5.0 out of 5 stars A Superb DVD Series Prospect..., June 26, 2005

By

This review is from: Invaders (Pilot) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I fondly remember our pre-X-Files alien paranoia TV series. David Vincent, an architect who stumbles upon a hidden alien invasion agenda, faces more disbelief than Fox Mulder when he desperately tries to expose the alien presence on Earth. A probable inspiration for Chris Carter... I, for one, would gladly watch the entire 43 episodes all over again. Certainly a nice DVD set like that would fit very nicely between 'The Outer Limits' and the 'X-Files' series...

5.0 out of 5 stars THE INVADERS!!! WOW!!! "THEY'RE HERE!!!", July 13, 2001

GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY!!! GREAT MUSIC!!! GREAT ACTING!!! GREAT SHOW!!! THE INVADERS starring Roy Thinnes is the best science fiction show I've ever seen! The photography and music was better than on STAR TREK, and the writing was better than on VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA. The only weakness of the series was a lack of purpose, as Roy Thinnes as architect David Vincent spends virtually every episode fighting what seems to be a losing and hopeless battle against the Invaders from another world. THE INVADERS probably would have been better if the series had been planned like its forerunner--also produced by Quinn Martin--THE FUGITIVE, with a beginning and an end.

But this first episode is dynamite! How can you top a show where an architect sees a flying saucer and meets the occupants--who look just like humans!--in the first five minutes, and spends the rest of the hour trying to convince everyone--incluidng his best friend and business partner--that he's telling the truth? The producers used special techniques for the color, incredible music written by Dominic Frontiere--who also wrote the music for THE OUTER LIMITS--and solid actors you've seen for years in Hollywood, to make the best science fiction show I've ever seen.

THE INVADERS!!! WOW!!! "THEY'RE HERE!!!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Pilot Episode "Beachhead", February 27, 2002

By

This review is from: Invaders (Pilot) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was the pilot episode of the Invaders known as "The Beachhead". There was a total of 43 episodes over a season and a half 1967-68. I am hopefull that all episodes will be released some day. It was a very well produced series by Quinn Martin.
