Review of Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992) by Gloriafranklyn — 29 Jul 2019
Many people hate this film. John Carpentar fans, fans of HG Wells, even Chevy Chase fans seem to disregard Memoirs of an invisible man as one of the great comedian's missteps. I think they're all looking at it wrong- this is a very fun film evoking a sentiment that comes close to reading HG Wells's books- an aura and sense of wonder.
Chevy Chase becomes invisible by accident and the entire film is a long chase by the bad guy Sam Neil to capture Chase. There is comedy, there are action sequences of the minor kind. The special effects are quite good and look far real than computer generated effects of today.
I love the setting of San Francisco and coastal California- you'd usually imagine a film on HG Wells taking place in rain drenched England, but the change of settings is fantastic in my opinion. Give this film a chance- it isn’t specific to any one genre and then make up your own mind independently.
It is about time this film got the dues.
