Memorable, crazy movie

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

So astronauts all get mediocre jobs when or rather if they get back from a lunar mission ? I would have thought they would be touring like rock stars and getting head from high school groupies. But not this lot, oh but no, they are hell bend on taking down all we hold true. Unrelated to the cockroaches of earth they share a kindred need for dark and isolated places for their dormant taken-straight-out-of body snatchers burial of cocooned agents. When they fart it explodes, maybe we do share a few things with these newcomers, and perhaps the megalomaniac attempt to eat up the ruling classes of our society through city hall will sooner or later bear fruit.

As usual, I seem to be in the minority around here. More so than usual, though, this time. Although this film was a bit confusing in places, its special effects were splendid, its acting fair to quite good
I was pleasantly surprised by how well Daryl Hannah handled her two-persona role, and its story was engrossing. Excellent chase scenes, a nightmarish lab set, fine underground abandoned subway sets (loved those dangling roots!), and pretty good sustaining of tension. Twenty or so years ago, the notion of a pervasive cover-up plot involving governments at all levels would have seemed ridiculous paranoia. Not today, gang! Even though I have had fine experiences with our local police, I follow the national news, and a plot in which the police are armed, dangerous, and menaces to all good people is no longer ridiculous either. Even the inconsiderate ambitions of the aliens were, to this since-the-early-1940s sci-fi fan, quite plausible. In most reviews I make wise cracks, but not this time. Congratulations to cast, crew, computer techs, producer and director! I intend to watch this movie again.

I found the DVD of this one for a dollar at a Pawn Exchange, saw the terrible cover, and thought, this looks like a horrible movie... I wonder why Darryl Hannah is in it? Could it be it was actually good? Could it be satirical? Is Darryl Hannah really in it? And why does she look like a bug monster on the cover of the DVD, if it's supposed to be a surprise? And why was the DVD only a dollar? How long had they been trying to sell it? Why had somebody pawned it for a quarter, and never come back to get it back? How bad could it be? I decided to find out. So I bought it, stuck it on a shelf and forgot about it.So tonight I felt like watching a really bad movie, found it and watched it. It was funny, it was so bad it was fun to watch. Darryl Hannah looked like she was having fun being in a ridiculous movie for the first half or so, then like she just wanted to get it over with as soon as possible. I love the plot holes, the characters who make no sense at all and have no reason to be in the movie, the plot twists (like the shopping trip to buy the knives) that make no sense and have nothing to do with the story, the long meandering scenes about used car salesmen and bird watchers, the aliens who die for no reason when you chop their claws off, the characters who get giant bug larvae stuffed down their throats, the dialogue trying to explain in a bad meandering way what we just saw on the screen, the long scenes in which women sit around talking about scarves, the pointless scenes like the burrowing thing on the moon in the beginning that makes lots of noise in a vacuum, the bad sets and bad CGI. Others have pointed out some of the plot holes.... to me they're the best part. I did like the line about aliens who put on their humans one leg at a time... I have to wonder if the actor ad libbed it, or if it was the one good line that survived when a committee butchered a good script, when it was being made. All of it was fun and ridiculous. I liked the hero tossing aside Darryl Hannah's host body instead of trying to save her after the alien bug thing jumped out of her skin. I loved the alien bus driver who stopped to let on an old lady passenger for no reason, while abducting the heroes. I loved the couple from Eastern Europe who had nothing whatsoever to do with the story and no reason to be in it, and ended up playing no role in the action. I loved the crazy interviews with the actors on the DVD in which they tried to respond seriously about serious questions about where there were really bug-like aliens running around on earth plotting to destroy the human race. I think there are, and I think they made this movie.

In the end of the Paracles Mission, an expedition to the moon to explore minerals promoted by the space agency, the commander William Phillips (Campbell Scott) is somehow infected and sent to the Colonial Hospital. A couple of years later, a series of weird accidents happen in San Francisco: the archaeologist Lloyd Walker (Gil Bellows) sees his dig collapsing with his assistant Jonathan (Ryan NcDoneli) and the Commissioner Korshaft (Serge Houde) sealing his site without searching the body of Jonathan; Oliver (Beau Starr), the supervisor of a homeless shelter, finds that the birds have disappeared from the local park due to a weird noise in the underground; and the Bulgarian Bella (Tina Milo) is seeking her missing husband with her brother-in-law Nick (Tygh Runyan). Meanwhile, the entomologist Marianne (Sue Matthew), who works as exterminator to finance her PHD, is invited to work for the City Hall; the salesman Spence (Patrick Gilmore) has problem to receive his unemployment paycheck. Walker befriends the assistant of the Mayor Liz Quinlan (Daryl Hannah), who advises him to meet the ombudsman in the Room 86. However, the journalist Jake Roth (John Cassini) tells Walker that his partner has vanished after visiting the mysterious Room 86. When Walker arrives in Room 86 for the meeting with the ombudsman, he finds Marianne, Oliver, Spence, Bella and Nick in the waiting room with identical recommendation cards. Further, he notes that nobody leaves the room of the ombudsman. He advises Marianne that he would go inside alone and that he is armed, but she believes he is paranoid with a Theory of Conspiracy. However, when Walker enters the place, he discovers the dark secret of the City Hall."Final Days of Planet Earth" has a confused beginning with the introduction of different characters without any connection among them. However, later they are gathered together to fight against the alien invader. The plot is not original, using the storyline of the classic "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"; however, it is entertaining and underrated in IMDb since the story is well-constructed with minor flaws and supported by good acting and special effects. One of the greatest flaws is, for example, when Marianne discovers that the alien insects are affected by her poison, why not using it again along their battle against the invaders? The cover of the DVD released in Brazil is a big spoiler disclosing the human identity of the Queen. My vote is six.Titrle (Brazil): "Os Últimos Dias do Planeta Terra" ("The Last Days of Planet Earth")
