![]() Of course, since he’s invisible he wants to have a little fun. After testing an antidote on a gorilla that manages to work, one of the scientists, a smart but pathetic jerk played by Kevin Bacon, volunteers to take the invisibility serum to test how invisible humans could function. If you don’t know, the movie is about a group of scientists that come together to test invisibility serum on animals. How did he possibly create something hemorrhage-inducingly generic as Hollow Man? Which makes sense, since regardless of the qualities of his other movies they at least felt defined to something he could do. Not surprising that he regrets this film. Which is amazing given that a director with such a defined voice, Paul Thomas W S Anderson Verhoven, was at helm here. Aside from such minor gripes, the effects are pretty good especially for 2000.īut dear lord, this movie has no soul. ![]() If you wanted to emphasise the puppy’s brutal death there were better ways, possibly offscreen. Seriously, I know it’s simulated because he takes it off the screen for a split second. And so do scenes like him murdering the puppy. I do have gripes with things like how his body is deconstructed to show his insides as he becomes invisible-they do have effort put into it, sure (more than half of the film’s $90M budget was for the effects), but it still looks rather fake. The special effects are mostly solid and work best when the main character is invisible or even wet. (I am half-exaggerating, as this was one of those films promoted by fictitious critic David Manning.) They did create technology to use for their movies, after all. It’s as if Sony conned everyone into having everyone shell out $190M for a tech demo, not a movie. The only thing hollow here is the movie’s soul. If the man really was hollow, then he would just be a shell of a being with nothing inside. That title is factually incorrect, by the way. However, if you haven't seen a movie in a very long time and are re-discovering it then exceptions may be made.
