Good cast (and the kid is very good indeed). Movie seems to want to be a real scifi movie at the same time it's engaging in Disney-style Shaggy Dog hijinx, thus making for an uneasy mix. Score, while good, seems sometimes misplaced and a victim of this same confusion. Plot contains more than the usual amount of semi-science and pure gibberish for this genre. Wow, Robby is actually pretty evil in this one (at least, until toward the end).

...Thanks for the spoilering, IMDB. Surprisingly for a film this old, the plot here (which isn't much about an invisible boy) is awfully cyberpunk. Way, way more Robby in this than in Forbidden Planet. It ain't great, but it's fun alright.

Embarrassing juvenile crap
