Basic plot outline: A group of scientists, led by the brilliant yet eccentric twinkle-addicted Caine, are successfully researching invisibility. Having accomplished making animals in / visible, Caine insists on being the next subject for the experiment. Unfortunately, the serum effects not only the external physical nature of the subject, but morphs the internal personality too. And that's when things start to go horribly wrong...
Review: In terms of 'is this a good story', this film didn't have too much to offer. I felt that they could have really explored the consequences of being the 'unseen' to a much higher level. But in terms of pure eye candy, this film was absolutely AMAZING! The effects were SUPERB! The film overall was pretty solid, nothing utterly wonderful, but certainly worth seeing. Even if only for the effects :). Escapism is fun.
