Good movie but grossly overrated

Fresh and Exciting

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This is a blatant ripoff of "Fantastic Voyage". I can not find anything to recommend this film. If pressed, I can only say that it is better than single hand held super 8 video movies that make it to cable to feed the market for soft porn slasher flicks. This movie insults the intelligence of the viewer at every level. The science is wrong. Even a 7th grade science student could find the errors. The film is set in Germany, but they did not film it in Germany, hire any German actors or even have a dialog coach give any of the actors German accents. Every aspect of production is only a step above amateur and student films. The only attributes that improve the film are the models and digital effects that had to have been used to show a submarine navigate the blood vessels of the film's antagonist. My lingering question is why did any one make the film?

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...

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.

While 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.
