| Reel.comJames PlathCall this one big-time guilty pleasure. Special effects are dynamite, concept just as good. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonWith such titles as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Planet of the Apes, the 1960s proved to be a particularly rich decade for science fiction cinema, and Fantastic Voyage stands as one of the period's most imaginative efforts. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis Schwartz"Fantastic Voyage is an absurd but entertaining trip into inner space." |
| Los Angeles TimesDennis LimThis special effects extravaganza from 1966 has proved surprisingly enduring, despite a technical quality crude by contemporary standards. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThis special effects extravaganza from 1966 has proved surprisingly enduring, despite a technical quality crude by contemporary standards; perhaps it's the screwball poetry of the plot. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherAll I can tell you is it is quite a trip. Fortunately, all of the voyaging is done in the northern hemisphere. |
| Examiner.comJeff BeckDespite the film being nearly 50 years old, it's still pretty impressive what they were able to accomplish using practical photography. Sure it's campy, but it's the kitschy design that makes it so much fun to watch. |
| EmpireIan NathanThe effects may have dated, as have the Cold War themes, but the almost real time adventure still has some tension to offer. |

| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeThat it carries the viewer along is thanks largely to its kitsch charm, its energetic pace and the stunning sets designed by Harper Goff. |
