INVASION PLANET EARTH

Cert 12 Stars 1

A passion for long defunct 1980’s sci-fi TV shows is necessary to survive this crowd-funded British alien abduction nightmare, which sees a psychiatrist and his patients kidnapped by extra-terrestrial warships.

There’s fun to be had with the opening scene where we watch a fake TV show called Kaleidoscope Man, clearly inspired by of Gil Gerard’s Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

It’s best to assume this film is intended as a sincere homage to such material, unfortunately accurately recreating the shoddy design, special effects, writing and acting of the era only results in a film of similar standard.
