Innerspace Reviews
Densely inventive and consistently hilarious.

Watching Innerspace is like riding a familiar roller coaster: It's decent fun but the thrill is gone.

''Innerspace'' is a classic example of a film that would achieve more if it tried less. But it still is an ambitious comedy made funny by Short's sweet performance...
| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 6, 2020
It doesn't have the dark edge of Joe Dante's other works, but brilliant performances by Martin Short and Meg Ryan make it a joy from start to finish.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 6, 2020
Noisy, witless and filled with unimpressive simulations of human tissue, Innerspace is a perfect example of small minds finding a suitable subject.

It's entertaining and pleasing. [Full Review in Spanish]

Innerspace is a movie that sucks you in from the get-go, then keeps you hooked with the way it effortlessly moves from sci-fi to comedy to action, then back again.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 3, 2015
'80s sci-fi adventure comedy has some drinking, swearing.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 4, 2012
While the sci-fi is pretty hard to fault for what it is, and the adventure is aces for a high-concept 1980s family movie, the comedy is awfully wan and reedy.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 14, 2011
For all the Amblin technology on display, Dante's greatest effects are humanistic

The plot is standard fantasy-adventure pulp, though director Joe Dante has so many screwball things going on in it that the comedy all but overwhelms the formulaic line of action.

Formulaic fun, helped by two winning leads.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 8, 2007
Short has infinitely more possibilities and makes the most of them, coming into his own as a screen personality as a mild-mannered little guy who rises to an extraordinary situation.

Though the film plays like a mix of exhilarating adventure and smart comedy, it's deepened by the notion that little Quaid is floating around inside Short's body sinking hooks into things, ripping open veins, triggering stomach acid, and the like.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 14, 2006
While the anatomical special effects are imaginative enough, the manic rather than magical tone fails to achieve the sense of awe that made Fantastic Voyage -- clearly this film's inspiration -- so fascinating.
