A thriller about an eccentric scientist who slowly becomes evil and violent after he makes himself invisible.

* AlexBobbs thought it was pretty interesting and fairly exciting if you can dispell a lot of disbelief. In addition to accepting the idea of invisibility, you also have to accept the idea that becoming invisible makes you amazingly strong and able to survive impossible beatings. The story played out pretty well, and the "invisible" effects are very cool and original, but the final act, complete with the obligatory bloody deaths and big explosions, was so predictable that it wasn't nearly as scary as the trailer (It has its moments, though... especially Elizabeth Shue with a flamethrower. Hee hee..).

* ChrisPries not to mention the fact that only five scientist were able to do something like that, alone. Plus, they were working for the GOVERNMENT! when has the government ever let a team of five scientist do anything? it's more likely to be a large scale operation of twenty to twenty-five indeviduals at the minimum. Yeah, but that'd be too many people for the invisible guy to take on. :) -Alex Other than that, there was a gratuitous amount of blood, but not enough. never enough. sigh.

* NateCappallo thought it was terrible. Suspending disbelief is an understatement. I find it took a lot away from the movie when they use "motion sensors" to see the invisible Kevin Bacon, and when he's covered in blood one minute, and then clean and invisible again the next. I am also in agreement with the whole invisisbilty makes one stronger aspect too. And the funny thing is that the director made a huge deal about strongly urging theaters to put the movie into the theater with the best sound because the sound played such an imprtant rolw in the movie, but the sound was unnoticable before the final scene with all of the explosions. And then it was just to make loud explosion sounds.
