The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

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 momentsThe Bad:Ryan Phillippe looks ridiculous in this roleReally quite dullThings I Learnt From This Movie:I'll never get tired of the American stance of shoot first think never

Sort of a poor man's Alien, with an insect-like alien from Mars (or recently hanging out there, if not from there) arriving on Earth with lots of special effects methylcellulose and rather irksome parthenogenesis.While clearly this was movie shot on a budget, they did okay at having lots of nervous military guys running down dark hallways terrified of where the monster might be. In this, it very much used Alien's techniques.I did some eye-rolling at the cliché of the military guy coming in and taking over, at the alien's ability to tap right into earth computers, and so on--but that's nothing worse than you'd see in big-budget s-f movies.What was above average: First, the score, by Kevin Kiner, which elevated the tension levels nicely, and the script detail that we never did know if the alien was evil, invading, nice, curious, lost, confused, or what. You know, if this sort of event did happen, we'd be just as clueless about its intentions.(As it ends up, the biologist could have skipped the appendectomy and stayed part of the main plot.)

Lifeform is really a fantastic movie with just about everything!The acting is good by the stars but the most miss looked one is Carlos Carrasco.The alien is really neat looking and the movie is scary with its build up and it has very different ending!This is a must see for all alien and sci-fi fans!

"Lifeform" starts off with an intriguing mystery. Viking 2, one of the two landers that were dropped on Mars by NASA during the 70's, has returned to Earth. From the start we get the idea that Lifeform's scriptwriter did his homework, as one of the scientists examining the lander starts rattling off real-life technical details about the lander, rather than some spurious techno-babble. From there things rapidly switch to a monster hunt straight out of the '50s, as the scientists bicker with the military when the Lifeform in question breaks loose from it's hiding place in the lander and starts running around the sealed lab complex. It's nothing we haven't seen before, but the script never insults the audience, neither the scientists or the military act like idiots, and the f/x aren't _too_ cheap. There's even a genuine red-herring or two to keep the audience interested, not to mention some clever ideas about the Lifeform's biology. If you can't find anything else on the tube, you could do worse than to watch this.
