Another film adaptation from world wide known novelist Stephenie Meyer. In the future, the human race has been assimilated by benevolent extraterrestrial psychic parasites called "Souls". Melanie Stryder (Saoirse Ronan), a human, is captured by the Seeker (Diane Kruger) and infused with a soul called "Wanderer", in order to discover the location of one of the last pockets of non-assimilated humans. However, Melanie survives the procedure and begins to struggle for control of her body.
Actors did a great job (Saoirse was awesome as always) and even though movie is not packed with cool sci-fi gadgets and action it's still watchable. Some parts of the film are so cheesy (but ok, I've seen worst) and some dialogue are simplly bad. But my biggest problem with the movie was that a lot of times is bland and scenes were not delved deep enough into. And final result for most viewers I suppose it's or will be disappointing, because movie lacks dynamic, depth and more powerful plot. I don't think movie is good, but for sure it's not terrible. 3/5
