Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 1.5/4 --
Inexplicably, The Host is another convenient Meyer-induced supernatural soap dish that wants to exploit the girl power movie-going minions with schlocky cotton candy amour nestled behind an overused gothic-oriented gimmick.

3 stars out of 5 -- Niccol effectively envisions a future where cool hi-tech is set against warm earthiness.

Rating: .5/4 --
The Host fails as a romance, but it also struggles as an adventure film. The body-snatching angle has been done before, and the aliens... aren't menacing enough.

So in short, unless you are a pre-teen girl with a less-than-C average, this movie is probably not worth your time.

Kind of like watching a toddler assemble a high-end bookcase.

Lazily follows the same formula as Meyer's other works, but insert aliens where you'd think vampires.

The Host wraps up cleanly but it's clear from the ending that, all going well, there will be a second instalment.

Product Description:
A body-snatching alien takes possession of a young woman who refuses to surrender her mind, and together they seek out the man they both love as writer/director Andrew Niccol (GATTACA, IN TIME) adapts TWILIGHT author Stephenie Meyer's New York Times best-seller. The majority of the human race have been possessed by unseen invaders, leaving only small pockets of "wild" humans like Melanie (Saoirse Ronan) scattered throughout the world. Upon being captured by the invaders, Melanie finds her body claimed by Wanderer, a spirit that has been warned of the difficulties that come with claiming a human host. In the process of inhabiting Melanie, Wanderer is deeply affected by her vivid dreams and memories. And when Melanie fights to maintain control of her mind even as Wanderer possesses her body, the sympathetic entity joins her on a journey that will reveal the unfathomable depths of human love and compassion.
