DVD Reviews of Fantastic Voyage (Special Edition)
DVD Review: special effects masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
What a treat to have this fabulous example of pre-computerized special effects on DVD. Our grainy taped-off-the-air VHS version was much loved. This DVD sparkles. With apologies to the fine cast, the effects are the stars here. (Plus, it's a great sneaky way to teach anatomy to visual learners.)DVD Review: Excellent Old Science Fiction
Summary: 5 Stars
Back when this came out, it was considered a 'really cool' movie. With movies computerized these days, I can't help but wonder what they will be like ten (10) years from now!!DVD Review: One of my most favorite movies
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. So glad that I was able to buy it here. Thanks!DVD Review: Fantastic Voyage
Summary: 5 Stars
"Fantastic Voyage" is a prime example of exceptional science-fiction, way ahead of its time in technology and deserving of its 2 Academy Awards and 5 nominations. It takes the "what if" game and "unexplored territory" idea to new depths - within the human body. It uses life-and-death tension to give us a first-class biology lesson. We now actually have nano technology and mini-robots! The movie DVD recaptures the theater experience, and gives us a chance to see Raquel Welch actually act. The special features are an unexpected plus. I saw the film in a theater decades ago, and was just as stunned to see the DVD version. DVD Review: Fanatstic Voyage
Summary: 5 Stars
Had a problem with the orginal copy, but as always AMAZON replaced the video. I am very happy with the video and of course, with AMAZON.
Description of Fantastic Voyage (Special Edition)
The adventure of a lifetime occurs not in the outer reaches of space, but inside the human body. An elite team of medical and scientific specialists race to save a top government scientist who is suffering from a blood clot on the brain. Their mission: be reduced along with their submarine-like craft to microscopic size, enter the bloodstream of the ailing scientist, and journey to the brain to perform an emergency procedure. With only sixty minutes to complete their mission, the scientist find themselves fighting off an attack by white corpuscles, caught in a tornado-like storm in the lungs, and struggling to survive sabotage from one of their own.2001: A Space Odyssey took the world on a mind-bending trip to outer space, but Fantastic Voyage is the original psychedelic inner-space adventure. When a brilliant scientist falls into a coma with an inoperable blood clot in the brain, a surgical team embarks on a top-secret journey to the center of the mind in a high-tech military submarine shrunk to microbial dimensions. Stephen Boyd stars as a colorless commander sent to keep an eye on things (though his eyes stay mostly on shapely medical assistant Raquel Welch), while Donald Pleasance is suitably twitchy as the claustrophobic medical consultant. The science is shaky at best, but the imaginative spectacle is marvelous: scuba-diving surgeons battle white blood cells, tap the lungs to replenish the oxygen supply, and shoot the aorta like daredevil surfers. The film took home a well-deserved Oscar for Best Visual Effects. Director Richard Fleischer, who turned Disney's 1954 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea into one of the most riveting submarine adventures of all time, creates a picture so taut with cold-war tensions and cloak-and-dagger secrecy that niggling scientific contradictions (such as, how do miniaturized humans breathe full-sized air molecules?) seem moot. --Sean Axmaker
