So much average

hyped garbage

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Some films are hit and miss. With the film The Invisible there are more misses than there were hits. The acting by the main characters is decent as is the cinematography and musical score. What is grossly lacking though is in the storyline. I found the script to be weak and so the audience has a hard time hanging in waiting for a good ending. Instead the ending (without giving it away) is oh so typical that I ended up saying at the film's end....really? You have got to be kidding.The last 30 minutes concentrated on having the two main actors Justin Chatwin who plays Nick Powell (who is the deceased victim who miraculously comes back to life as a supernatural being whispering in his co-stars ear) and Margarita Levieva who plays the confused and volatile Annie Newton whose goal is to bring Nick Powell back from the dead before time runs out.Unfortunately time does not run out soon enough for this moviegoer who watched the film go downhill to the bitter end. Not the greatest mystery, suspense, dramatic film. I rate the picture a 4 out of 10 for the actors trying to make something out of a story line that was weak. I also suggest you pass on this one.

Okay - I am not fond of American remakes. Although it is the case that I haven't seen the original (not for long though) I decided to take a look at this.Why did I take a look at this before the 2002 one? Simple - David S Goyer. I feel he is a fantastic writer and I wanted to see him direct a movie without writing it. People call him an awful director? Most things in this movie worked well.The concept of this movie is nothing short of brilliance - That's what made me think "I want to see this movie - Swedish or American I don't care". I find it very well thought out - for those who don't know it is that after a kid is beaten up (almost to death) at the side of the road he then enters a ghost-like state where nobody can see him and whatever he does is undone immediately when he does them, there is only one person who can hear him and that is the ring leader of the people that beat him up.The plot point that it was the ring leader made some of the dialogue be reduced to "tell them where my body is" over and over. The ring leader of this in my opinion is developed more than a psychotic bitch as time goes on.Now then I better stop reviewing this and start to look for the Swedish original.

So this movie starts as a possible candidate for a great concept for a movie. But a third into it, it turns into... well I don't actually know - such a mess!It's like the English desert that Rachel makes in Friends, great potential... if it weren't for the mince meat!Seriously, did no one in the production office watch this movie prior to releasing it?! The emotional connection between the main characters is a farce, no where near strong enough to make a good love story. And the plot line is no where near intense enough to make it a good thriller.The producers should be locked up and forced to develop a time machine. Once invented, I should be given the time I spent watching this movie, BACK!

when i first saw the trailer for invisible i thought it was going to be a thriller/mystery movie.i was wrong.but i liked it.the first thing i noticed about invisible was that the soundtrack and the movie really matched with each other.some of the scenes were really beautiful. justin chatwin as nick did a great job.in my opinion hes one of the most underrated actors of our generation.rest of the cast was amazing too.it wasn't thrilling or funny,but it wasn't boring to me.the main appeal of this movie to me was acting and dialogs.the invisible is not a great movie,but its a good movie with good acting and a nice story about lonely people.it had its flaws yes,including below average special effects,but that didn't ruin the movie for me my rating 7/10.
