    Classic adventure Sci/Fi from the 60's. Donald Pleasence rules!

    This was very cool back in the late 60's when it first came out. Very dated now.

    Early Racqel Welch in a wet suit, need I say more, and it was a nice movie, to boot!. . .And here's another movie that's crying for a re-make!. . . Is anyone listening?. . .

    one of my all time favorite movies

    A rather absurd pseudo-scientific sci-fi in which a submarine and it's crew are shrunk to microscopic size to perform surgery on a dying scientist from the inside. Really it's just a dull series of feeble "action" sequences in which the tiny crew are menaced by various poorly rea...( read more)lized bodily functions, leaving Ms Welch's ample cleavage to save the day (yet again...)

    Had a great start and some awesome scenery, but it got so boring towards the middle.

    trying to remember it, but remember it fondly. It's on just now... watching whilst doing other things.... starts off slow

    The special effects by today's standards may seem a bit tame, but in 1966 they were creative and imaginative, and still look good. The concept for the film is rather fascinating and it is done quite well, Colorful and well produced.

    One of the original sci-fi classics that holds up in spite of the obviously dated visual effects. A group of scientists is miniaturized so they, and their submersible, can be injected into the body of a diplomat who suffers an otherwise inoperable brain injury during an assassina...( read more)tion attempt. I solid group of actors make the movie successful to this day, and obviously the producers were happy to get Raquel Welch into a skin tight diving suit. While the visual effect are firmly stuck in 1966, they are still visually impressive to look at, and won this movie the Oscar for visual effects that year. A couple of characters to the requisite spelling out of the medical procedures in true sci-fi form. It's a fast moving movie, exploring the workings of the human body, and a true classic in science fiction.

    Oscar winner in 1966 for Special Visual Effects this is a science fiction film worth seeing. Not because of Raquel Welch but the fantastic psychedelic special effects that are spectacular to behold!!! Worth viewing! Based on the classic science fiction novel by Issac Asimov.
