  With a great plot and screenplay, Innerspace, presents a great entertaining to the audience and that bring a funny and fine performance of Martin Short. Fresh.

• Ken S

  
  Not the most amazing ever made, but it's a boat load of fun with some great gags!

• AJ V

  
  Although this movie is really just an update of Fantastic Voyage, it has a lot of good actors, and it's fun, so I liked it.

  "Shit, I spilled my drink." I remember 'Innerspace' from my childhood. Glimpses, I mean. The terminatorish assassin with his mechanical hand, the ship inside a man, miniaturized people etc. Oh, yeah and Dennis Quaid with his all-american smile. Now SEVERAL years… More
  "Shit, I spilled my drink." I remember 'Innerspace' from my childhood. Glimpses, I mean. The terminatorish assassin with his mechanical hand, the ship inside a man, miniaturized people etc. Oh, yeah and Dennis Quaid with his all-american smile. Now SEVERAL years later, I was kinda anxious to see this film. Boy, should have left it alone.. Steven Spielberg presents... So it starts. I'm sure that he had made a name out of himself by 1987 (this film premiered on my 9th birthday!) but this film proofs that the name is not a guarantee of quality. 'Innerspace' is a fantasy film with annoying people. That pretty much sums it up. And lousy directing. Joe Dante ('Gremlins') has to be blind or deaf, or something like that. I mean, the film is so full of bad acting that I'm not sure if Dante has been on any classes on how to direct people. Bad actors are bad actors. But a good director finds ways on how to make it work. Not here. Martin Short has always annoyed me but at times he can even be funny. Meg Ryan is so fuckin' lost in this movie! Ok, she's never been a favourite of mine but damn she just can not act. Period. In overall, the acting, by any person involved, is below any expectations. Be warned. The special effects have aged well. It looks "realistic" and there's a lot of effort in making it look good. But I felt that the filmmakers did not take full advantage of the use of the body. Some nice comedy could have been made, since the film turned out to be, rather than a fantasy, a lame comedy adventure. For nostalgic reasons, I can not leave this film with a one star rating. When I saw the key scenes that I remembered from my youth, I got a smile on my face. This is how I remembered it. But sadly, that which I did not rememeber was pretty bad. And as a reminder, this film is not for the littlest ones. At times it can look and feel a bit scary. There's some violence that can not be shown to kids. Give it a try?

  This 1987 film is a wonderful combination of sci-fi, comedy, romance and thriller elements. It is briskly paced despite being almost two hours in length, and features superb performances from the leads; Dennis Quaid is excellent as usual, as is Meg Ryan in her best role. Yet the plaudits must go to Martin Short in a truly great performance he has never matched. He just needs the right role. The supporting cast are great as well; the delightful villainy of Vernon Wells who is unrecognisable as usual! Also Robert Picardo camping it up superbly as The Cowboy, one of his most memorable creations, plus the great pairing of Fiona Lewis and Kevin McCarthy, who memorably says to his dog before feeding it: 'Never beg, never beg!' The cinematography and special effects/makeup are all great as well, and Jerry Goldsmith's score is brilliant, perfectly complementing the tone of the film, alternately exciting/sprightly/romantic. Joe Dante binds it all together with magnificent verve, plus Dick Miller makes his trademark appearance! A great, timeless classic. Highly recommended.

  An old favourite. A sequel would have been interesting!

  Cool idea, but unfortunately not very well executed. The story is really out there, and it's the type of film that requires an incredible suspension of disbelief. I suppose that's all part of the old 80's charm though. Because back then, things didn't always have to make a lot of sense, as long as it was done in the name of good fun. Anyhow, if you enjoy movies like <i>Weird Science</i> and <i>Honey, I Shrunk the Kids</i>, you'll probably be entertained by this one as well. Just be to sure to keep your expectations really low. Because all in all, it's pretty average as far as sci-fi comedies goes.

  Good plot and cast. In an experiment that goes wrong a miniaturised Tuck (Dennis) is injected into Jack (Martin) instead of a rabbit.

Cant blame it for that but its just alittle lame now hehe The cast is one of those classic 80's line up's you just dont get anymore, Short being really good in some hammy moments of madness :) Ryan is cute and Quaid is probably at his best and Wells is awesome as the silent killer. The effects now arent too bad but like I said its aged badly with lots of obvious bluescreen. Still a good flick but I saw it so much as a kid I dont think I need see it ever again haha

  A typical 80s action comedy, with all the good and bad that entails. It's really fast, entertaining, funny and has pretty great effects for its time, some of the music, jokes and clothes make you cringe of course. The script makes the best of the funny main idea of a miniaturized test pilot being injected into another man's body and the chemistry of the main characters works really well. Highlight of the movie is Robert Picardo as sleazy Cowboy, though. Silly fun.

• Dean !

  
  Another 80's action, comedy that often pops up on TV. Great idea of a mini space ship going inside your body to cure illnesses. After being injected into somene, wiith time running out and other crooks after the technology they go on the run to keep both of them alive.

• Jason S

  
  Funny and with action to boot.

• xGary X

  
  Comic fantasy that depends whether the leads, Dennis Quiad and Martin Short, appeal to you or not. The humour is all obvious slapstick and sight gags, but Quaid is charismatic, and Shorts nervous hypochondria schtick is occasionally amusing. Gets increasingly ridiculous and annoying… More
  Comic fantasy that depends whether the leads, Dennis Quiad and Martin Short, appeal to you or not. The humour is all obvious slapstick and sight gags, but Quaid is charismatic, and Shorts nervous hypochondria schtick is occasionally amusing. Gets increasingly ridiculous and annoying as it goes on though.

  Martin Short is hilarious in this fantasy/sci-fi/adventure/comedy movie.

• James A

  
  The cowboy is the greatest character of all time!!!!

• Naughtia N

  
  I have watched this movie so many times when I was younger. This is a story about a scientific experiment which goes terribly wrong and a miniaturized spaceship winds up in the body of a psychologically unstable person. Lots of action, comedy and romance. A true classic.
