The Invisible  Ummm It was Good *** (Three Stars) 

Ummm, this movie was good. I believe I had higher expectations for it and therefore I was not blown away. The Invisible was not scary, suspenseful, or thrilling at all.  It is very much like the Sixth Sense "I see dead people" only with a different mind trip at the end. You know he is gone within the first half hour of the movie.

Fortunately the story does have a twist at the end to give you a surprise ending that you didn't see coming in the first half of the movie. This was a great surprise. The subject matter is of course something that everyone can relate to; even if we personally don't know anyone that has passed away, Film and Television have shown us that life is short and expendable, leaving us to wonder what it would be like to be dead.  Have you ever wondered if some people really see and talk to the dead? What if a dead person has a message?  Where can we find a Ghost Whisperer? This makes the story perfect and ever so curious.

As far as the actual film is concerned the movie was fresh, and clean, top quality/top notch.  The character dynamic was incredible.  Nick Powell (Justin Chatwin) -- The boy who had a terrible incident leaving his spirit to roam the earth -- lives with his widowed mother Diane (Marcia Gay Harden).  Diane having lost her husband when Nick was only 13 is distant and focused on making everything perfect especially the future, thus leaving Nick feeling alone and confused.  Even the kids at the high school have great story lines.  Annie Newton (Margarita Levieva) is a troubled juvenile delinquent, and then we have Nicks best friend the nerdy and spineless Pete (Chris Marquette).  Their chemistry was real and genuine as you see these kids interact at school and your heart goes out to them in their dilemma's.

This movie was not even close to horrible.  It was a fun and interesting mediocre, and unmemorable.  If you have a fascination with the spirit realm I do think you should go see it and therefore you will most definitely enjoy it.

 PS --  Could really do without the line "I See....You"  (nope, not dead people) gag me LOL
