It was a very boring show; slick, good looking and sharp. The general gist of it was that a man touched his Omega watch and turned invisible. It was put on as retaliation to The Invisible Man which was a much more sophisticated and elegant animal.There was an obligatory husky voice over and pin sharp editing but it pushed disbelief just one step too far. The soundtrack was horns and stabbing but the clarion didn't really come off for anything other than switch over and put something else on.

He is permanently invisible, due to radiation exposure.The watch makes him visible ... some kind of 'DNA stabilizer', according to the show.He becomes invisible again by turning the watch off.If he remains too long invisible, then he dies.Just thought I'd clarify the sci-fi element of the show.This was one of many quickly cancelled 70s series, along with the likes of Logan's Run, Man from Atlantis & Fantastic Journey that still manages to cling on in the minds of many ... how long before these shows get a remake, I wonder? Especially given the current climate or remake, re-hash & recycle, in film & television.

Gemini Man was a fun Harve Bennett tv series about a guy that could go invisible for 15 seconds after clicking a watch. Half of it's twelve episode was never aired. The best episode was 'Minotaur' that had a huge killer robot patrolling a vast complex. It was the creation of a mad scientist upset about something. Much like a few of the episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man. It was last shown on the Sci-Fi Channel (USA).

Despite being on MST3K, Gemini Man has a few good things going for it. Namely, a fairly good acting talents (one has to wonder if it's the writing that's awkward or the actors, I choose the latter) and a quite original idea: invisibility for only a short time before all bets are off and SOMETHING will happen. One gets the feeling that this SOMETHING would have made an interesting cliffhanging season finale if this series had continued.But nevertheless, the show was more a fistfight than an academic bout. Despite it's background, don't mistake the show for cerebral ground: the producers chose Ben Murphy for fighting alone. The rest of the cast, through competant, really don't stand out.Bottom Line: Watch "Gemini Man" if you want something along the lines of "Knight Rider," but without the bad flashbacks to a certain actor's "Baywatch" career. It's just harmless fun, either if you're getting into it or just laughing and remembering "Riding With Death."Not that bad of a series.
