Movie Reviews of The Invisible
Movie Review: Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
The previews looked great, but the movie was very slow and uninteresting at times. Toward the end it picked up a bit, but overall I felt that it was a waste of money. I won't watch it again! Not a movie to buy!Movie Review: It has a potential plot but it fails because of poor execution
Summary: 2 Stars
It has a potential plot but it fails because of poor execution.
The idea of a man's soul/ghost trying to tell any living person where his body was is interesting. In the movie, he was not completely dead yet. He's just half dead or unconcious. The problem is I don't feel sympathetic or related to any character at all. It might be because of the acting and directing. After 45 minutes into the movie, I did not care about their fates at all.
For supernatural genre, I prefer Ghost, the Sixth Sense and Just Like Heaven.
Movie Review: Paranormal Thriller
Summary: 4 Stars
"The Invisible" was not a perfect film. I like its paranormal aspect in much the same way that I like the film The Covenant. David Goyer who directed "Zig Zag" in 2002 and "Blade: Trinity II" sits at the helm of this project. He keeps the pacing rolling. If you watch the deleted scenes on the DVD, it's interesting to see how many of the plot details could have been handled in several ways and the choices he made as director. Probably the greatest star of the film is its cinematographer Gabriel Beristain who has shot "The Ring Two," "S.W.A.T.," and "Blade II." While there are some paranormal plot aspects that seem questionable, this remake of the Swedish thriller "Den Osynlige" holds up pretty well for me.
Justin Chatwin who has had parts in the films "Taking Lives" and "War of the Worlds" does a good job as the good-looking Nick Powell who want to go to school in London to study writing while his mother wants him to become a lawyer. Chatwin may not have the greatest depth as an actor, but he comes across warm and likeable in the film, despite the fact that he's making money by selling term papers. Margarita Levieva who was in the TV show "The Vanished" plays Annie Newton, a hard-edged girl who brawls her way through a difficult home life and puts her in league with some rowdy friends. Levieva did a nice job in this major role, showing depth between the violent temper and her softer feminine side. Marcia Gay Harden who won Best Supporting Actress Oscar for "Pollock" in 2000 and was nominated in the same category for "Mystic River" in 2003 plays Diane Powell, Nick's widowed mother whose business sense predominates over being emotionally sensitive. There was a great variety in her performance from the very tightly controlled confident woman to the grieving mother who breaks down in sobs at the lost of her son. Nick's best buddy is Pete played by Chris Marquette. Marquette plays a weak character that has a hard time standing up for himself and is often a victim. One of the most interesting parts is played by Australian actor Alex O'Loughlin who is currently the good looking vampire on TV's "Moonlight" and is also in "August Rush." As Annie's ex-con boyfriend and betrayer Marcus Bohem, he looks rough and acts solely for his own benefit. Given this, O'Loughlin still manages to bring a nicely varied performance to the screen that is interesting to watch, even when we don't like the character. I found the sweet touches like Nick being a pal to Annie's little brother to leave a smile, despite the bittersweet violence and outcome of the film. Overall, I found the film to have some excellent nuances that enhanced from watching it originally in the theatre and then on DVD. Enjoy!
Movie Review: Suspenseful
Summary: 4 Stars
The Invisible is a movie that captures your attention and leaves you on the edge of your seat. How the lives are intertwined between a boy and a girl from a lie that is told. Because of this lie the boy becomes entrapped as an innocent victim who disappears, and a race to save his life. Very powerful acting! Alex O'Loughlin's role though minor is fantastic.Movie Review: Crap
Summary: 1 Stars
These days it seems that everybody wants to do the tricky 'Sixth Sense' kind of movie. This movie just didn't get it for me. The lead kid was just too cool for school and the story was simply predictable and pretty weak.
If you don't have anything else to do... find something. This movie isn't worth watching.
