This film, based on the adventures of a submarine crew of sorts shrunk to microscopic size and injected into somebody's bloodstream, was later novelised by Isaac Asimov (although it wasn't his story idea). Later on, Innerspace would use the same premise.
Unfortunately Fantastic
Voyage has aged
badly and the once revolutionary special effects not merely pales in comparison
to many of today's offerings, but looks downright silly. With little else to
compensate, this rather slow film would of curiosity value to film scholars, but little else.
- Read the script.
