Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The disease--if that's accurate--converts colonists into creatures who still remember who they were, which is a nice twist. The alien-looking humans aren't the bad guys.
Con: Jamison is somewhat over-the-top from the start; a completely cardboard villain. He makes a valid point--what happened to the colonists is terrifying--but he's so unsympathetic that that point of view gets no attention.
