It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
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.
This movie may be no masterpiece but I thought it was OK. I liked the story, the cast was OK, and everything I thought was just average. I will say after what I saw, this has got to be the most disturbing and chilling movie, I have ever watched. Not to give too much away, its a pseudo murder, ghostly thriller story. Thats what got me hooked to this movie. I was literally getting chills at every moment something big was going to happen and it just stuck with me until the ending. I will say, there were some moments that I felt were weak. Then there were moments where I felt sorry and connected with some of the characters. (Thats a total different story and I don't want to talk about it.) Anyway, I wouldn't recommend this to a horror fan but for anyone that just wants to get a good chill or enjoys something along the lines of a good ghost story. I find that karma since this movie is based off a book (sorry its not Stephen King). Overall, this gets a 6 out of 10.
Dan Grant i totally agree!When i first saw the trailers i was psyched to see this amazing adrenaline rush of a movie about a boy desperate to solve his own murder before the clock runs out but instead we got nothing...at all.He knew who killed him he knew where his body was and there was no creepy old man i think we were cheated out of what had the potential to be a gr8 movie i mean it wasn't so bad that i had to shut it off but it was not at all what i wanted to see but i gotta say i did feel a little bad for his attempt of murderer lol but even the fact that he felt bad for her sucked i was very disappointed and sometimes i think about it and just wish some 1 some where will make that movie that was promised to us in the original trailers
I'd recommend watching it if you haven't seen it. I agree that it isn't as it seems from the trailers, but that should not deter you from seeing it. The trailers make it seem like this guy is in limbo and he has to solve his own death to come back alive... or was it to go to the afterlife... I forget. But that isn't how the movie is. The story is about high schooler Nick Powell, who is an aspiring writer, and how he was wrongfully accused of something he didn't do, all because his best friend falls in deep with a criminally troubled fellow high schooler. Nick Powell was attacked and left for dead, hanging on the balance between life and death. The only one able to hear, and ultimately help him recover, is his attacker.Having said that, the movie is what it is; a psychological thriller with a little bit of drama and character development thrown in there. Now maybe that's not what you were expecting... which might be why most people didn't like it... but there is absolutely nothing wrong with this movie. Well I mean nothing wrong with it being a psychological thriller with a bit of drama thrown in.Some of the camera shots and acting were a bit weird at times, but overall it was a deep, and somewhat emotional movie that I would recommend watching. Don't believe everything you hear and read... in order to really know if a movie is good or not, you have to watch and judge for yourself... at least that's what I believe.
