The story concerns a five-man team who get shrunk to the size of a microbe and injected into the body of a comatose subject in order to perform surgery deep inside the sleeping victim. The contrast between inside and outside the body, between trippy 60s visuals and militaristic ones is amusing, but the lack of atmosphere and immediacy in either environment is a handicap.
The location-specific problems and solutions are sometimes well-placed, but when it attempts some philosophy it succeeds mostly in grinding the plot to a standstill. I enjoyed the film as a kid but not so much as an adult. Now I loved only the opening credits and the teasing cold-war vibes of the beginning.
