Buried somewhere within the bipolar extravaganza that is ‘‘The Invasion’’ is an awfully good movie that got away.
The story of what might have been a really exciting movie.
The spores are passed from person to person in an icky spew of green bile. Then you go to sleep, your DNA is re-engineered, and you wake up part of an alien ant colony.
The movie’s other brilliantly perverse idea: This might not be such a bad thing. In shards of overheard news footage, we realize that peace is breaking out all over the planet: Iraq, Israel, North Korea. Why fight when we’re all one big organism anyway? Is individuality a fair trade for global harmony? As ‘‘The Invasion’’ hurtles forward, fraying at the seams, the audience is put in the extremely odd position of rooting for both the humans and the aliens.
