Worse, the souls have the specific ability to inhabit any host and rifle through its memories at will. Wouldn’t they realize the truth of why humans would fight back, that to lose themselves in entirety is a war that each human would fight to its last to prevent? There’s even mention, with actual sadness, of another race that committed mass suicide rather than be taken. Alas, Meyer avoids this internal inconsistency like a rabid dog.

The film attempts to show a sympathetic body snatcher while telling a story of forever love, resistance, and perseverance. It dies trying. It is a galactic conceit that the alien souls have colonized twelve planets and yet never considered that hosts would care about their presence or eradication.
