...i’m skeptical.

No it doesn’t hold up as well. Fantastic Voyage is fun but quite dated. It feels like an old Irwin Allen production... like Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea except inside a human body.

I think Fantastic Voyage is a must have but I like cheesy movies from my childhood I find 2001: A Space Odyssey boring and don't need the upgrade many people think its a great film.

Looks like a good time to buy it (cheap) so I did. No digital code I assume? I see Vudu wants $4 more than what the physical disc sells for.

None of the Fox Studio Classics titles came with a digital copy.

Did you know that 20th Century Fox hired Salvador Dali as a artistic consultant for the promotional material (see second & third paintings below) for Fantastic Voyage and its New York City premiere back in 1966? Salvador Dali was quite enamored with Raquel Welch and he even painted her portrait (see first painting below) at the St. Regis Hotel while she was clad only in a bikini.

20th Century Fox even commissioned a six-minute film to document this particular event: Dali's Fantastic Dream directed by Albert and David Maysles. Even though I'm unable to share this six-minute film with all of you here, I can post a couple of pictures of the most exquisite Raquel Welch during her encounter at the St. Regis Hotel with the famous Spanish surrealist painter from way back in 1966.

So... when should we expect Disney to pump out a 4K UHD release?

The 60th Anniversary in 2026? I guess it didn't really hit me right away that when Disney bought 20th Century Fox it also meant we may not see as many Fox films get the 4K treatment as speedily. Perhaps I should just scoop up the blu-ray while I can.

this is $7 on amazon right now. I really do not like buying blus (or anything really) from amazon but I have a feeling it's going OOP? just a hunch.

Quite possible yes.

List price is $10, so a typical standard markdown for Amazon.

I got it for $5.99 back in 2018 and it wasn't going OOP just because it was cheap.

cakefactory · 09-07-2022, 09:48 PM

As a Fox title, it's probably already OOP, there's just still tons of unmoved stock out there. I'd definitely buy it right now if you think you'll ever be interested instead of waiting for it to sell out ala Working Girl or Cocoon. No way that Disney ever re-releases this.

Monterey Jack · 09-08-2022, 04:30 PM

Yes, any Fox title you're even REMOTELY interested in you should buy.

checkerboard · 09-08-2022, 04:33 PM

boom, up to $16. shouldn't have hesitated.

This would be a cool movie for a remake. I know some might say the 1980's Innerspace was one but i'd be down for yet another interpretation.

On sale only $6.69. Had to buy Raquel is worth that much. Only 3 left if you snooze you lose.

WaverBoy · 10-01-2022, 06:16 AM

An incredible deal for a great movie.

Okiephile · 10-09-2022, 02:58 PM

Great movie and an excellent transfer. I thought it still holds up well. I could watch Raquel clean toilets.

Edit: pretty sophisticated operation to use label makers on sub controls.

Raquel Welch dead: ‘Fantastic Voyage’ actress and sex symbol was 82

ScottCopeland · 02-22-2023, 09:33 PM

Anybody else watched this streaming on HBO-Max? I don’t know if somebody found a better technicolor print, or if this got remastered for an upcoming UHD, but the colors seem more vivid than on the very good blu-ray, and also less specks and damage. It’s playing till the end of the month.

TopinGroup · 06-01-2023, 04:27 PM

Just an FYI, digital HD movie is available on iTunes, Vudu and Microsoft for $4.99. It is Movies Anywhere compatible.
