However, unlike the plot of the 1966 Raquel Welch film Fantastic Voyage -- which featured a microscopic crew and submarine travelling through a scientist's bloodstream -- this device could not be inserted into blood vessels because it is too big.
"Fantastic Voyage" has been used many times to depict interventional medicine, which was started by Charles Dotter in the 60's.

  Fantastic Voyage
Voyager is a floating testament to the power of ingenuity when creativity itself must be managed.
Back in 1996, before Voyager had a name, a shipyard to be built in, or even a basic floor plan, it had a mission: Find a way to woo those people who wouldn't be caught dead on a cruise ship.
Voyager and its sister ships were born out of just such insight back in 1995, during early discussions about RCCL's next category of ships, which the company called Eagle.

 Filmtracks: Fantastic Voyage (Leonard Rosenman)
Fantastic Voyage: (Leonard Roseman) When 20th Century Fox debuted Fantastic Voyage in 1966, it was a technological triumph on film.
But one thing is definitely clear about the music for Fantastic Voyage: it's either a score you had been waiting for decades to hear, or it sounds like every other atonal Rosenman score and has no significance (or enjoyment quotient) whatsoever.
On album, Fantastic Voyage will be extremely difficult to enjoy for most digital age listeners, especially with the fact that Rosenman doesn't make much of an effort to provide distinguishing cues or individual ideas to take with you from the score.

 Frank's Reel Movie Reviews - Movie Review - Fantastic Voyage
Fantastic Voyage is a colorful and nostalgic tale of spies, espionage, sabotage and medical science.....
The film's premise is truly original and the journey becomes a beautiful trip as we maneuver through the lava lamp maze of fibers and corpuscles, all the while avoiding major contact with any organs, lest we trigger a devastating attack by the killer antibodies.
The dialogue leaves a lot to be imagined and the acting falls to nearly amateurish levels at times, but Fantastic Voyage is a colorful and nostalgic tale of spies, espionage, sabotage and medical science.

 Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever
Science does not yet have the ability to change your genes (although this is starting to work), but by knowing what genes you have, you can make appropriate lifestyle choices and engage in preventive strategies to influence their impact.
Rob Freitas, a nanotechnology theorist, writes, “The comprehensive knowledge of human molecular structure so painstakingly acquired during the 20th and early 21st centuries will be used in the 21st century to design medically active microscopic machines.
Freitas points out that if “the idea of placing millions of autonomous nanobots (blood cell–sized robots built molecule by molecule) inside one’s body might seem odd, even alarming, the fact is that the body already teems with a vast number of mobile nanodevices.” Biology itself provides the proof that nanotechnology is feasible.

 Classic Science Fiction Reviews: Fantastic Voyage
Science fiction writers who deal in technological innovation are often as eager to explain their latest idea as the excitable geniuses they write about, sometimes wading into awed technospeak before the plot--or even the characters--have been introduced.
The applicability of miniaturization to the Cold War suggests the space race, which was dominated by the military at the time Fantastic Voyage was written.
In the end, however, Fantastic Voyage is an engrossing adventure and a mystery set in a universe more fascinating, and more immediately visceral, than any stars-and-planets panorama.

 A Voyage Round My Father | Theatre & Comedy | This is London   (Site not responding. Last check: )
A Voyage Round My Father, produced in 1971 with Alec Guinness and lashings of applause, is a mellow comedy of filial thanksgiving to Sir John's blind barrister father of the title, who lived in the country and specialised in divorce, dahlias and drowning earwigs.
The reference to "voyage" and "round" hints at the insurmountable distance dividing Sir Derek Jacobi's moustached, querulous father from Dominic Rowan's far too disengaged and impassive son.
Rowan speaks as narrator, setting his life-story in flowing stream of reminiscence motion, watches from the sidelines and becomes caught up in the action, with, or sometimes against, his father.

 Review of Fantastic Voyage
It actually represents an improvement on the screenplay in a number of ways, but Asimov was still sufficiently disappointed in it that he was willing to rewrite the same basic scenario his way twenty years later as Fantastic Voyage II: Destination Brain (which is distinctly worse than Fantastic Voyage).
This is also the only sf novel Asimov wrote in the 1960’s, as his focus had shifted almost entirely to non-fiction after Sputnik and would remain there until The Gods Themselves was published six years later.
(The first was Environments Out There.) The movie Fantastic Voyage had been playing in theaters, and although I hadn’t seen it yet, all of my friends had and raved about it right and left, so when I got a chance to buy the book through a elementary school book club, I snatched it right up.

 James S. Robbins on Columbus Day on National Review Online
In particular he was singled out in the seminal 1969 Native American manifesto, Custer Died for Your Sins." Like any other highly regarded figure of history, Columbus was deconstructed with extreme prejudice, found to be a slaver, a religious bigot, a poor administrator and fundamentally just a guy who got lost and lucked out.
His voyages became a symbol for everything bad that followed, regardless of the good.
There is definitely need for perspective on the noble savagery in the revisionist account of the pre-Columbian era, and probably room for review of the scathing accounts of Columbus himself.

 AGH Atari 2600 Review -- Fantastic Voyage   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Unlike some of Fox's other movie-licensed home games (Porky's anyone?), Fantastic Voyage actually offers a great premise for a video game.
But like too many Fox cartridges before and after it, one flaw or another conspires to prevent it from attaining star status like the version on the silver screen did.
Overall, it's not bad by Fox standards, but that's not anything to write home about.
