There are good films, great films and then there are some films that are truly mindbogglingly good that they stand out among the crowd. Griff the invisible is one of those Mindbogglingly good... Oops lower your expectations for a second. I love superheroes, Iron man rocked. I loved what I have seen of the Avengers but hate and loathe what DC are doing to their icons. This movie does to marvel superhero movies what marvel did to the genre in the first place.... It made them real. What Griff has done is taken superheroes and tilted them 90 degrees again. We explore how we see the world differently and how these different people fit in or don't in this world... This movie makes you think differently at the end of it. BTW don't read anything about this movie. It's plot line in ingenious, and best unspoiled. It's not a drama, not a comedy, not an action movie. But a great, awesome story that once watched you will just love and quote for weeks.

Ryan Kwantan is fantastic as the awkward kid that seems to get bullied where ever he goes. His caring but stupid brother has helped him out with a new job, and alpha male of the new office, Toby Shmitz, takes great pride in bullying poor Griff, again.Griff takes matters into his own hands and this is where the movie starts to make sense. Admittedly the first 20 minutes are confusing as we aren't sure if it is a super hero movie or a crime drama gone wrong. But the story unfolds very satisfactorily. Griff is introduced to a girl who takes a shine to Griff and pursues a romance with him, much to the horror of Griff who seemingly doesn't understand why anyone would want a bar of him. There are some very funny scenes of the two together and your imagination is taken for a ride.All of the characters play their parts very well. I can say that this is an unconventionally romantic comedy, somewhat akin to Mozart and the Whale. It gave me a warm fuzzy feeling and to that end, I would give it 4 stars.

Griff The Invisible is a lovely story about Griff (Ryan Kwanten – True Blood) and Melody (Maeve Dermody – Beautiful Kate) who live in their own solitary worlds. They come together when they discover they are a like with their passion for the impossible.Griff is a quiet character who gets teased at his office day job. When the sun goes down, he becomes a hero by saving people from random attacks in the night. He goes on a mission to create an invisibility cloak and succeeds. Who would have thought you could make this possible with two simple ingredients. But I'm not going to tell you, you'll have to wait until you see the movie.Melody is a loner and an experimental scientist. She's into physics and tries her hardest to walk through walls as she figures out that there is all this space between matter, so it must be possible. I actually got goose bumps when her hand imprinted in the wall when she first succeeds, hair raising stuff.This is a true Australian style film with lots of humour and great Aussie actors; Patrick Brammall, Toby Schmitz, Marshall Napier and Heather Mitchell.I felt so many different emotions, some I'm not familiar with. I think because they touched a nerve with me i.e. physics and different dimensions, it got me thinking, as I often wonder about this stuff. It was a truly beautiful moment when they realised their uniqueness made them the same. They could relate to each other and communicate on the same level. It is just like in reality, when you meet someone amazing when you least expect it and you both get each other, it's magical.

People see the world through different windows. Most of us see the everyday stark reality of work, home, and family. A few people see things a bit more unusually. On the surface, Griff (Ryan Kwanten) leads an unassuming and mundane life. He has a job as a shipping liaison in a cramped cubicle, he does not enjoy talking to people, and he seems to hide even when he is walking on the street. Because of Griff's social ineptitude, he is a magnet for bullies. There is a bully at work who singles out Griff for torment and even Griff's brother Tim (Patrick Brammall) makes Griff feel uncomfortable with his overbearing manner.Griff has a secret though. There is a reason he chooses not to have any friends and only works rote office jobs. He is a superhero. At night, he scans the streets with a telescope and a bank of computers from his apartment searching out ruffians intent on harming neighborhood women. The police commissioner will call him with tips and thanks for a job well done. To keep his superhero costume in working order and incorporate new technologies, Griff visits a local hardware store and always warns the cashier to forget he was ever there.Melody (Maeve Dermody) also has a secret. She realizes that since there is so much space between the atoms in our bodies and the atoms in walls that if she aligns herself just right, she can walk through walls. She happens across Griff and is mesmerized. Here is a kindred spirit. Melody cannot stand the workaday men who fancy her because they see the world as it really is. Griff, on the other hand, does not see hardly any reality and this strikes Melody as the most wonderful thing she has ever seen.The story and interactions between aloof Griff and curious Melody work. They have a special conversational style and truly understand one another. When they are on screen together, the film works. Unfortunately, when they are apart and it is just Griff and his superhero activities, the film is a complete mess. Griff is really not a very interesting character when it is just him in his apartment trying out new superhero ideas. Melody is the character the audience cares about and wants to watch, so whenever she is off screen, you spend that time just waiting for her to reappear.
