Trivia:
Because of the graphic nature of the layer-by-layer invisibility transformation, some production publicity photos indicated a different type of transformation. One particular publicity photo had Kevin Bacon invisible from the chest down, with the remainder of his body being fully visible, which contradicted with the transformation in the movie where one layer of his body become invisible exposing the underneath layer. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When the mask is made and Linda cuts out the holes for the eyes, they are rigid and angular. In later scenes they are perfectly smooth ovals. moreQuotes:
Sebastian: You don't make history by following the rules, you make it by seizing the moment. moreSoundtrack:

This could, and should, have been an interesting look on the idea of invisibility. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, they ran out of ideas and decided to just kill everyone off and have it end in huge explosions, demonstrating a total lack of creativity. Too bad. It could have been great, were it not for the total lack of good acting, the one-dimensional characters, the corny lines and the general lack of anything worthwhile in the movie at all, other than good special effects. I feel bad for Paul Verhoeven; he used to make great movies; RoboCop, Basic Instinct & Starship Troopers were all way better than this mainstream garbage. The only good thing about this movie is the special effects, and, believe me, they are good. They are just not good enough to distract the viewer from all the negative points about the movie. It's really too bad that they couldn't make a better movie about invisibility; we've never had a truly good movie dealing with the rush of power it would be to be invisible. This movie tries, but it just falls short. All those great special effects, and no good movie to back them up. I'd only recommend this to special effect nerds, people who'll watch a movie regardless of quality just to see good special effects. I can't imagine anyone else actually enjoying this movie. I gave it a 6/10, but only because of the special effects.
