Apparently "Eddie Izzard is in it" is enough for me to put movies in my queue

What do people think of the 2009 BBC version of Day of the Triffids?

I wouldn't even go that far, because the triffids get released by misguided ecoterrorists who want to free the poor oppressed triffids and is promptly killed by said triffids.

Plus the real antagonist is eddie izzard as the evil protector of england, rather than the triffids, who play a minimal part in the story until the last few episodes.

The best moral that can probably be gleaned from it is an omnidirectional "me am go too far!" and DOOOOOOOM.

"Last few episodes"? It was shown in two parts on the BBC, as I recall. Might have seemed like more, though.
