For the first two episodes...
So thought I would brush aside the pre-hate for the show and see for myself what the latest Disney offering would bring for Star Wars fans.
The idea seems good in principle, with a murder mystery set in the SW universe pre-phantom menace.
The visuals are actually very good as is the cinematography on a whole.
The problem is that the characters seem paper-thin and unauthentic. I know, it's all fantasy anyway, but there was a higher sense of organic realism in the original trilogy that's never really been matched since.
The acrobatic, cartoonish, overly choreographed dance movies in the modern stuff always seems over the top to me.
Mark Hamill held the light sabre with both hands as if it was really heavy and this made you believe in the danger and power of the weapon. In the modern shows we're seeing dainty dancers twirling light-weight, glowing batons in the air. There's just no sense of danger.

If they condensed the entire season into 2 hours, Invasion would be an average, slow burn sci fi movie.
But what you actually get is an expensive looking, 10 hour cure for insomnia.
You may get pulled in to the hypnotic feel of the show and the stunning visuals, and the promise of interesting characters. But trust me when I say, you'll wish you'd invested the time in something more worthwhile.

What were they thinking?!
It tries to be an abduction movie, a marital breakdown study, a slasher flick, a whodunit, a noir thriller and a psychological character study and falls miserably on literally every count.
Anne Heche's OTT mania is way off and annoying, whilst Thomas Jane is about as believable as a six pound note.
By the time the twist arrives, you just don't care.
Ludicrous and messy, avoid.
