Watch The Invisible Boy For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

"The Invisible Boy" is one of the stranger films of the 1950s. It's an odd combination of a kids' film, sci-fi and horror! When the film begins, Dr. Merrinoe (Philip Abbott) lamenting that his son, Timmie, isn't of the intellectual caliber he wished he was. But Timmie certainly is about to surprise his overly intellectual dad! It seems that when Timmie is playing around his father's super-computer, the machine decides to help boost the kid intellectually. Soon, Timmie is a little genius and doing all sorts of impossible things...including assembling the robot, Robbie. He and Robbie have some rousing adventures and the film seems very much a kids' film at this point. However, nefarious things are lurking ahead, as the computer is super-evil and has plans for the robot...and that's why he got the kid to assemble it. The computer ALSO has plans...for global domination!!!This is a dated, old fashioned film that STILL is quite entertaining and fun. It is a strange combination of dark sci-fi and kids' sci-fi...but it somehow works.By the way, it WAS pretty funny in one scene, as a room of great intellects were meeting and Timmie (who was now invisible) sneaks in and plays pranks on them. One of these 'great minds' is played by Alvy Moore--the same guy who later was a regular on "Green Acres" and played the stupidest of all the characters...and that was no small feat!!!

The Stoneman Institute of Mathematics under the military is developing a Supercomputer. The military is launching a secret satellite. Timmie Merinoe is an average ten year old. His father tries to improve his intelligence by bring him to the Supercomputer. Timmie improves to such an extent that he is able to reassemble Robbie the Robot which arrived from over 300 years in the future. Robbi helps turn him invisible. Meanwhile, the Supercomputer intends to take over the world using the military satellite.There is a lot of nonchalant going on in this movie. None of the adults seem affected by a time-traveling robot especially the father. He treats the invisibility like an inconvenient prank. At times, it's laughable. This was probably strictly directed at kids. Reasoning is rudimentary and so is the acting. This is nowhere near the classic Forbidden Planet. There is a limited connection to the iconic movie which is more than simply reusing Robbie the Robot. It's cool to see this for a fan of Forbidden Planet but it's a weak movie on its own.

The main "feature" of this movie is watching the poor child getting the hell spanked out of him time and time again for over an hour and a half.It's hard to imagine how someone could allow that to happen. But, it did. The writer, director and actors all seem to be fine with subjecting this child to endless humiliation. And, the actors who portrayed the mother and father seem to really be getting off on it.Maybe they recruited them from Nazis who worked the extermination camps? Or, maybe Catholic priests who were taking breaks from raping children?Hard to know. But, as a child of abuse, this really sickened me. And, it shouldn't be shown, on Turner Classic Movies, or anywhere else.* (1 Out of 10 Stars)

Human players take a rightful backseat to incredible Robby the Robot, first introduced in 1956's "Forbidden Planet". Scene-stealing Robby is cast as a mechanical playmate to Richard Eyer's young Timmie, but soon begins receiving diabolical orders from a power-crazed computer. Long outdated science-fiction nonsense will astound contemporary viewers with its naiveté. Some see it as camp, some give it cult value. Production values just OK, dialogue and scenario wooden. If it weren't for Robby (and the film's dynamic advertising campaign--which matches nothing in the finished product), the film would not be remembered fondly today--if at all. *1/2 from ****
