This movie was released in 1987... 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. In this regards, it is a typical 80's movie. You have the fallen hero (Dennis Quaid), his estranged love (Meg Ryan), and the fool that saves them both (Martin Short). There is also the usual dash of bad 80's clothing and techno rhythms. However, Innerspace is not really a typical 80's movie. Much of the plot is taken from the sci-fi classic, The Fantastic Voyage. However, Innerspace takes the idea from that movie to a whole new level. Not only that, but Innerspace is an action-comedy, with a little bit a romance tied it. Spielberg also did a great job making it timeless. The special effects are still good today and also remarkable.My Ratings: 9 out of 10.

The idea for "InnerSpace" is a novel one for a movie, and I can't shake the feeling that this is the kind of movie that could only have been pulled off in the '80s. Can you imagine how bland a remake today would be? Anyhoo, the whole package is a good bit of fun. It's stuffed with both plot and memorable characters (the gunhand robot guy, the cowboy, the charming Meg Ryan, and Martin Short, who shoulders the story's wacky physical comedy like a pro). This is a movie that you just sort of get lost in, and really feels like a big Hollywood riff on Disney rides. Which could be its own genre, at this point.7/10

This is the worst movie I've ever seen since the six star wars films. The version Garry Hixon has on You Tube which is 30 minutes long, is much much better. Comparison? The problem is its not even close. They think there selling Innerspace at video number one or 2, think again, people are fickle, insult or betray them once, and they feel betrayed. I have spent 49 years in California as a complete nobody, and have been with Warner Bros. for only seven months. Yes its better to be a ward of the state. Warner Bros. has a horrible and huge job with this kid and so far so good. People either don't care or don't notice, that people have many other videos in there files. Martin Short, Dennis Quaid, and Meg Ryan are very good in both versions, i believe Meg did live in Cayucas for a short while. I don't know Amblin or Spielberg, or Kathleen Kennedy, or Kent Beyda, but id love to meet them. Thank you.

From Executive Producer Steven Spielberg and director Joe Dante of Gremlins fame, Innerspace remains an entertaining, though a little bit overlong, sci-fi comedy.Lt. Tuck Pendleton (Dennis Quaid), fresh off a quarrel with his girlfriend Lydia (Meg Ryan), agrees to be the guinea pig in an experiment where he will be placed inside a ship, shrunk down to nothing and injected into a rabbit for research. However, a rival gang of scientists led by Dr. Victor Scrimshaw (Kevin McCarthy) and Dr. Margaret Canker (Fiona Lewis) want to steal Tuck for themselves. One scientist is able to escape with the syringe containing Tuck. When he is close to being caught, he injects Tuck into Jack Putter (Martin Short), a neurotic, unhappy grocery store employee.Putter is able to hear Tuck and together, they work towards getting Tuck back to his normal self and foiling Dr. Scrimshaw and his lackeys. Tuck also tries to help repair Putter's mental state, instilling some confidence from the inside.The star of the film are the tremendous Oscar-winning Special Effects, which pack a punch even today. My favorite is how Tuck changes Putter's face so he resembles The Cowboy (Robert Picardo), an ally of Scrimshaw's. It's very funny to watch.The acting is also excellent. Quaid shows the charisma and cockiness that made him a box-office star from 1987-1994 and while he plays an irresponsible lout, you can't help but like him. Future wife Ryan sparkles with her bright and cherry screen presence and Short, the gifted physical comedian, offers surprising chemistry with both actors. A great supporting cast and lots of cameos abound as well.25 years later, the film is still an impressive piece of work. Certainly worth a viewing today.
