    I remember this this film very, very well. I was working at our local science museum in the OMNIMAX theater and had to endure sitting through this film 100's of times... We had to sit in the theater and watch every film to keep an eye out for dust appearing on the film (a small speck of dust was a huge black blob on screen). There were usually two of us with remote controls to activate a piece of glass called the "field flattener". It was a rectangular piece of glass that was mounted vertically in the projector and was two frames of IMAX film tall. The glass was mounted on a pneumatic piston that moved it up and down with wiper bars attached at either end. The bars were stationary and the glass would wipe across them as it moved. You had to learn how to just go numb, otherwise you'd go nuts having to watch some films 1000's of times.

      @@greenhowie: Actually, your statement makes another interesting point that is overlooked in films like, _Honey, I Shrunk the Kids._ Our bodies are designed to function with the various gaps they have. To shrink a human to the size of a CPU would have some very serious consequences regarding the reduction of the previous mass. The now surplus mass has to go somewhere, and one can't simply reduce the gaps between the mass-those gaps include neuron synapses, and various gasses dissolved in our blood. Thus, to shrink a given body, mass has to be removed. A similar problem in reverse arises when trying to return a shrunken human to their original size.

    The Journey Inside was directed by Barnaby Jackson and this is the only film he ever directed so maybe that explains why they used Alan Smithee. I think this film was possibly made for museums or even Disney because these were the main places where IMAX was predominately found back then.

    Watched the full film and seeing the names of Skywalker Sound, Dream Quest Images and Ernest D. Farino at the end credits who have all contributed to a much, much better sci-fi film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger released 3 years prior to this kinda makes me wonder what are the ideas they have in their heads when they knew Intel is approaching them to participate in this project.
    Also I see David Shire's name. He did a soundtrack to 2010, released 10 years before this. And the editor William Goldenberg did a Michael Mann film Heat a year after this.

      Gary Busey is who I'm thinking off. IMDB doesn't credit him and I cannot find a cast list for this "film"
      This was the 70s so Busey was young, this probably isn't him.

      Filmed in iMax, meaning the film stock was 70mm as opposed to the conventional 35mm, and a minimum of 24fps, but can also run the film stock at variable frame rates. Keep in mind at the time a film screening was the only way to see the true quality, and a decent 35mm film stock shot can be easily digitized to a decent if not fantastic 4K digital video stream. The home video format has nothing to do with the media a film was shot on.

      @@rasz haha nobody said they did it well. Just because you have the equipment and 70mm film doesn't mean you will get good results. Also not sure about back then, but these days film makers can get away with the iMax claim by filming only a few scenes on 70mm and doing the rest in digital or 35mm. 70mm is expensive as hell to shoot in, the reels for a feature film are massive and require hydraulic lifts to move from storage to the projector. Now imagine how much of that ends up on the cutting room floor....
