Memoirs of an Invisible Man
is a colorful movie with a
simple, predictable plot. An
accident in some sort of scientific
lab turns a man and most of a
building invisible.
The now troubled Nick
Holloway (Chevy Chase), who
used to be a selfish loner, now
tries to solve his little problem
as he is hunted by a corrupt CIA
agent (Sam Neill), and in the
process falls in love with the
beautiful Daryl Hannah.
Invisibility has always been
viewed as an asset in all the old
movies, but instead it causes
numerous problems for Nick
Holloway. Whenever he eats he
can see his food digest which is
not only grotesque, but also
visible to the CIA agents, so he
must starve in order to hide from
them.
He can't earn a living, he can
see through his eye lids and when
he walks in the street he must
beware of fellow pedestrians

into an Invisible
visual wonderland
running into him.
Basically Nick doesn’t want to
become a spy or a guinea pig for
puzzled scientists, he wants to
become visible. After a while of
being alone and unseen he
confesses to his true love that
being invisible makes him doubt
whether he exists.
The only bad thing in the
movie is the CIA agent. Sam
Neill has always been rather
annoying when seen on
television, but the misplaced and
obviously fake English accent he
uses in this role appears to be a
very bad Roger Moore
impression.
John Carpender, famous for
directing horror movies such as
The Thing, will surprise
audiences with this middle-of-the
road comedy-adventure.
Chevy Chase, who I thought
was getting too old for
something really entertaining, is
his old self but better as Nick
Holloway.
What is most original about
the movie is the special effects
which were handled by the
Bookstore Hours:
experts at Industrial Light and
Magic. Their celebrated
reputation is not exaggerated as
seen throughout this movie.
The office building where the
invisibility accident occurs gives
the audience a visual wonderland
and can be described as the best
effect of the movie.
The majority of effects are
completed using a process called
digital imagery which is similar
to animation, allowing the
invisible man to be seen doing
various activities. Instead of
seeing a dummy of clothes being
chased as in the original Claude
Reins version, we see Chevy
Chase's invisible man do
everything from jog to chew
gum.
In addition to being funny and
entertaining, this movie is
constantly showing the audience
what it would be like to be
invisible.
This movie is fun and, in
parts, funny but beware if you
get too involved because when
you leave you'll think nobody
can see you.
