The place is the fabled Scottish highlands. The players hail from different worlds. The dimensions are countless. At stake is the planet Earth. From the BBC and the Sci Fi Channel comes INVASION EARTH, an ambitious, thought-provoking sci-fi epic on DVD for the first time. When an ace pilot and a beautiful scientist investigate a UFO crash, they discover two alien races at war with each other, the peace-loving Echos and the dimension-hopping nD's. It seems Earth is the battlefield and Time (another dimension) is running out. It's up to a small band of humans save us all. INVASION EARTH is sci-fi of the highest order, filled with inventive plots, startling special effects and gut-wrenching cliffhangers. Starring Vincent Regan (Troy), Fred Ward (The Right Stuff) and Maggie O'Neill (Under Suspicion) in all six episodes of the original hit miniseries.

I've been waiting a long time for this to be available on DVD. I only saw part of it when it was on the Sci-Fi channel. Well done! engaging drama I thoroughly enjoyed this series. There are not enough interesting science fiction shows/movies. I think this one has much more intelligence than most. It may not be perfect, but I didn't notice. I'm only halfway through (3 of 6) and thoroughly enjoying it. I already want a sequel. Good Solid Drama An RAF pilot shoots down a UFO and the pilot is recovered. This sets in motion an escalation of a war that had been going on for fifty years without humans being aware. There are two alien races. The Echo are peaceful and want to warn the Earth about the dimension-hopping NDs. A NATO General gets put in charge of the escape craft and its occupant. While he is quickly convinced of the existence of aliens, there is no real hard proof that his superiors accept. But if the General is right, the NDs have been tainting the Earth's water supplies for the past fifty years but with the downing of the Echo craft, they are stepping up the campaign. The NDs civilization is based upon the manipulation of living matter. They take over worlds where life is present. Earth may have an intelligence but that means nothing to the NDs. They will go about harvesting humans as they need them. Finally the extent of their plans is revealed and NATO command accepts the existence of the alien threat. But it is still up to a small handful of people to develop the strategies against the aliens and carry them out. Although the plot is similar and the title is identical to Harry Harrison's novel INVASION: EARTH, there is no credit given and the story soon deviates drastically from Harrison's. While the special effects are good, it is the solid acting and drama that drives this mini-series. I really enjoyed the acting and the way the plot unfolded. The way some people bought into the alien story and some did not seemed very plausible to me. I was just a little disappointed in the ending although it made a lot more sense than many movie endings. If you like your science fiction filled with solid drama then this one is for you.  for more information click here Good entertainment for scifi fans. Good sci-fi feast for fans of invasion dramas. My only complaint is the lack of closed captioning - not only for those who have hearing issues but also for those who have difficulty with British dialogue. It would have earned 5 stars had they added that one simple feature. The BBC tends to produce quality material with a focus on character development rather than expensive special effects; this is no different. It is worth watching - even owning - if this is the kind of stuff you like to see. reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 products you might be interested in recommendations Top TV Mini Series   search for DVDs invasion earth, begun, earth, has, invasion, world      toavi.com    web randomly chosen DVD: Zelig
