Apple TV+'s "Invasion" - Starring Sam Neill - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

Somehow this got renewed for season 2.

I enjoyed the soundtrack by Max Richter though, I've enjoyed some of his stuff in the past and I thought it was excellent. I guess it's available on Apple or whatever, but I'd love to have it on CD.

So did anything actually happen? Do you see any aliens or ships?

You do, but it almost makes you wish you hadn't because it went completely off the rails around episode 5 and became comical from there on. Almost like the creators thought there was not going to be a season 2 and then all of a sudden there is so they tried to overcorrect with ep 10, which is why you have the closing scene.

So many WTF moments and unanswered questions from the early episodes.

I gotta figure out how to unsubscribe from this thread just to teach this show a lesson that it doesn’t deserve to be talked about

You all should do the same

I mean...overall the theme to this show was

UNDERWHELMING.

I'm all about slow burns, but holy mackeral. What a thud of a final episode. People sure love to talk in this show....and talk alot..blah blah blah!

I'll still watch season 2 if I have Apple+ in a year

Quite the cliffhanger. Almost looks like season 1 was just a prelude.

The beach scene at the end is a blatant rip-off of The Quiet Earth.

Huh? It's nothing like that scene. In Quiet Earth the "effect" takes the protagonist to a different world, and we see a ring planet and strange cloud formations. In Invasion

The only similarity I see is a beach, but that seems hardly unique to Quiet Earth. In any case the context of the scene is entirely different.

I was referring to the characters seeing something otherworldly while on the beach.

Yeah, me too. Episode 6 was almost brilliant. But I understand why it's not for everyone.

I only watched the last two episodes and I don't feel like I missed a single thing, I thought it was decent and might start to watch from season 2

demonbeast · 05-18-2022, 01:39 PM

Is this the show with the US Soldier in Iraq and the two kids on a school trip who get attacked by dog robots? If indeed it was I can't remember Sam Neil in it.
It looked good but the design of the aliens wasn't great.

I'm all for terse build-up and skillful stage-setting, but, we ultimately found this staggeringly dull. I'm flabbergasted it got a renewal.

There was seemingly nothing in terms of set-building or production costs, at least immediately evident on screen, that would have required that the start-up costs be amortized over two seasons, as is so common with these streaming shows.
