Invasion Ireland is a quirky blend of comedy and sci-fi that’s pretty unique. The film unfolds like a live news broadcast, which gives it this offbeat, almost satirical edge. Set in a not-so-distant future, it paints a picture of life where Martians and Irish folks are cohabitating amid a recession and soaring temperatures. The pacing is a little uneven, but that helps capture the chaos of the situation. Zelog, the Martian protagonist, is particularly memorable—he’s this disgruntled character who really brings out the absurdity of the whole scenario. Practical effects are charmingly done, which adds to the oddball atmosphere. It’s not your standard fare, but it has a certain charm that makes it stand out in the comedy-science fiction niche.
