    I thought that this movie was very good. I thought it was full of exciting events and i was never bored during any part of it.

    Must have given lots of extra work to violinists and cellists with its soppy string arrangements which continually swell to alert us that something melodramatic is happening. This story of the poor little pretty boy whose mom won't let him do whatever he wants and the beauty queen disguised as a delinquent (gee with that wool cap on she looks so emo) never gets at anything meaningful but often seems to think it does.

    The preview looked so cool, until now the movie was so lame and pathetic.

    I thought this movie was very good. It really caught my attention and kept me hooked through the end. The fact that it didnt have a "Happy Ending" gives the movie extra points. Everyone expects Annie and Nick to end up together but this movie isnt "that kind of movie". Its good that it ends on a good/sad note.

    Seems like a broken down vehicle for teenage angst, but so many plotholes and moments of "do they really expect me to buy that?'. Its like they make up the paranormal rules as they go, which leads to a very frustrating and almost laughable experience.

    To my utter amazement, "The Invisible" isn't another lame horror movie; what's even more amazing, it's not even lame. I know absolutely nothing about "Den Onsynlige", but the American version of this Swedish import resembles "La Femme Nikita" meets "Ghost". Annie(Margarita Levieva) is a blonde, so technically speaking, "The Invisible" is "Point of no Return"(with Bridget Fonda, a blonde, taking over for Anne Parillaud, a brunette) meets "Ghost". Annie is such a petulant, hateful speciment of a girl, audiences will be taken aback because this is the sort of role that's usually filled by an African-American or Latino actress. Annie is like a cheerleader gone bad. To my surprise, "The Invisible" contains only one flat-out stupid moment: The person who calls the police should be the last person to do so. Otherwise, there's really nothing else to howl(too loudly) about. How "The Invisible" riffs on "Ghost" is sort of fun: Pete(Chris Marquette) stabs Nick in the back(like Carl stabbed Sam Wheat) and causes his "death", but he didn't mean his friend any harm; and Annie(who looks nothing like Whoopie Goldberg) is used as a conduit to deliver a message to the living just like the fortune teller. "The Invisible" also earns extra points for not ending on an entirely happy note. Expand

    A very good philosophical and dramatic presentation of how young people often feel as though they were invisible to their parents.

    This movie is poorly advertised, but a good film. It is not in any way a horror movie. It is a drama about perspective and the consequences that result from lack of conscientiousness in young adults. Moments of this movie are melodramatic, especially the end, but the realistically flawed characters and (somewhat predictable) reversals make up for it. It is worth seeing. The message of the movie is meant to be taken seriously; the spiritual medium is more of a device. Expand

    Almost as awful as Premonition. Avoid at all costs. It is forgettable and predictable as well as cliche and ugly to look at. The highlight was the good acting and impressive soundtrack.

    Not a bad teen thriller, although the idea that nearly dead people release of sort of spirit version of themselves into the world gets a little complicated when several of the characters start dying. I half expected a confab of near dead souls, collaborating to escape their fates. Justin Chatwin (he played the brother in War of the Worlds) has a charming swagger, and he’s believable as the Good Boy with a Dark Side. A more interesting performance comes from Margarita Levieva, a young Russian actress who plays Annie, the troubled teen soul who turns out to be the key to pretty much everything. The first part of the film moves along crisply, but gradually the story gets bogged down in dysfunctional family clichés, and the final resolution is completely inexplicable. If you’re a teenage girl this movie might work for you, but no one should go see it with great expectations. Expand

    And yes, you are supposed to take this all extremely seriously; it probably sounded layered and complex when the writers were stoned.

    That rare mystery in which auds know everything upfront and the characters, rather than investigating, simply wait for the culprit to turn herself in. Previously adapted as Swedish thriller "Den Osynlige," Mick Davis' script brings out director David S. Goyer's emo side.
  3. Little more than an extended excuse for a soundtrack.
