"Independent UK cinema needs to be given a chance!"
INVASION PLANET EARTH director, Simon Cox on BBC Midlands today.
starburst - review - 8/10
Invasion Planet Earth is an entertaining twist on the invasion theme that injects some thought about our planet and how we've messed it up. A science fiction film for our Extinction Rebellion era.
BRITFLICKS - Review 8/10
INVASION PLANET EARTH has that old fashioned thing that film makers used to have called, ‘vision!'
midlands movies - Review 8/10
The film doesn’t hold back by tackling global issues and inserting well-handled action sequences and a dash of drama into its narrative. Bask in Invasion Planet Earth's remarkable ambitions which aim for the sky but actually hit the stars.
Vulture hound - review - 4/5
An achievement in itself. This is the sort of low budget science fiction film that deserves to be seen.
blazing minds - review - 4/5
Fan of science fiction will really love this movie!
film stories - review - 3/5
There’s a pretty set path for low budget sci-fi movies that, to its credit, Invasion Planet Earth wilfully ignores.
The guardian - review - 2/5
Ludicrously Ambitious Low Cost Sci-Fi!
film & tv now - review - 3/5
INVASION PLANET EARTH is a mix of influences, from its’ BUCK ROGERS opening coupled with SPACE 1999-style music and the subtext of Tarkovsky’s classic 1972 film SOLARIS. Some decent CGI FX, the spirit of ATTACK THE BLOCK and INDEPENDENCE DAY.

An outstanding indie film by any standards. Grab some popcorn, relax, set back and let the invasion begin
