Fantastic Voyage (Special Edition) description
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

Fantastic Vintage Sci-Fi

I saw this in the theater when I was a kid and thought it was the coolest movie ever. It has held up surprisingly well over the decades. It's exciting, imaginative and a film the whole family can watch. I'm docking it a single star because I was disappointed in the quality of the print. I was expecting a "restored" version of the movie with vibrant color and sharp contrast. The print was clean, but it looks old.
The extras are all worthwhile. The Commentary by Film & Music Historian Jeff Bond is good, but I'd only give it a C+. It didn't provide any surprising insight or little known fun facts. The Isolated Score Track with Commentary by Jeff Bond, Jon Burlingame and Nick Redman proved much better. Their commentary was very insightful and when it came time to listen to the score in isolation, it was in full stereo. Whenever the score wasn't present, the dialog was brought back in, which I thought was a nice touch.
The storyboard demonstration, photo galleries, and the special effects featurette all add to a great immersive experience. I give the movie an A-, the print a C, and the extras as whole a B+. Well worth your time and money.
