Invasion von der Wega - The Invaders

SDP
David Vincent ist ein angesehener Architekt, ihn kann eigentlich kaum etwas erschüttern, bis er eines Nachts ein landendes UFO entdeckt. Die alarmierte Polizei findet keine Spuren, und macht sich lustig über ihn. Nach und nach wird sein Name diskreditiert, er wird als Spinner hingestellt. Eigenständig beginnt Vincent nach Spuren der Außerirdischen zu suchen, dabei entdeckt er eine Invasion von der kein Mensch bisher weiß. Nur langsam lassen sich andere von den angreifenden Aliens überzeugen, um den Kampf gegen sie aufzunehmen, muss Vincent aber viel mehr Leute aktivieren...

Auch wenn die Serie etwas angestaubt ist, sind die Folgen relativ spannend gehalten. Die Deutsche Synchronisation übernahm aber nur wenige Folgen der Serie, weshalb ist mir ein Rätsel, ich vermute Krimis aus Hollywood waren angesagter und brachten mehr ein. Sicher nahmen die Macher/innen der Show sich „Krieg der Welten“ als Vorbild, wobei sich Welles Adaption einem vordergründigen Krieg widmet und dies hier ein geheimer ist. Viel später wurde dann eine gleichnamige Serie produziert, die sich wie hier einem geheimen Krieg widmet. Fazit: sicher etwas angestaubt, trotzdem sind die Folgen spannend, es gibt einige Gaststars zu bestaunen, zudem ist sie Film geschichtlich interessant, weil sie bestimmt für einige „Shows“ wegweisend war, aber auch einige zum Vorbild nahm. Die DVD bietet zusätzlich: Kommentare, Trailer, usw..
 

Zu vergleichen mit „Krieg der Welten TV-Serie“, „The new invaders (Mini-Serie)“.
