This is a very average addition to the genre that is fun only for those who truly enjoy watching science fiction picture from this era

Invasion: UFO (1974) is a British science fiction movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a secret organization who tracks down aliens disguised as humans. The aliens kidnap humans and use them as spare parts for their disguises. Can the organization stop the alien invasion?

This movie is directed by Gerry Anderson (UFO) and stars Ed Bishop (UFO), Michael Billington (The Spy Who Loved Me), Gabrielle Drake (UFO), Wanda Ventham (Sherlock) and Derren Nesbitt (Where Eagles Dare).

The sets, attire, hairstyles, models, spacecrafts and costumes are as cliche as they come but still fun. I did enjoy the toys used in this during the science fiction and space elements. The cast was okay and you do get lost in their depiction of the future. There aren't any really great action or kill scenes unfortunately.

Overall this is a very average addition to the genre that is fun only for those who truly enjoy watching science fiction picture from this era. I would score this a 6/10 and only recommend seeing it under the appropriate expectations.
