Although Goldblum and Nimoy are fun to watch, the re-make of "Body Snatchers" missed the essence of what was scary in the original story. When loved ones and friends "changed" the difference was SUBTLE. "Uncle Mike just wasn't Uncle Mike". People were filled with self-doubt about their own feeling, instincts and conclusions. In the remake Brooke Adams husband goes from a sports fanatic to a sleepwalking robot. A no-brainer!

They do get points for the McCarthy cameo.
