This is a very strong piece of science fiction. Fantastic Voyage knows how to create an atmosphere very well and has very little trouble building tension. I can't remember many times when I was so genuinely anxious about what was to come. Especially nice about this film is the fact that it takes a journey through the human body. Despite the fact that we are dealing with a small world, it still feels like a cool and big adventure. A very successful film that has stood the test of time well.

Fantastic Voyage was in itself a charming '60s sci-fi, but all in all a minor setback. It's something different than space; as one of the characters points out at one point, they go into 'inner space', i.e. miniaturized into the human body. That's a nice fact that builds an otherwise pretty dime-a-dozen story with an 'exciting' mission, unexpected setbacks, a saboteur on board and a female expedition participant whose main character is her. see cleavage.

The medical expedition takes the crew on a ramble, in which we get to see all kinds of parts of the body inside, each with its own challenges. But in the end it sounds nicer than it really is. The different body systems and their dangers are quite nicely done and are certainly fodder for a fascinating journey through the human being, that's true. But the story remains very standard, with otherwise wooden actors chanting forced texts, and sometimes charming but often also very clumsy special effects. Pretty entertaining cult, and this kind of sci-fi has its charm, and I also gravitated to the 3.5* every now and then, but in the end it was too often too much for that.

This one remains very nice, although of course it only gets really exciting when they enter the body. And that's with lava lamp blobs, colors, lights and a lot of net curtains. But what a brilliant idea for a movie, once done in the 80s as Innerspace but then humor had to be added. Donald Pleasence and Raquel Welch...sixties dream movie stuff. FX are sometimes transparent, but what a creativity, that scene with those lasers, unforgettable ... classic.
