At first I was thrilled with the special effects, and actually
anticipated a sequel - and it was only 30 minutes into the film.
I was so excited I was ready to phone my Mom and suggest she
pick it up asap! By one hour into it I was mad and dreaded watching
the rest. I certainly can't recommend this to any PSI believers
or sci-fi fans and keep my head up in public.
The special effects were interesting and exciting, loaded with
color and movement; however, I don't know if the animal/human
body becomes invisible skin-first or not. Kevin Bacon's character
is a known manipulative liar and intellectual genius that is
sexually frustrated has no life and a God complex (i.e.: an
extreme superiority complex). No research team with today's
technology would allow this type of a personality to engage
in an important experiment, much less have no clinical condition
standards at all; and I was insulted that they would have us
believe any of the rest of the plot either. Such as when Kevin
Bacon is set completely on fire, but then is able to rise and
attack a few more times with incredible strength and vigor.
Elisabeth Shue plays the part of a stupid blond in the movie
who sleeps with any good looking male work associate. After
her shoulder gets clipped dramatically in an elevator shaft,
by the runaway elevator no less, she still has enough strength
in that particular arm to hold and pull herself up the elevator
cable she is dangling from. These are only a few of the story-plot's
sad reminders that the movie is simply a special effect demonstration.
This movie has absolutely no psychic educational value - yet
considering the lead character is invisible they could have
included some of the personal traumas or any other related issues
that many 4D entities (spiritual beings who are invisible to
the human eye and normal perception) experience themselves.
It would have created a great sub-plot but the writers missed
the mark by a farmer's mile.
There are rough sexual scenes and connotations, so don't pass
this movie off on the kids because of the special effect visuals
