A severely beaten teenager, trapped in a walking purgatory between life and death, must help authorities to the location of his broken body before it's too late in this remake of the 2002 Swedish thriller Den Osynlige. Graduating senior Nick Powell (Justin Chatwin) has plans to attend a prestigious writing workshop in London, despite the protests of his widowed mother (Marcia Gay Harden). In the days before his departure, he gets into a cafeteria brawl with a delinquent classmate, Annie Newton (Margarita Levieva), while defending his friend from her extortion attempts. Annie and her crew track Nick down on the night he's planning to leave, mistakenly thinking he ratted her out to the police regarding a smash-and-grab burglary committed the night before. When the subsequent beating goes too far, the assailants dump the body in the woods in a panicked attempt to dispose of it. Only, Nick isn't dead -- he's walking invisible among his classmates, friends, and family, desperately trying to alert them that he's still alive. Robbed of the traditional forms of communication, Nick must figure out supernatural methods of manipulating his environment -- and he soon realizes the very girl who attacked him may be the only one who has the power to save him. ~ Derek Armstrong, Rovi

A handful of heroes become superheroes under unlikely circumstances in this action drama adapted from the long-running Marvel comic-book series. Four astronauts are on a mission aboard a new experimental spacecraft when they are unexpectedly exposed to a massive dose of gamma rays. The accident causes strange and unexpected transformations in all four. Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd), top scientist and leader of the mission, can now stretch his body like elastic and is dubbed Mr. Fantastic. His partner and sweetheart, Sue Storm (Jessica Alba), develops the ability to become invisible at will, and becomes known as The Invisible Girl. Her younger brother, Johnny Storm (Chris Evans), is renamed The Human Torch for his new talent of being able to summon up fire from his body when he chooses. And Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis), pilot for the journey, mutates into a monstrous creature with superhuman strength and muscles like stone, known as The Thing. Together, the travelers become known as the Fantastic Four, and they set out to use their unusual skills to fight crime, quickly gaining a nemesis in another altered hero who uses his talents for evil, Doctor Doom (Julian McMahon). A long-gestating project that had been talked about by a number of filmmakers since the early '90s, Fantastic Four was previously the basis for a pair of animated television serials, and was made into a feature film in 1994 by producer Roger Corman, though that film was never officially released. (Fantastic Four creator Stan Lee has said the 1994 film was made only so that the producers could hold on to the rights to the characters, and that it was never intended to be distributed to the public.) ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Doglike Manticore refugee Joshua (Kevin Durand) has befriended Annie Fisher (Kandyse McClure), a blind woman who does not fear him because she cannot see him. Meanwhile, public hostility against Joshua and his fellow transgens is fueled by White (Martin Cummins) and Mrs. Morehead (Gabrielle Rose). The hysteria reaches a fever pitch when it appears that Joshua has kidnapped Annie. To save her fellow transgen, Max (Jessica Alba) may have to break her vow to avoid Logan (Michael Weatherly) -- even if it means infecting Logan with her deadly virus. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Russians send a distress call to the SGC when an Asgard Stargate, recovered from the ocean floor, begins wreaking havoc, creating a perpetual wormhole. The SG-1 crew teams with Soviet scientist Dr. Svetlan Markov (Marina Sirtis) to neutralize the Stargate, which has been locked into a water-covered planet. Along the way, O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) is unexpectedly reunited with the traitorous Col. Maybourne (Tom McBeath). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
