "groundbreaking" sci-fi, dramatic animated TV series in prime time. The dialog was absolutely weak, the plot was flimsy, and much of it seemed to be cliches taken from tons of other science fiction programs. Now while I don't have a problem with borrowing ideas, unlike something like Star Wars, it doesn't transcend them and create something new. Plus the animation was uninspired, and the CG stuck out like a sore thumb.

There are better dramatic animation titles with adult appeal than this on television. Watch Gundam Wing Uncut, which has the same level of violence and language, plus relatively original plot elements that haven't been used 100 times already. Or watch the hugely underrated Beast Wars, Batman, or Gargoyles.

I seldom watch TV, but this show really captivated me. I made a point of seeing every episode. Now, almost a year later, I'm still involved with it.

DreamWorks did a fantastic job with it. I really hope they'll give us the rest of the story -- there are so many unanswered questions!

Invasion America was the first prime time animated dramatic mini-series, but set itself apart in more ways than that. Produced by Steven Spielberg (E.T., Jurassic Park) and Harve Bennett (Star Trek), and voiced by Timothy Daly (From the Earth to the Moon) and Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek) it set new standards in animation, science fiction, and dramatic story telling. In the six, forty-five minute episodes it takes time to tell the story from the first book (of five?) there are a few spots where the dialogue could be better, or where the plot could be stronger, but these are few and far between. The story ends strong with a few good strings where the next story will pick up. Overall an excellent mini-series!
