Mid-nineties, alien-esque films were everywhere from the AAA blockbusters down to the b-movies. We were all spoilt for choice, but sadly finding a good one was a chore.
This one was created by the writer of Flight Of The Navigator (1986), in fact this is the only other film he did.
It tells the story of a space capsule returning to earth unexpectedly carrying an alien lifeform. Well as you can imagine things turn hairy, the military is present and immediatly sets about killing the ET.
Starring a very young Ryan Phillippe this isn't one of the worst of it's type but certainly isn't one of the good ones either.
With a generic storyline, terrible sfx and a really quite terrible finale Invader is a bit of a mess.
Ryan Phillippe fans won't even appreciate this due to his small role and the fact he's so poorly cast. He plays a soldier, but because of his age and build at the time he looks like Captain America before the super soldier serum.
The Good:
Has a couple of original moments
The Bad:
Ryan Phillippe looks ridiculous in this role
Really quite dull
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
I'll never get tired of the American stance of shoot first think never
