There's about five books if I remember right and they were written for a teen audience so they aren't very sophisticated compared to the writers we would typically read. In the books the invaders are never identified, one of the main themes being that the group never actually knows who the invaders are. For good or for bad, it appears the movie will stay true to that part of the novels.

7 books i reckon are in the series. I've read the first 3 or 4. Definately aimed at older teens. But i enjoyed the read. Great story. Reminded me more of a "famous 5" episode.

Belle and Blade are dealers in a lot of foreign (to the US) war movies, I'd bet they get it sooner or later. http://www.warshows.com/StoreFront.bok

Thanks for the link! I noticed something there I might buy -- 84 Charlie MoPic, an excellent but relatively unknown movie.

Hells yes. I've been looking for a copy of that one for a while. Amazon has one in US viewable format, but the Chinese writing all over the photo of the box has me a bit worried it's pirated and/or a poorly done transfer.

Guys, this movie's now on The Movie Channel here in the states. Invaders vaguely Asian, but with the new-model AKs, but the jets may be J-10s, though...Not quite the Red Dawn we all know and love, but it looks good anyway. If there's a sequel, have a lot more action.

Weird! I JUST started watching it and decided to check the forum & my game site one last time before shutting down the computer. I DVR'ed it last night and I believe it's on again tonight as well. Talk about synchronicity! Well, back to the movie. I'll weigh in with my review tomorrow. 'Night!

Jeez, I skipped signing up for the proper movie package!
