Gaynes (Lance Henriksen) must shrink down and enter the body of a criminal in a mini-sub to get a micro-detonator. He has a daughter, used to work for FBI and Robin Givens is in it. Our bad guy is a caricature of bad guys giving a ridiculous speech. I had to ask, "Is that acting? Is that the scene the director wanted?" He was cheesy.If you have never seen the film "Fantastic Voyage" I would recommend to watch it instead and avoid this made for TV quality film.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. No anti-bodies getting ripped off a Rachel Welch.

I've seen this movie (in the German, lip-synchronized version) for the first time on the German Sci Fi Channel tonight, and my impression after seeing it was that the script for this movie must have probably fit on a napkin. As a German, I was doubly offended by this movie, because it unintentionally portrays a parallel world version of Germany in which human rights and freedom of press do not exist. Did they fear that droves of US-Americans would have wanted to emigrate to Germany, had they shown it like it really is? The "German" "police outfits" were simply green overalls with green baseball caps. The clichés (or fears) of uninformed US-Americans about Germans were largely satisfied (bold, mean, Nazi-like, etc.), everything a US tourist could fear that could happen to him/her (being arrested for no reason, having no right to call a lawyer, etc.). That the filmmakers did not even bother to get informed about Germany is speaking volumes about this movie.Other bad aspects about the movie are the boring visuals (even in the CG scenes), as if only a couple of blood cells would bumble along the blood vessels, and the thin storyline. Oftentimes CG scenes were cut between acting scenes that were entirely unrelated to each other (like, when they discover the sender device, no image of it is shown, instead some outside fighting scenes showing the vessel). The disarmament scene is only partially shown (when the CIA guy wants to remove the numbered pylons from the chip, only a second of it is shown, then the film jumps to the next scene), ruining even the final scenes.This movie certainly deserves a number of Golden Raspberries...

One of the worst Sci-Fi/Paranormal flicks I've seen in a very long time. If they tried to make another "Fantastic Voyage", they definitely missed the mark. The plot was lousy, the acting was terrible, and I'm sorry, but White Blood Cells cannot eat through metal. Don't waste your money or your time either buying or renting this sorry excuse for entertainment!

If you like "Worst of Hollywood" or "Mystery Science Theater 3000" you'll love the made-for-TV movie "Antibody" on the Sci-Fi channel. Essentially it's a remake of "The Fantastic Journey", but without Raquel Welch, no body-tight uniforms and without any originality or 60s appeal. It adds a new! twist! to the movie with some nutter that's set a nuclear device somewhere in Europe (who cares if only Europeans die, huh?), but that's really immaterial to the joy of watching early 60s Star Trek-style camera shakes, $150 sets, and *the* most wooden acting that would make 50s B-movie stars cringe. It's not that Robin Givens or Lance Henriksen are bad actors -- it's just proves that anyone given bad direction, bad sets, an awful rehashed plot (set cliches to "kill" !) and dialogue so corny that the sense of the actors suffering through this is palpable. IMDB users have *very* generously given the movie 3.8 our of 10. The only point to this movie that I can see is to make "Battlefield Earth" look like a good movie. And, just like that movie, this is a movie that is best enjoyed with a few friends, a few more beers, and a willingness to laugh *at* a movie rather than *with* it, and from that viewpoint it is worth every one of those hard-earned 3.8 stars.
