Product Description
A hapless store clerk must foil criminals to save the life of the man who miniaturized in a secret experiment was accidentally injected into him. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/14/2004 Starring: Martin Short Meg Ryan Run time: 120 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Joe Dante
Amazon.com
Distractingly loose but clever, this 1987 comedy by Joe Dante (Gremlins, Matinee) stars Martin Short as a hypochondriac and Dennis Quaid as a miniaturized test pilot who is accidentally injected into him. Taking a page or two (or a hundred) from the classic science fiction movie Fantastic Voyage, Innerspace details the adventures of traveling through the human body's complicated systems, though in this case, it proves an unusual way for two characters to forge a bond. Dante's endless imagination goes into overdrive here, but the film is more gimmick than anything else and ultimately feels a bit hollow. Fans of Short or Quaid might like it more than most, though Dante's hardcore fans will also appreciate seeing his stock players Dick Miller and Kevin McCarthy. --Tom Keogh

 Fun July 24, 2008
Albert C. Doyle (Boston, MA USA)
This is a very engaging little farce, with terrific physical comedy from Martin Short. Dennis Quaid's talents may be wasted a bit, as he's stuck in a cramped capsule for most of the film, but he gets plenty of wisecracking in. Nothing deep or profound here, just well-crafted silliness.
 Spielberg's Fantastic Voyage June 2, 2008

This movie was released in 1987...and many movies from the 80s show their 20+ year age but this movie does not show its age. As a true testament to Spielberg and the great actors, this movie has aged very little. If it weren't for the very young Meg Ryan, Dennis Quaid, Martin Short and Robert Picardo, you could say that this movie is a fairly recent release.
The premise is simple. Dennis Quaid is a test pilot who has been passed up for the space program and instead is picked up by an obscure government program to pilot a submarine that is going to be miniaturized and injected into a rabbit. He has some personal problems with Meg Ryan and she dumps him. He gets miniaturized but before he can be injected into the rabbit the bad guys break into the lab to steal the technology that miniaturizes people. A lab assistant escapes with a minaturized Quaid in his pod in a syringe. Before he is killed, the assistant injects Quaid into an unsuspecting hypocondriac, Martin Short. Quaid's pod has the capability to interface with the optic nerve and the eardrum of the person he's injected in so he can "talk" to his host and "see" what he sees. And so, begins this wonderful adventure to get Quaid back to normal size by getting the stolen technology back, get Quaid back together with Meg Ryan, to get the bad guys, and to prove that Martin Short is not crazy hearing Quaid in his head. I won't spoil the movie from there on -- its a great ride. Oh, I will add that somewhere along the way we bump into Robert Picardo who plays "The Cowboy," a wonderfully memorable performance by Robert Picardo as some kind of technology mercenary -- Picardo commands the silver screen whenever he's on camera --definitely worth watching for just that.
This movie was great back in the 80s and still is a great movie. Spielberg did a great job making it timeless. The special effects are still good today and Quaid, Short, Meg Ryan, Robert Picardo are great in this movie.
The movie felt very much like a modernized Fantastic Voyage -- being about the inner space (the human body) only with a romantic comedy + action adventure movie mixed in.
This is definitely worth watching -- its an "A" Movie from an "A" Director with "A" Actors. I will also say that this is a more innocent movie from a more innocent time in moviemaking which is a welcome break from the overly "cool" and overly "sheik" personas in today's movies. It is a Fantastic Voyage. If you grew up in the 80s, you'll love this.
If you're wondering what the feel of this movie is -- its very similar to Back to the Future in terms of flavor with about the same amount of adventure, a dash less comedy and a pinch more romantic comedy. This movie inspired rides at the major theme parks so it was a major production. If you have Back to the Future, you need to have Inner Space.

Innerspace is a wonderful combination of comedy and action. The antics of Martin Short are hilarious. Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan are phenomenal. This is a great movie for the whole family.

This movie is really funny, and I think it's special effects were ahead of it's time.
