Click to viewI remember the original 80s one was not so bad, it freaked me out when I was a kid. Especially when the Visitors revealed themselves, or that scene where that girl gave birth. Horror! But watching the old series on youtube I can't help but laugh.
Anyways, there's a 'remake' or re-imagined series that started Nov3 and I am deeply hooked. Looks like science fiction of old is still the best? But so much has been promised, asked and spelt out in the pilot that I wonder if the rest of the series can keep up. We'll see.
The visitors came at the right time, when we as a species needed help the most. They bring peace, cure our diseases, technology and all for 'nothing'. And they are all beautiful too lol.
The bible equivalent would be the 'anti-christ'. I found it a little unsettling that I tended to agree with the Priest ...
Should we trust them? Should we feel bad for thinking that they are 'lying'? Of course the audience knows the visitors are up to no good, but what if it happened today... really, what would you do? How would you react? Suddenly your loved one is cured of AIDS, cancer, now can walk...how? Would you still be skeptical? Or would you embrace them?
