Viaje fantástico

An important diplomat is dying, Scientists hatch a plan to miniaturise a submarine team, and send them inside to attempt to carry out a life saving procedure.

I had all but forgotten about this film, and haven't seen it for years, as I watch it, it's almost sixty years old, it truly was original, ambitious, and way ahead of so many films at the time, and many more that followed.

There is plenty of wonderful, incomprehensible gobbledegook throughout, all of it is said with absolute sincerity, equally crazy and zany are the wonderfully trippy special effects.

It's still an impressive looking film, and I don't just mean the special effects, but the sets and costumes are all quite elaborate, credit to the production team for being so bold and creative.

Fans of Raquel Welch will enjoy seeing her here I'm sure, I came here because of Donald Pleasance, one of those actors I could watch in anything.

Definitely worth a few hours on a Sunday afternoon.

8/10.
