  Back in the 60's this probably was an amazing movie. A scifi classic. The story is original and I loved the initial credits. Unfortunately is out of date. The FX are good but everything seems too static to represent the inner space. However is a good scfi story with a semi-slow rythm that create some suspense but I wouldn't recommend it if you have seen a lot of Cameron movies.

  An ideal way to spend a sunday afternoon on the couch. Fantastic Voyage falls right in between the earlier hokey sci-fi films of the 50's and the brainier sci-fi films of the 70's. Even to the point of two doctors debating creation being credited to a higher being or good old fashioned scientific reasoning. Dr. Duval: Yet all the suns that light the corridors of the universe shine dim before the blazing of a single thought... Grant: - proclaiming in incandescent glory the myriad mind of Man... Dr. Michaels: Very poetic, gentlemen. Let me know when we pass the soul. It's a nice roller coaster ride of a movie, with a collection of visual effects and its' mysterious score that combine to enhance the experience of "inner space". Although some of the effects are not always convincing, remember, this was 1966. The film immerses you in its' adventure to the point where you really don't care. Once inside, the lava lamp of the body is shown in all its' glory as the crew (and saboteur) navigate through to the brain. Sit back and enjoy. <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/?action=view¤t=fantasticvoyage.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/fantasticvoyage.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

  To enjoy this movie one must turn off their brain as soon as the theme tune of 20th Century Fox starts . The whole set up is very hard to swallow - A scientist who know the secret of miniaturization is injured by commie assassins and now lies in a coma due to a blood clot on the brain and only by miniaturizing a submarine type capsule and sending both it and its crew through an artery can both the scientist and free world be saved . It's never actually explained as to why miniaturizing is such a radical development for espionage or warfare . Think about it does this mean you can infiltrate the Kremlin by sending an envelope containing a miniaturized army ? Seeing as the enemy are aware of the process they can easily protect themselves against this - By running a rolling pin over all incoming mail . And wouldn't shrinking someone to the size of something little bigger than an element kill them anyway due to the changes in mass ? Wouldn't air pressure alone kill any miniaturized person ? And wouldn't it have been a good idea to vet the crew to find out if any of them were claustrophobic before sending them on their mission ? You understand what I'm saying don't you ? The ideas and plot devices presented are entirely laughable because of their nature , that's why I told you to stop thinking about it . If you manage this you've got a pretty enjoyable escapist fantasy once it gets started . You realise that if the capsule crew go on an uneventful journey we wouldn't have much of a movie so we find obstacles at every corner involving detours , anti-bodies and a traitor within and if none of this gets you excited how about Raquel Welch in a really tight costume ? What do you mean she hasn't been given any decent lines ?

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

  Slow-paced, and not terribly exciting in the least. Still, the premise is enough to earn a high degree of interest, and although the effects are terribly dated, they still manage to hold up well (probably due to a lack of other journey-into -the-center-of-the -body movies as… More
  Slow-paced, and not terribly exciting in the least. Still, the premise is enough to earn a high degree of interest, and although the effects are terribly dated, they still manage to hold up well (probably due to a lack of other journey-into -the-center-of-the -body movies as comparison) Not the most entertaining of sci-fi movies, but still refreshing in its originality.

  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 realized bodily functions, leaving Ms Welch's ample cleavage to save the day (yet again...)

  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 assassination 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.

  Unbeleivable. I'd watch it again now.
