The Fantastic Journey

This film is extremely flawed. The acting is not very good, the production values are pretty terrible, and the quality of the editing and cinematography are similar to that of a home movie. However, the story is first-rate, although it bites off a bit more than it can chew. The concept of a floating Atlantis in a fog with three generations of time travelers inside it is quite a bit to swallow. Suspending disbelief for this film is like trying to go a year without chocolate. That being said, it is a tremendous writing achievement and the only thing from keeping this film from sinking like Atlantis. The story is the thing, as they say. This film is living proof that a good story can just about overcome any filmmaking obstacle. Most sci-fi films promise the moon, but usually only deliver tinsel. This one delivers the goods. Worth viewing.
