Title: Tepid
Product review: Nicole Kidman stars as a psychiatrist who notices her patients, her secretary and the rest of the town seems to be acting like emotionless zombies. Together with her doctor boyfriend, they discover an alien lifeform is altering humanity making us more like them. Can she rescue her son, who seems to have a strange immunity to the sickness, or is she destined to join the legion of infected?I was disappointed in this film. I liked the original novel, and this just seemed sort of blah. I never really felt Nicole's character was in jeopardy and I felt she made an unconvincing parent. She seemed physically wrong for the role. She is way overly botoxed/plastic surgered so that her face is like a stretched plastic balloon. Yek. The alien method of contaminating other victims (via projectile vomiting) seemed kind of juvenile. Meh. Overall, this was a limp, lame film, worthy of the sci-fi channel. I would rent if you must, but not buy.
