The Invisible

Definitely NOT a copycat of "The Sixth Sense" this film instead is highly original, sets its own mark, goes its own way.

Although I haven't been a teen in decades, I know them well enough to say the portrayals of the central characters are as on-the-level as I've seen lately. This never-dull and unusual story kept us involved more than we expected, and I recommend it for anyone who enjoys either teen movies or supernatural thrillers.

If you rent it from Netflix, please beware of a similar titled film, a dreadful movie about two young American stone-heads pretty much comatose in a cheap flat in Paris. Dull and stupid.

The soundtrack of INVISIBLE is truly good and proves that good music is still being done in 2007 even if they don't ever play it on the air.

One way films have improved: When I was a teen there were never any teen movies with characters you could either believe or relate to. Now they make such movies frequently. After all, the most complex problems in a lifetime are during the teen years. Everything after that is easy once you've survived the basic training of that age. Once you know that you've got an over-sized field of ideas for good movies like this.

I am one of the lucky ones who watched the movie first before watching the trailer. So I don't have the same expectations as others who have watched the trailer beforehand did.

I was pleasantly surprised to watch the movie, and I think the movie was nicely done. Honestly, it was hard to crammed a 300+ pages of book into an hour and a half movie, so I was quite happy that the director was able to make the best out of it.

Justin Chatwin, who plays Nick Powell did a great job in his acting. He can convey his feelings to the audiences, and we can't stop feeling sympathy towards him. I believe he got a bright future in front of him.

I like the way that Nick's ghost is made out to be. Instead of Bruce Willis' Sixth Sense, Nick can touch objects. In one scene, he threw a book to a bookshelves, but it returned back to normal in an instance. It gave an impression that Nick thought that what he did was happening when actually nothing had happened.

However, I think the movie could be made better. The storyline was choppy at times, which seemed that the writer was unable to connect the many storyline in the movie. There were a few scenes which were absolutely unnecessary and only served to further confused the audiences.

So a score of 5/10 for this movie.

I walked into this movie expecting something completely different than what I got. While most people are using this as an excuse to hate this movie, It made me like it even more. The acting was excellent. Justin Chatwin and Margarita Levieva are incredibly believable and both seem to really enjoy the material. I can understand why some people would be mad. Most people were expecting the teenage horror flick. I am so glad it wasn't. There was so much depth and beauty to it. In my opinion if you didn't' like it either you didn't understand it or you are a horror obsessed teen. The soundtrack also was amazing. I loved everything about this movie. The promotion(meaning Trailers) could have been done a lot more differently and better. Still i strongly encourage this movie to those of you who love deep, thought provoking, beautiful, and emotional movies!

The Invisible was actually something of a surprise to me. I saw the previews in theatres and thought "right, thriller, wait for DVD." so I did. And I had been told several times that it wasn't that great either.

In spite of this I rented it. I wasn't expecting much, but overall, it did pretty well. The concept was pretty interesting, the acting was actually very good.

It did have its moments of following a sort of CSI-type blueprint, and other pretty archetypical concepts of a thriller movie. It wasn't anything outstandingly original.

My biggest problem with it was the lack of subplot development. The whole relationship between him and his girlfriend was completely underdone and towards the end just faded away... It seemed too often that The Invisible was trying to string too many subplots together and ultimately just ended up grazing over most of them which is a disappointment.

But overall, it was a pretty well done move. Good Acting, good script, pretty good soundtrack as well.

And someone said something about the soundtrack being "indie"? I'm sorry, but most of those songs have experience pretty heavy radio play, and there isn't anything pretentious about putting popular music into a movie, that's a good thing.

The invisible is one of those movies that you walk into expecting something totally different, and the movie doesn't fail. Loosely following the theme of The Sixth Sense, the Invisible is less darker and delves into deep character study of the protagonist and the antagonist all the while providing enough twists to the plot that one hangs onto his seat anticipating the next twist. Those who couldn't appreciate this beautiful movie are either too realistic or action/horror obsessed. Justin Chatwin as Nick Powell is just awesome, portraying the frustration and desperation with finesse, extracting sympathy for the 'perfect' teenager. Margarita Levieva as Annie Newton is also fantastic as her character undergoes transformation and redemption through the course of the movie. The Invisible dares to chose a different path from the typical and comes out with flying colors. If you liked Sixth Sense, you are going to love this one.
