plot

Plot: From Director Paul Verhoeven ("Robocop", "Starship Troopers"). At a top secret military lab, a group of brilliant young scientists have just unlocked the secret of invisibility and the team's arrogant leader, Sebastian Caine, ignores the risks and decides to test the dangerous procedure on himself-only to discover his fellow scientists are unable to reverse the effect. Working around the clock, Caine's colleagues struggle to devise an antidote. But Sebastian's intoxication with his new-found power is growing, and he's come to believe his colleagues may be a threat to his very existence.

I thought it was scary...I was all paranoid for weeks after seeing it I was jumping @ every shadow :rain:

 

[wikiberry]

i liked it.

but i agree with Prowler-Pilot.
i don't think i'd watch it again.
maybe if it was on tv and i had nothing
better to do.

however my friends who watched it
thought it was a HORRIBLE movie...

 

[Curupira]

True...but it still scared the crap outta me. The plot was pretty cheesy but I like cheesy. BRING ON THE CHEESE!!!!!

 

[wikiberry]

I saw this movie on video the other night

Very cool effects. I admit I was thinking of that Superman/Wonderwoman joke just before he said it

Very good display of how power can corrupt a person...even the strongest of scientific minds.

 

[Sinistra]

I saw the film at my aunity's house and thought it was a load of rubbish. The plot kinda sucked, just a play on the invisible thang, the only thing it seemed to have going for it was the special effects.

Hollow Man

Hollow Man is a brilliant film which stars Kevin Bacon as a scientist who manages to make animals invisible. And then goes on to make himself invisible with drastic consequences.

[Chilly]

lol

as in wud it be ok to watch with the family without anything "rude" popping up? (nekked ppl,sex,etc) if its violence-fine. sweraing-fine. but S_e-x is a no go in my parents house! lol

 

[rde]

The very important thing to remember about the Hollow Man is that it's not just a terrible movie. It's an absolutely appalling movie. Dire in almost every detail.

There's not much by way of rudies, unless you consider viscera to be offputting. The special effects are excellent; the only redeeming feature in this badly-written, cliched piece of meretricious inanity.

Just imagine; it's from the director of Robocop, and the star of Adventures in Babysitting. And it's still not worth watching. In fact, it's worth getting the DVD and playing it while you're out, so you miss it twice.

ol

i saw the trailors and it dint seem SO bad......lol
then again i hav been dispooitned in the past.....lol
wat even kevin couldnt save it? lol

 

[Krystal]

[Chilly]

hey

i hope it comes on tv soon. im not one to go rent it unless theres.....someone in it whos cute.....lol. not that kev aint cute but u know! lol

 

[Dave]

Even if you think he is cute he wears a very bad mask, or else is invisible for most of the film.

He is a brilliant, vain, jealous, workaholic who had no time for his girlfriend so she dumped him. This makes him into a sexually frustrated pervert. Then he gets made invisible and the serum turns him into a crazy serial murderer. He's hardly a likeable character.

I thought about half way through that it showed some signs of getting better, but once they all got locked underground and he began to pick them off, one by one, it just became a typical slasher movie.

Great special effects but poor science -- for example in the freezer the temperature fell below -30°C yet she is picking up iron bars with her bare hands!

Why didn't she just stick the bar into the evaporator fans anyway?

And how could that little nitroglycerine exposion send the lift so high up the shaft but not blow them off the ladders?

I don't know what you mean by "ruddies" but there is a fair amount of breasts and nipples!

I'd say Caine was already a warped individual before he became invisible—as with Griffin in Wells' The Invisible Man. Turning invisible merely removed the last restraints on his behavior.

Some years ago I found the human 3D model from Hollow Man for sale on-line (if I read the description correctly). Layer upon layer of detail and fully rigged. The model cost $15,000. I wish one of my models could demand such a price!
