Thermal Goggles
All she needed were thermal goggles to prove his existence. It annoyed me that this very obvious solution wasn't mentioned by any of the characters.
shareWhat if the optical cloak also works in IR and UV?

I kept saying to the screen, get a fogger! One of those theatrical smoke machines. You'd see his path as soon as he went through the fog.
shareReminded me of Scary Movie 2, that part was hilarious.
The godamned paint should have been all she wrote for his invisibility. No way would 100% of the paint just wash off that easily.
shareI've still got paint splatter on my tracksuit bottoms from years ago, let alone washing off a whole tin dumped on my head. That scene was pretty stupid.
shareThe suit might have been coated with Teflon.
That would be a lengthy process.
But... And I don't really care for this movie... (I'm willing to make excuses for Star Trek, cuz I do care...) I'd think this genius inventor would have considered all the basic problems of an invisible man. High among those problems, and already considered by H.G. Wells in 1897, is the problem of cleanliness. Dirt or grime on the invisible man would begin to show a vague 3D outline. The feet would be particularly affected, being constantly in contact with various surfaces. Anyway, if you care enough to make excuses, some sort of surface that doesn't take dirt easily but rinses clean easily, would be a priority for any good invisible-man-suit.
shareThat's where Wells excelled in my opinion. By accident he made himself invisible through a chemical process. I'm right there with you on the movie. I literally made a degrading remark on Moss's face because it was so distracting to me (I usually don't do that). The other issue with the movie is the behavior of the villain. To one dimensional with poor execution.
