Invasion (1997)
Small rocks fall from the sky which, when touched, trigger a latent virus that has always existed in humans and begins mutating them into an alien species. Taking advantage of its hive mentality, the aliens are absolutely dedicated to transforming every human on Earth and do so with alarming swiftness. Only a small group of humans remain who have the medical knowledge to devise antibodies to reverse the effects of the virus.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
While the movie itself was not terrible. However, the movie did not follow the movie closely enough. It disregarded all the scientific basis of the cure that was in the book, they used another virus to drive the virus into the lytic cycle which released it from the host and allowed it to be killed by oxygen. By not following the book, the movie became unrealistic and just a scifi movie, which the book was a little scifi but with mostly scientific reasoning. The movie ruined the original idea of the book. If I was Robin Cook, i would be very disappointed with the movie and the poorly written screenplay. The movie forgot to mention the love triangle of beau, cassy, and Pitt as well. The screenplay was way to different from the book. The acting was pretty good though.
Luke Perry is not Steve McQueen, but there's no one who could save this stinker. The plot leaps from one disconnected implausibility to another.I can't imagine how anyone could sit through this to the end, no matter how adept they might be at willful suspension of disbelief. I assume the investors needed a tax deduction.The Robin Cook novel is said to be better. It's hard to imagine how it could be worse.It's the only thing on television? Go take a walk instead. You'll feel better and won't have wasted your time.Take a nap, even.Or, there's always South Park.
After seeing this movie, all that I can say is, "Scifi channel please stop making movies." They can at least stop making movies that suck so bad. Between the crappy acting and the bad, bad, bad editing of the actual story the movie needed to be burned. It gave me a headache and my eyes were burning by the end. It amazes me that there are people out there that would give this, heap of needs to be shredded film a 10 and say that they need to make more like it. UH! WHAT'S WRONG WITH PEOPLE! Wow, now that I got that out, I feel much better! Thanks for letting me rant. How in the world does IMDb expect me to write 10 lines of comment on this steaming pile of a movie.
Hokey music, cheesy special effects, a really dumb script, and heavy-handed, pedestrian direction, all drawn out to great lengths - is this a movie? No, clearly it's a TV mini-series, and a poor one at that. The only thing that might attract you to it is some meaningful acting talent, and that certainly is present. I was drawn into watching it by the presence of Kim Catrall and Rebecca Gayheart, both of whose work I've previously admired... but don't make the same mistake. Truly, it's not worth it. Give this one a miss.
