Synopsis

Zim dreams of greatness. Unfortunately, though, he's hopelessly inept as a space invader. Desperate to be rid of the annoying Zim, his planet's leaders send him on a mission to infiltrate Earth, providing him with leftover, cobbled-together equipment. To their consternation, Zim succeeds in setting up a base on Earth and infiltrating human culture, posing as a human child as he plots the planet's downfall. Only Zim's archnemesis, Dib, recognizes that Zim is an alien, and of course, nobody believes Dib's claims.

Reviews

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
SlyGuy21 Commonly viewed as the black sheep of Nicktoons, that got cancelled after 2 seasons, "Invader Zim" was ahead of it's time with it's blend of bizarre characters, a bizarre setting, and dark comedy. The premise is simple, an alien tries to take over the Earth, but the episodes were able to add enough to make the show more than that. So many funny moments, quotable moments, and great episodes. I would normally do a "Best and Worst Episodes" list of this show, but there are no real bad episodes here. The show had a way of hiding weaker episodes behind enough humor to make them watchable. Episodes like "Abducted", "Chickenfoot", "The Girl Who Cried Gnome", and "Mortos Der Soulstealer" are admittedly pretty weak, but they're still watchable. They don't drag on, and there are still some lines that get a laugh out of me. Maybe it's best that this show came out when it did. It introduced a young audience to a different kind of humor, had a short run, and then developed a cult following. I think if this were made today, it would just exist to make as many memes as possible. A dark comedy with strange characters, strange episodes, but still original and incredibly funny. A fantastic show, with enough doom and laughs to spare.
C.A. Morvant I might be a little bias since I am a super fan of this show, but it's just so great. The entire entire premise, the characters, and comedy mixed in with alittle action here and there. It just makes for a good series. Jhonen Vasquez has that dark side of humor that he added into this that made it super funny, and that's what I think the IZ fanbase lacks when making fanfics of this series, his random, darkish, and snarky sense of humor just makes it one-of-kind. I can't wait for the TV movie and I'm expected to be entertained just as much as I was with the original series.
dannylafontaine13 invader zim was a very good show. but it was aimed at young teens. and had lots of disturbing stuff. zim rips a kids eyes out and replaces them with robot eyes. zim steals peoples organs and replaces them with random things. zim gets his skin ripped off. dib goes crazy and gets taken away in a crazy van. a monster tells another monster to walk into a room filled with flames. shes basically telling him to go to hell. gaz kills a character named iggins. a giant hamster kills a bunch of people. and gaz makes a very vilonte threat. she says shell pluck out dibs eyes and chew on his eyeballs. and the whole plot of the show is about zim trying to take over the world. with that being said invader zim is not for little kids. and is a very good show for teens and adults.
prestonwardcondra Extremely surprised by the praise this show gets. It's not horrendous or anything. I even bought Season 2 of this show back when I was in 6th Grade (2006)Now it seems this show doesn't age very well. Number one reason being that only about 20 or so episodes of Invader Zim were ever made and seeing the same episodes on rotate, again and again really gets annoying after awhile.The plot is this. Zim and Gir are sent on a mission by the Irks (a race of aliens) to take over Planet Earth. A very simple premise, fine and dandy.Zim (the main character) doesn't know how to keep his damn mouth shut for more than five seconds and his arch-rival Dib, isn't that much better with trying to the prove the existence of aliens in...oh I don't know in EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. It's a washed out formula that gets on my nerves.The only episode I honestly I ever really cared for was the "Mysterious Mysteries" episode with Kevin Michael Ricardson trying to bring some life in his dying TV program and the flying squirrel eating Dib's head (in Gir's imagination) was hilarious.But that's my ten cents as far as I'm concerned with this cartoon and I'm sticking with it.
