Whether or not the Proteus (and/or the laser rifle) was destroyed, it's molecules would have deminiaturized and killed Benes. It is a huge hole in the movie plot and was rectified (as best it could be) by Asimov when he wrote the noverl from the screenplay (one of the few tiems a novel has been written from a screenplay, instead of vice versa). The movie also fails to explain the apparent reduction in the mass/weight of miniaturized objects.

@Danbo020759 No, their molecules would have deminiaturised back to their original (normal) size and would have been the same size as everything else in there. But, since they were consumed and destroyed anyway, that wouldn't have happened.

Thanks for the clip! If you listen carefully,

there is really no music for about the 1st

40 minutes of this movie, and except for the last 1 1/2 minutes [or so] the music is

quite 'atonal' in quality. It really

heightens the 'tension' which is finally released with the music of that final 1:30.

The music of that sequence [including end 'credits'] is actually

beautiful, and, in my opinion, takes

everything he [Leonard Rosenman]

did in the "Combat" tv series to "the next level"!!!

Every time I watch this scene, tears come into my eyes. What a FANTASTIC movie !

I can't imagine this movie made 10 years earlier than Star Wars !

This movie plus Inner Space is what made my step daughter very curious but at the same time her grandmother died of lung cancer. She is an extremely bright and smart child with very strong ambitions of wanting to become a doctor so she can learn and develop ways to torture and kill cancer cells. She gets straight A+ in school and very high grades.We plan for her to take Human Anatomy Intermediate this summer as her mind is constantly thirsty for knowledge.

part 2...and this is what many today miss about the use of film (or TV or internet) as a messenger: that if you are "fed" info without a chance to analyze it, you will ultimately become "programmed" and nothing more than a drone. It's critical to see this, and not be "programmed" by the liberal (or conservative) media!!!

part 1...11 months later, I comment...yes, this was a huge gap, and gaps are ignored for the sake of brevity and "suspension of reality", which the film media can afford in such situations (in simple terms, people aren't given enough time to think through such things in a movie, and so the result, even if in reality is false, can in the movie be made true).

This is why taking a film's "point" or "message" behind the story is dangerous. It suspends logic and reality...

i too would like to see it uploaded on YT. Yes, there may be copyright issues, but how the hell do so many other movies make it?

I think it was Fistful of dollars is on here, and in one clip! Yes, not part 1 of 10 or anything like that. So, if you have the influence, please upload this movie. I will watch again and again, and again. Thanks

I like Raquel Welch, but she doesn't move her arms when she dances!

Like others I wish the entire movie were available on YT proper, instead of what appears to be a malware attack site that shows up in the same general "Fantastic Voyage" searches [beware all links to "full movies" elsewhere].

Many thanks to CptSchmidt for this [safe] bit meantime!

I saw this movie as a kid, it was amazing, and ive never forgotten it since. Now i find it here, but only to see the entire movie is not uploaded to youtube, i wish someone would ;)

@Danbo020759 I read the novel. It says that the white blood cell that eat the Proteus follow them to eye. When they were remove from the eye, the white blood containing the Proteus was also in the tear. It deminiaturized outside the body...
