Fantastic Voyage (1966)



A scientist is nearly assassinated. In order to save him, a submarine is shrunken to microscopic size and injected into his blood stream with a small crew. Problems arise almost as soon as they enter the bloodstream.

At its time a spectacular special effects sci-fi event despite a trashy plot it  very quickly became outdated and is now merely of historic interest.

Halliwell*: "Engagingly absurd science fiction which keeps its momentum but is somwhat let down by its décor."

Maltin***1/2: "Tremendously entertaining science fiction story...Film's then-state-of-the-art visual effects look great in widescreen."

Michael Weldon/Psychotronic: "Lots of enlarged guts, a voyage through the ventricles, and a lung-induced tornado."
