Exceedingly bad in all aspects, but you can't look away. If Mystery Science Theater 3000 was still out there, this would be at the top of their list. The plot is shamelessly stolen from "Fantastic Voyage" without an acknowledging nod or a wink. The twists - as they are - can be seen coming from a mile away. The special effects must have been gleaned from cuttings from FVs cutting room floor. The dialog appears to have been the result of a bet among the writers to see how many times they could use the s-word. This one is a treat right from the opening credits to the last line of dialog. Must be watched without commercial interruption, otherwise you may be tempted to turn it off.
... View MoreAn unimpressive, uninspired rip-off of the 1966 classic `Fantastic Voyage` about as suspenseful as Corn Flakes. `Antibody' is basically a low budget made for TV movie built around some CGI graphics, rather then a good (or remotely interesting) story. Don't even get me started about the ship interior sets. Available on DVD, I'm sure it would make an adequate coaster.
... View MoreIf 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.
... View MoreWhile I admit that this movie left something to be desired in the way of story and direction, the fact that Lance Henriksen was cast proved that the best actors can often times save the worst movies. I also must state my displeasure at seeing this on the SCi-Fi channel. This movie, I feel could have been better had the SciFi channel not gotten ahold of it. It had potential, but alas it was never meant to be.
