I've seen The Invisible Boy a couple of times and found it excellent. Computers have certainly changed since this was made in 1957.
A 10 year old boy, Tim reactivates Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet and gets into all sorts of adventures, best of all being made invisible. Meanwhile, his dad's super computer, built by himself starts acting strangely and plans to rule the world and Robby becomes its slave for a while. At the end, the computer is switched off for good and Robby becomes good again.
The special effects in this movie are excellent as is the music score.
The cast includes Richard Eyer (The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad) as Tim with Phillip Abbott and Diane Brewster as his parents.
The Invisible Boy is a must for any fans of 1950's science fiction. Great fun.
Rating: 4 stars out of 5.
