The error says it all :

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: element not visible

Your main issue is the version compatibility between the binaries you are using as follows :

You are using chromedriver=2.33
Release Notes of chromedriver=2.33 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v60-62

You are using chrome=64.0
Release Notes of ChromeDriver v2.35 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v62-64

Your Selenium Client version is 2.53.1 of 2016-06-30 17:37:03 which is almost 2 years older.
Your JDK version is 1.8.0_101 which is pretty ancient.

So there is a clear mismatch between the JDK v8u101 , Selenium Client v2.53.1 , ChromeDriver version (v2.33) and the Chrome Browser version (v64.0)

Solution

Upgrade JDK to recent levels JDK 8u162.
Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.9.1.
Upgrade ChromeDriver to ChromeDriver v2.35 level.
Keep Chrome version at Chrome v64.x levels. (as per ChromeDriver v2.35 release notes)
Clean your Project Workspace and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
Use CCleaner tool to wipe off all the OS chores before and after the execution of your test Suite.
If your base Chrome version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Chrome.
Execute your @Test.
