I'm going to be honest, the main reason for me to watch this movie was Max Irons ('The White Queen') and my expectation weren't very high, but boy this movie proved me wrong ! It was so good ! (I cried, oh what's new?!)
It is based on the novel written by Stephenie Meyer, a.k.a. the author of the Twilight Saga, and while I loved reading these books and some of the movies, I didn't think that The Host would be this good. I kind of neglected the book every time I stumbled upon it, but after seeing the movie I might just read it in the near future :) I don't know why but when I read the summary or watch the trailer, I still don't get the same vibe that I had while watching the movie and the story doesn't come across as strong as it actually is. So I guess you'll have to trust me on my word for this one ;)
"A race of aliens who are non corporeal go from planet to planet looking for hosts. They come to Earth and basically take over human bodies. Now it's believed that once they take over a body all memories of the previous inhabitant are gone. And there are some humans who have remain hidden from them and are basically a resistance movement. So an alien charged with locating them known as the Seeker captures one of them a girl named Melanie and puts one of them who is known as Wanderer in her body, in hopes of finding out where the humans are. But Melanie for some reason is still there and she convinces Wanderer not to say anything to Seeker. Wanderer feels empathy for the humans. When Seeker is disappointed at her lack of progress, she informs Wanderer that she'll be removed and placed in a new host and she will be placed in Melanie. Melanie knowing she can't convince her the way she convinced Wanderer convinces Wsnderer to run away and they can meet with the humans. Eventually they find them but only want to kill her but Jeb, Melanie's uncle for some reason doesn't want to. Jared, Melanie's boyfriend wants her dead too. But Ian someone Jeb tasked with keeping her safe finds himself attracted to her but Melanie won't allow it because she wants to go back to Jared. But how do they get Wanderer out of her. And Seeker is trying to find her."
