Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

alexanderdavies-99382 I can easily mention the series of "The Invaders" in the same breath as "Star Trek," "The Twilight Zone" and "The Outer Limits." "The Invaders" follows the attempts of an architect, David Vincent, who tries to convince a disbelieving world of the existence of aliens who have landed on earth to escape their dying planet. Each episode consists of four acts, plus an epilogue. It's similar to the previous show from the same producers, "The Fugitive." Watching each instalment, you just know that David Vincent is going to find it a challenge in convincing anyone about the alien invasion. Once in a while, he gains a few allies but most of these are either killed or silenced in some other way. It makes for a somewhat lonely existence when it is just one man, fighting his enemies alone. However, Vincent does manage to inconvenience the aliens on numerous occasions by thwarting their plans almost single-handed. Roy Thinnes as David Vincent is superb. His acting style is what I would call "naturalistic" but very credible. I disagree that his character comes across as being aloof or cold, David Vincent is simply exercising a good deal of caution in not trusting anyone easily and keeping his wits about him. He certainly displays compassion with those who have been victims of some kind, courtesy of the aliens. This is a genuinely gripping series with a slightly disturbing theme tune. Each episode offers something quite different and the writing and acting are marvellous. There are plenty of familiar faces in this one: William Windom, Kevin McCarthy, Michael Rennie, Murray Hamilton, Gene Hackman, James Daly, J.D Cannon, John Larch, Jack Lord, Jack Warden, Roddy McDowall, Burgess Meredith and others. It's a bit unfortunate that "The Invaders" only lasted two seasons. I reckon an additional season would have been great. Don't miss this one, it is one of the greats.

SombeeKillah My 1st time seeing this classic series. Wow what a series! I'm hooked already! Just started to see this one. Roy Thinnes was the perfect casting for this role of "David Vincent" He has this weird but perfect look about him so naturally "normal" people look at him like he's crazy! Nice intro and the music is right on target! Great score by Dominic Frontiere. Excellent narration by Dick Wesson(A Quinn Martin production's common narrator)Nice guest stars also. The pilot episode had a young Diane Baker(who so looked like a young Debra Winger it's uncanny!) the late great J.D. Cannon, the late great Ellen Corby aka "Grandma Walton", the late great Vaughn Taylor and last but not least the late great Dabbs Greer.

jurandyrsf I gave some consideration before reviewing this much-loved TV series of my youth. Watching it again more than 40 years later is another experience entirely. What I recognize now is the greatest big- and small-screen hero of all. Who else but David Vincent, an ordinary man with steel nerves, solely equipped with a .38, short-barreled revolver and huge, boat-like automobiles, depending totally on his personal budget, could have single-handedly disrupted, time and again, the most elaborate plans set off by an army of invading extraterrestrials with their advanced, technological prowess relentlessly committed to take our beloved Earth for themselves? Double-O-Seven pales in comparison; a real sissy, actually. Only Captain James T. Kirk comes close in street-fighting skills, resilience and resolve. On top of all, a humble guy who is polite to a fault, cool and smooth as none. These are some of the reasons that not only make this Zen-mannered architect an unforgettable character, but testify as well to the outstanding acting skills of the venerable artist who gave him life, Mr. Roy Thinnes.

benkidlington Just finished watching every episode from both of the series. It was highly enjoyable even if it started to get a tad repetitive towards the end.I thought Kent Smith was excellent as Edgar Scoble. Sadly a somewhat overlooked actor. David Vincent of course was perfectly cast and also a great actor. Very impressive how he underplayed the role.Many aspects of the series are really interesting and absorbing.Throughout watching it though, I kept wondering why every episode seemed to keep focusing on people getting in and out of cars all of the time and also usually involved one or more car chases. I would have instead enjoyed it a bit more if it focused on flying saucers or other alien technology more regularly and a bit more sci-fi.I always thought that the bits with cars could have been cut out as they were not in any way essential to the plot. I mean let's just get down to business. I just didn't need to watch a car pull up into a motel parking lot about 100 times in all, across the various episodes! In fact eventually I kept on hoping that the next episode would not have any cars in it.And then of course after watching all episodes, I finally learnt from several independent sources that the series was sponsored by the Ford Motor Company. Well that explains it all, the series would probably not have even been made without their financial backing. No wonder it seemed like a car show at times. I think perhaps they did overdo the product placement just a bit though! Still, I really like the series. Shame it was axed without a satisfactory ending.
