Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Torrin-McFinn77 I'd seen some scenes from this movie used in various TV shows but never knew where they came from until I watched this. And what a neat little film. The special effects took home the gold and the submarine was well-made. Tiny scientists inside the human body in their mission to neutralize a blood clot in the brain. And Donald Pleasence from The Great Escape and You Only Live Twice as one of the scientists. If I could pick a favorite film he's done, this would be it. I wonder if they did a lot of research in order to make this movie? A lot of the scenes really looked like they belonged in the human body. There may be some scenes where you have to suspend disbelief, but it's still a good little flick.

SnoopyStyle Both US and USSR are developing miniaturization technology. Dr. Michaels (Donald Pleasence) is attacked riding in an American military convoy. He, agent Charles Grant (Stephen Boyd), pilot Captain Bill Owens (William Redfield), surgeon Dr. Peter Duval (Arthur Kennedy), and his assistant Cora Peterson (Raquel Welch) are gathered for a special mission. Soviet defector Jan Benes developed technology to shrink indefinitely for the USSR while the US can only do it for 60 minutes. Jan Benes is in a coma after a failed assassination attempt and the group is miniaturized in a special submarine to destroy his brain clot.The start is a little slow and maybe that's why there's an action scene at the beginning. While the movie is old fashion, it is filmed expertly with energy. The first act has a lot of exposition work for the actors to get thru which does slow it down. The methodical miniaturization process is not quite thrilling enough. Once the sub goes into the body, the adventure begins. These are top notch special effects for its day. The designs are good. The submarine does restrict the action to some extend. Nevertheless, this is an old fashion sci-fi classic and it introduced Raquel Welch to many hot-blooded males. I would definitely help rip off those attacking cells for her.

AbbyD-1 I bought the movie on BluRay last week and watched it and immediately realized it wasn't what I remembered when I first saw it in the movie theater in 1967. Maybe I was more impressionable back then when I was younger. The production values were so corny that they created a bias that hung through the rest of the movie. From the beginning when the car carrying Stephen Boyd arrives at the secret underground facility, then rides down the elevator and comes out in what looks like a spruced up underground parking garage. Boyd is then picked up by someone driving a golf cart and proceeds to drive back up several levels where more golf carts are seen scooting along with a soldier directing traffic.Then we see the two macho Generals, played by Edmund O'Brien and Arthur O'Connell, chomping on cigars. But the funniest part was that amongst all the high tech equipment was a simply electric hot plate and a percolator coffee pot that got repeated use and they had it sitting right on top of the TV monitors.It wasn't until the crew got into the submarine that the movie became worth watching and Raquel Welch is always a welcome sight. But wait, here is a high tech vehicle and only one person in the crew has been trained to operate it. Yeah, they have an air leak so the pilot tells two of the crew who have never been on the sub before to go over and shut off the valves, you know, they're over on the wall. Go find them. Now how is that for a script.And if they remake the movie I do hope they give those two Generals a better uniform. In place of the ribbons on their jacket was a very large patch with the letters CMDF - Combined Miniature Defense Force.Hey, just a suggestion, Raquel Welch may be the only star of the movie still alive today but if you remake it she still looks good enough to be in it.

TxMike This movie was released in 1966 when I was a junior in college. I was 20 and I remember it, though vaguely. I remembered the basic premise but watching it today, on 'Movies' channel, filled in all the gaps from almost 50 years.This was a cutting edge premise back then, to miniaturize a small submarine with a doctor and scientists inside, to be injected into the body of an injured diplomat to find the blood clot in his brain and save him. Now, in the 21st century we are on the verge of doing just that, but in a different way. Very small surgical instruments can be injected into the body, the eye for example, and controlled with magnets and exacting instruments perform medical procedures from inside.So in this movie which is sort of an odyssey inside a human body, the group encounter a number of obstacles, each time needing to invent a solution. But the fun is in seeing the various depictions of systems inside thew body. I will mention only one of the cast, Raquel Welch who was about 25 during filming, as Cora. Now it isn't totally clear to me why her character was essential, but she provided much-needed "scenery." Of course Welch went on to a good film career as a sex symbol, but at 25 she was about as gorgeous as she would ever be.
