An opportunity missed, therefore -- especially as the imaginative sets are slightly tackily realised -- but fun all the same.

The lavish production, boasting some brilliant special effects and superior creative efforts, is an entertaining, enlightening excursion through inner space -- the body of a man.

Their voyage through the body's bloodstream past assorted organs was created by inventive special effects that make this one of the more visually interesting science fiction films of its era.

Adventure movies that get bogged down in talk are doomed, even if their premise is wonderful and parts of the film exciting or even inspiring.

This special effects extravaganza from 1966 has proved surprisingly enduring, despite a technical quality crude by contemporary standards; perhaps it's the screwball poetry of the plot.

The once revolutionary special effects not merely pales in comparison to many of today's offerings, but looks downright silly.

Call this one big-time guilty pleasure. Special effects are dynamite, concept just as good.

...our own human interior was revealed, like a Jacques Cousteau travelogue, in screen-filling vistas of surreal canals and chambers filled with floating psychedelia and the amorphous Jell-O colors of a Jimi Hendrix concert.
