    It may be hard to believe that "Invasion's" premiere could be touching in the context of Katrina, and effective as a sci-fi drama. But that is the power of high-quality storytelling.

    The music seems to be more important than the cast speaking to each other, the music over shadows the speaking parts. This seems like the bigest soup opera in the Sfi arena. On DVD there is no english caption for those hard of hearing.… Expand
