Tiny cruise

Fantastic Voyage (1966)

This science fiction film is directed by Richard Fleicher and stars Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch and Donald Pleasence. A miniaturized submarine with a crew of specialists are sent into a man's body to try and repair his brain damage but one of them is out to sabotage the mission.

What this film does well is provide an interesting insight into how the human body works and is maybe better as an educational piece than pure entertainment. When it comes to the plot there are a few holes knocking about and despite running to a tight deadline the film seems to lack much tension. The production vales are pretty good and the special effects mostly work well although they are a little obvious at times, especially the resizing sequences.
