ryansternmd This is a blatant ripoff of "Fantastic Voyage". I can not find anything to recommend this film. If pressed, I can only say that it is better than single hand held super 8 video movies that make it to cable to feed the market for soft porn slasher flicks. This movie insults the intelligence of the viewer at every level. The science is wrong. Even a 7th grade science student could find the errors. The film is set in Germany, but they did not film it in Germany, hire any German actors or even have a dialog coach give any of the actors German accents. Every aspect of production is only a step above amateur and student films. The only attributes that improve the film are the models and digital effects that had to have been used to show a submarine navigate the blood vessels of the film's antagonist. My lingering question is why did any one make the film?

movieman_kev Disgraiced former-FBI, Richard Gaynes (Lance Henriksen), a year after the government had canned him after a terrorism case went horribly wrong, has to go through the highly experimental gambit of being shrunk down to microscopic size and to join a team of equally diminutive people in order to retrieve a biological bomb that has been embedded inside a terrorist's body before he dies and everything blows up. Gaynes is also assisting the cold fish, Dr. Saverini (Robin Givens), whom he's attracted to for some reason.I wanted to like this film simply on the basis that Lance Henriksen is a favorite actor of mine, and it was serviceable enough until we get to the 'Innerspace' storyline. When Lance set's foot on the ship his character who before had been calm, cool and collected reverts into an awe-struck schoolboy-type that is either constantly asking repetitive questions (especially about 'the whites') or exclaiming how awed he is. Givens is little better as the cold fish with a 'sweet interior', while the other two shipmates are completely and utterly worthless. The film itself lacked any kind of excitement and i found myself getting bored long before the film was over.My Grade: D

peterbp As others have made clear already, this movie is an obvious "Fantastic Voyage" wannabe - the plot is a altered knockoff of the concept of the source of inspiration. However, the screenwriter didn't bother to give anything other than the mandatory similarities between the two any real attention.Apart from the plot, what is wrong with this movie? In short, everything; props, effects, the cast and their acting (in a very polished way, if that makes any sense).All this is NOT compensated by throwing Lance Henriksen in, which despite his solid rep as a star actor (with the added fact that he in his age has acquired distinct Clint Eastwood-ish AND Malcolm McDowell-ish looks, which isn't a bad thing to claim you have :), only makes the whole thing seem even more pathetic, as his role is more or less entirely to1) blow off the occasional eye-rollingly lame line 2) to sit and look comically befuddled by the "voyage" that is eventually undertaken. 3) try to abate the comically poor acting of the rest of the castAlso, inspiration seems to have been gathered from the series "Millenium" as well. Perhaps LH was comically touched by the unreality of being suckered into starring in a flick as poorly written and executed by this.

os2user-1 I am sure Mr. Gaston Pauls will be talked about for years to come for his performance in this movie. He has the expression of a lobotomized psychiatric patient. Calling him dull is a gross underestimation of just how tedious this guy is.The rest of the cast aren't much better. This movie has the personality of a damp sponge and the appeal of a moldy sweat sock.
