A re-imagining of the 1980s miniseries about the world's first encounter with an alien race in which the aliens call themselves The Visitors, and have a seemingly friendly agenda that may or may not be a cover for something more malevolent.

The film explicitly critiques a far-right totalitarian regime and champions an anarchist, revolutionary solution to dismantle systemic oppression, aligning its central thesis with progressive anti-authoritarian ideology.
The film features a predominantly white main cast without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative primarily critiques totalitarianism and government oppression, rather than explicitly portraying traditional identities negatively or making DEI themes central to its core message.
The series features Ryan Nichols, a main character, who is revealed to be bisexual through a flashback to a past relationship with a male Visitor. This aspect of his identity is presented factually as part of his backstory, without being central to the main plot or character development. The portrayal is neither overtly positive nor negative, serving as an incidental detail.
Bonnie Bennett, a main character in The Vampire Diaries, was depicted as white in the original book series. In the television adaptation, the character is portrayed by a Black actress, constituting a race swap.
The series portrays Christianity, primarily through Father Jack Landry, as a source of moral strength, community, and resistance against alien oppression. Despite the Visitors' attempts to discredit religion, the narrative frames faith as a positive force that provides hope and courage to the human resistance.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
