Antibody

An 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.

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!

Disgraiced former-FBI, Richard Gaynes (Lance Henriksen), a year after the government had canned him after a terrorism case went horribly wrong, has to go through the highly experimental gambit of being shrunk down to microscopic size and to join a team of equally diminutive people in order to retrieve a biological bomb that has been embedded inside a terrorist's body before he dies and everything blows up. Gaynes is also assisting the cold fish, Dr. Saverini (Robin Givens), whom he's attracted to for some reason.

I wanted to like this film simply on the basis that Lance Henriksen is a favorite actor of mine, and it was serviceable enough until we get to the 'Innerspace' storyline. When Lance set's foot on the ship his character who before had been calm, cool and collected reverts into an awe-struck schoolboy-type that is either constantly asking repetitive questions (especially about 'the whites') or exclaiming how awed he is. Givens is little better as the cold fish with a 'sweet interior', while the other two shipmates are completely and utterly worthless. The film itself lacked any kind of excitement and i found myself getting bored long before the film was over.

My Grade: D

FBI agent (Lance Henriksen)gets a chance to disarm a molecular detonator for a nuclear bomb, located in the bad guys cortex.

1986 was the last time I saw William Zabka in anything (Karate Kid 2). There is a good reason, he can't act, and his dialect coach should be fired after this film.

Good graphics, and all in all, a good "real life" Osmosis Jones journey.

Weak charecter sub plots, bad music, and I would maybe expect to see this come out again, but with better named actors, and a higher budget.

It sounds like a great idea, remake or do a sequel or such to Fantastic Voyage, a serious one not like Innerspace (good in it's own way). This has a lot of good ideas going for it, the terrorist idea involving a miniature detonator that has to be found and plucked out of the body. I bet the treatment was actually pretty good, but it loses steam in the way it's presented, intermittent pacing, some silliness, weak exposition, missed opportunities, but on the other hand, many parts are exciting and fun to watch, pretty nice effects and some good stuff like lights on the ship (unlike FV where the inner body was somehow miraculously illuminated. Would have liked better science, there seemed to be very little here, more than 4 persons in the ship would have helped, better interplay between the ship and the outside crew, also lacking enough people around the place. Less time spent on the terrorist buildup which could have been dealt with more quickly and with some better exposition, and more time inside the body, etc. Decent, a wasted opportunity of sorts, yet worth a look.
