12/20/17. This was an enjoyable throwback to a time when sci-fi movies were more fun than just all special effects. The comedic element made the movie enjoyable to watch. A riff off of Fantastic Voyage, Quaid is miniaturized and ends up in the body of Martin Short. Then there is a race to return him to his normal size before he runs out of oxygen. Enjoy the better days of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. Worth catching.

Director Joe Dante made many Films a lot Better than this. "The Howling" (1981), "Gremlins" (1984), ""Matinee" (1993), and, "Small Soldiers" (1998), just to mention a Few.

This "Spielberg" Production has got Money Behind it and on the Surface it is Slick. But the Scenes Inside "Innerspace" are Not So Great Considering. Although it did Take Home the Oscar.

The 1966 Film "Fantastic Voyage" that this one Spoofs has SFX that, Believe it or Not, Top this one, 20 Years Later.

The Stuff and Nonsense Outside the Body is Broad Slapstick and Surprisingly Lacking Insight and Wit from the Usually Funny Director and the Movie Feels like it is Struggling at times.. Dennis Quaid Overacts more than usual and Meg Ryan Isn't Bad, but can't Carry a Film like this.

Martin Short's Debut is Passable and has a Certain Warmth and Charm that Quaid and Ryan leave Off Screen somewhere and it is Short that Propels the Film along while others just along for the Ride, it seems.

It's a Fondly Remembered Movie from the 80' and is OK Family Fun, but is Overrated and Joe Dante Fans are Likely to be Let Down.

The 80s were wonderful to give us original screenplays in comparison to today sequels, prequels, reboot, revival, … The idea was simple : imagine a exciting situation and explain it with loose science : so we had time travel in a Delorean, ghost-busting, a world war using computers, a robot as cop, building a personal spacecraft, … Here the idea is an old one (to shrink human into a body) but the way it has been done makes the difference : the script and characters are really funny : indeed, it looks like a Warner cartoon, with a punch, electric eccentricity that nobody can't match better than Joe Dante : the casting is really appropriate to fit the situations and if sometimes, the tension goes down, take a look all around the frame, there is always something to make you laugh (example : i think this movie has the most implicit sex scene in all Spielberg production !)…
