Great plotline with unexpected twists and turns. Ending was a great way to wrap up the end of the movie. Sad, humorous, and overall great movie. Keeps you on the edge of your seat.

This is a film with an interesting story and surprisingly good performances. It comes off as a little high horse in how it presents itself, but it doesn't let that fact/style get in the way of what is happening on the screen, which is why it works. Justin Chatwin and Margarita Levia both do a good job in their lead roles.

I enjoyed watching the movie. A boy learns that he is dead and in order for him to live again, he must get the help of someone.

Al principio logra que uno se enganche con la trama, pero se vuelve larga y tediosa. Pocas escenas memorables, la escena de la mama llorando en su oficina y Annie bailando en la discoteca. Aparte de los errores geográficos (Vancouver-Washington) la pelicula deja en el aire muchos interrogantes sobre la trama en si, se puede ver una vez, pero no es recomendada para una segunda.

Wow, what a downer. I really thought this was going to be a who-done-it flick but it so wasn't. A few plot holes and just a whole drab feel to it. I thought it could have been a lot better. I was definitely disappointed in this one.

I really enjoyed watching this movie. Yes the story was a bit different than I expected but I did enjoy as well. A movie which really shows emotion. Guilt might be the worse thing on your concouis cause its the one thing that will not forget what you have done. We can see that Annie is like 2 different people the one with the hood wre she is hardcore and the other is when she does not have the hood were she tries to be better... I love the fact that she is the one who could hear him and the best of the movie is the last part when Nick asks her little brother : Is there anything you want to tell her? 'Hey Annie'

This movie wasn't horrible, but it wasn't what I expected it to be either. The trailers make it seem like it's going to be a supernatural thriller/who did it kind of movie, which it's not. The movie, like I said, is not that bad, the story was good as was the acting, it just wasn't what they made it out to be.

This wasn't even a Sixth Sense rip off - it was just flat. I was excited about this movie, the pre-views looked interesting and one of the people involed was involed with the Sixth Sense. This movie was very lacking. There wasn't even a mystery. We saw whom "killed" him and he remembered whom "killed" him so most of the movie was just trying to get his body discovered - as you knew already from the pre-views. So what was the mystery? There wasn't one.
I thought he'd learn something from his death, learn about how he effected the world - or didn't. I just... I just expected more. I was rather disappointed and would NOT reccommed this to anyone at a full price theater. I expected something along the lines of the previously mentioned, Sixth Sense instead it was very simply.

  A fully felt, decently crafted teen B-movie melodrama, plenty preposterous in places but alive to the vibrant miseries of being young and misunderstood.

  The Invisible isn't the formulaic horror film that the studio is selling it as but surely it wasn't supposed to be an accidental comedy either.

  The Invisible is, at its core, a character study, albeit one with a Patrick Swayze-in-"Ghost" paranormal edge. But it's definitely not mindless trash. If anything, the movie is too introspective, to the point that it doesn't build enough conflict or tension.

  The film disappoints on its own terms, failing to drum up any sympathy for a self-pitying rich kid who can't pry his eyes from his navel.

  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.

  Originality and even a certain amount of obscurity are more appealing than formula. This doesn't work, but I was never bored.

  The drama never comes together in a smart, meaningful way; indeed, most revelations border on the banal.

  This latest recycling of foreign-grown frights shows less interest in horror than in healing.

  This may be a remake of a Swedish film from 2002 (itself based on a novel), but unspooling in the cineplex it feels more akin to one of emo godhead Conor Oberst's more emotionally mopey musical diversions.

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

  What might work as a narrative device in a novel - the spirit guiding readers through Nick's revelations - is just plain ridiculous in a movie.

  A textbook illustration of the American movie industry's ability to take an offbeat foreign film and systematically alter or soften every provocative and original thing about it.
