The shrinking scenes were my favorite


Well, the entire movie was good, but the lead up, and the scenes in the ship is miniaturized and when the man starts to sweat. I could feel the tension and anxiety. I think it was very well-depicted.

It rocked lol. They shrink it down in stages, drop it in a giant syringe bottle and shrink that too! And they get out that stabalized floor roller device and very very quietly roll it across with that guy using hand gestures to get it where it needs to go! Cool sequence. Saw this at the drive in back in the sixties playing with THE JUNGLE BOOK. Yah, I saw it from the BACK SEAT!
One of my favorites.

Anyone who's worked in the motion picture industry should recognize the wheeled bottom portion of the "Precision Handling Device." It's a McAllister camera dolly.

Neat observation.

Mine too. And about the klutzy nurse who dropped the dang instrument when they were going through the ear.
