I did kind of like the idea of this fantasy film about the dreams of a young boy. Remembering that this is all a dream, dreams can and are often quite illogical more so even for children. Invisibility has some awesome possibilities including getting even with a bully and also learning the facts of life.
Young Richard Eyer is an average kid who would like to have his dad play catch with him some time. But Phillip Abbott is one of the most important scientists and he's got the nation's security in his hands. His mother Diane Brewster isn't too much better.
Abbott works with a giant super computer, something along the lines of what Spencer Tracy is trying to install and maintain in Desk Set. In a bring your kid to work day he exposes Eyer to the super brain and the it's like the kid took the Krel test. He even puts together Robby The Robot and they become the best of friends. Like Will Robinson and his robot.
After that it's hoping the giant superbrain doesn't take us all over.
The Invisible Boy somewhere got lost between a kid's film and a message against globalization. It's like several people created this film and all got a piece of a message they wanted to put out.
Some of the scenes between Eyer and the robot were charming, but the incoherency of the story defeats the entertainment value The Invisible Boy has.
