Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
lordameth I don't remember this series too well, since it aired some years ago, and I havent been able to see it since. But, I do remember it being a great great series, one of the few decent things to come out of American animation studios lately (they're too taking perfectly good anime and screwing them up to make them bad for the American audience). While much could be said about plot holes and stuff like that, I won't say it, because not everything needs to be analyzed that closely. This show got me really excited and interested, and i was glued to the set while it was on... The only problem with the show is that it ended almost without being expected to... it didnt end as neatly and cleanly as a TV miniseries should, and it really really should have returned the next summer. I remember that last night, seeing the final screen "end of book one" and waiting, wondering why there was never an ep saying "beginning book two"...
gears_chatroom_god A primetime animated show that's not the Simpsons is a rare thing. "Invasion America" has a good basis, and a very talented cast - I'm BEYOND happy to see that it consists of REAL voice acting veterans like Kath Soucie and Jim Cummings, rather than relying on a cast entirely of celebrities, though Leonard Nimoy makes a great Konrad.However, I find that the show is lacking in some places. First and foremost, I was expecting some cutting edge animation - real flashy, maybe even anime-style stuff. Instead, what I got was rather second-rate stuff, of lower quality that one might see on a high-end Saturday morning cartoon (I was at LEAST expecting stuff up to the quality of "Gargoyles"). The lighting and colouring is trying to be atmospheric, but just winds up making it look rather obscure. Also, the CGI, while nicely done, was seriously out of place.The dialogue needed some help, too, although the actual language of the aliens was rather well implemented. I usually hate that sort of thing, but it didn't bother me here.If you're a fan of animation, you should give the show a look. Outside of things like "Beast Wars," "Beast Machines" and "X-Men Evolution," very little enjoyable, watchable animation has come out of American studios in recent years (this whole "Anime" thing that's everywhere you go now...).
Quantamm 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!
mckitlk 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!
