Review of Fantastic Voyage (1966) by Guillaume H — 03 Jun 2014
Image and colors are crisp, bright and clear but the rythm is plodding and the dialogues are very chatty with nothing much to say. Its stylish but empty,and in terms of sexism, as disgusting as hollywood in the early 60's vould get, and it doesnt help that Raquel Welch looks mostly bored or out of it.
It also has some religious tendencies I find extremley out of place in the context. All the science is trying so hard to be sophisticated and does it with such pomposity its almost cute like a 4 years old playing make believe.
Do you think the basic idea is ludicrous? Well, it looks exactly as silly as it sounds, but its worth it for the 60's trippy visual. Im willing to judge from a 1966 perspective and call it impressive (but underdevelopped).
