Reviews:

I remember I really liked this movie when I was a teenager, along with the novel by Isaac Asimov that was based on the screenplay. (I never read the original story they based the screenplay on.) It was adventurous fun. I don’t recall if I was titillated by the presence on the cast of Raquel Welch, though they showed great restraint in having her covered up most of the time by the special submarine suit.

I wasn’t as impressed or entertained watching it this time around. I thought there were a couple of plot holes and, needless to say, the special effects weren’t up to the standards we are used to after all these years. But I would still recommend it if you are interested in early science fiction films or if you are watching with children, for it is certainly suitable for all audiences.

Combined Miniature Deterrent Forces

A medical and science crew board a submarine and are miniaturised and injected into an important foreign scientist’s body. The mission is to remove a blood clot on his brain that was suffered during an assassination attempt. Once shrunk and in their new bodily world, the team must battle the body’s defence systems as well as avoiding trouble with the major organs. Also on a clock of one hour before they return to normal size, they have to also contend with the fact there may be a saboteur on board. This be a fantastical voyage indeed…

The crews voyage through the body’s bloodstream and beyond is brought to life by the use of some splendidly inventive special effects, something which marks Fantastic Voyage out as one of the more visually appealing genre pictures of the time (winning Oscars for Best Colour Art Direction and for Best Visual Effects). It was also nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Editing and Best Sound Effects. It is in short a tip top tech credits production.

Based on the novel written by Otto Klement and Jay Lewis Bixby, the story is both imaginative and totally fascinating from a biology viewpoint, which is something that helps offsets the somewhat staid performances from the cast. However, are we really watching this for thespian delights? No of course not. We want director Richard Fleischer to take us on a perilous journey through the human body, and maybe just give us some suspense into the bargain. That is achieved wholesale, and while the the ending is a little too rushed for comfort, this remains a silly but wonderful filmic experience. 7.5/10

Classic SF and great visuals
This movie holds up after nearly 35 years. The TV version is often chopped up for commercials and the print muddy, but if you can get a good video or see it on a premium movie channel, Fantastic Voyage will still produce a sense of wonder as you navigate “inside” an injured man’s body with a team of intrepid explorers to find and repair microscopic damage. Some of the Cold War aspects of the film might jar, as well as a 35-year-old vision of “high tech”, but the spec effects of the journey of the PROTEUS through the human vascular system was years ahead of its time.

Uncommonly good fun
Richard Fleischer’s film is uncommonly good fun and might have been even more enjoyable had the leads not been played by Stephen Boyd and Raquel Welch. (In this movie they are supposed to be brainy medical scientist-type people; Boyd is a top security bod and Boyd is an actor who doesn’t look comfortable in a suit). It’s pretty hard to take the supporting cast as brainy scientist-types either, (that will be Edmond O’Brien, Donald Pleasence, Arthur Kennedy and Arthur O’Connell), but the plot is ingenious.

A scientist is brain-damaged before he can reveal his secret. The only way to save his life is to operate, wait for it, from inside the brain and the only way to do that is to, wait for it, miniaturize a submarine with said scientists on board and inject it into an artery where it will travel to the source of the problem and remove the clot with a laser beam and all within sixty minutes or said sub and its crew will start to grow again. OK, so it’s deliriously silly but that’s why it’s so enjoyable. The whole cast act with the straightest of faces; as far as they are concerned this could be Shakespeare, (let’s be grateful it isn’t, although O’Brien was once a commanding Casca).

Never having been inside a human body, (and stop snickering at the back), I can’t say if the ‘set design’ is accurate or not but it certainly looks the part and the designers and the special effects guys did pick up Academy Awards for their efforts. Excitement is provided largely by having a saboteur on board and from some very nasty antibodies that see the submarine as a threat and leap to the body’s defense. (Oh, and it prompted one of my all-time favorite reviews in Time Magazine that went, ‘When a body meets an antibody coming through the eye …’)
