Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

LeonLouisRicci 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.

Tweekums Former US Navy pilot Lt. Tuck Pendleton is taking part in a ground breaking experiment. If all went according to plan he would get onto a pod that will be miniaturised to an almost microscopic size then injected into a rabbit… it does not go according to plan. A rival firm wants the technology and breaks into the lab just after the pod has been miniaturised and placed in a hypodermic syringe; they steal one of the chips required to return the pod to its correct size while a technician flees with the needle. He is chased down but before he is caught he injects it into hapless Jack Putter; a hypochondriac. Tuck pilots the pod through Jack and after connecting sensors to his optic nerve and ear can see what Jack sees and communicate with him. Once it becomes apparent to him what happened he must find a way to retrieve the chip before his air runs out. There is also the problem that the villains want to find him as the re-enlarging process needs the chip they stole and one in the pod; without this the technology would be of limited value.This film provides a fun blend of science fiction, comedy and action. The concept is fairly silly but that doesn't matter because it never takes itself too seriously. There are plenty of laughs from start to finish, and a decent amount of family friendly action. Dennis Quaid does a fine job as Lt Pendleton even though he spends most of the time just sat in his pod talking to Jack. Martin Short is a lot of fun as Jack; a character that develops nicely through the film from a rather wimpy hypochondriac to a far more self-assured man. Meg Ryan is likable as Tuck's girlfriend, who gets drawn into the adventure; the rest of the cast are pretty good too. The special effects for Tuck's journey through Jack's body are impressive and there are also some good stunts. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to anybody wanting so good family friendly action; there are one or two mildly crude jokes but I suspect they would go over the heads of younger viewers.

richspenc I like 80s movies like this that take me back to my youth growing up in the 80s. Martin Short as the clumsy hypochondriac who sees his doctor in a nervous wreck and is told he has to learn to relax. His over the top nervousness reminded me of Mel Brook's 70s film "High anxiety" where Mel acts in a similar way, like someone who just had 10 caffeinated cans of soda. Short, after telling his doctor about a freaky dream of him helping an arragant woman customer at the grocery store he works at and him first, somehow ringing up extreme prices for her items (I like how she says "that's a little pricey for shampoo, don't ya think?), and then, the lady pulling a small gun on him, with him then waking up in a panic. Only a short time later, it happens for real at the store exactly like in his dream, and then the gun part, turns out to be a lighter. It doesn't matter; Short, who was already a jangled mess, completely snaps at the store in front of everyone. At a lab nearby, scientists are setting up an experiment for Dennis Quaid to be miniaturized in a submarine and be injected into a rabbit. Quiad gets into a sub, the sub starts spinning incredibly fast, then shrinks to microscopic size, and then pushes off into a syringe. High tech criminals bust into the lab to try to take over, a scientist with the syringe with Quaid inside it flees to a mall, and accidentally injects the syringe with Quaid into Short, who was at the mall to book a relaxation vacation (sorry Short, change of plans). The scientist gets shot, with his last experience being a bunch of people in animal costumes standing over him, and funny animal noises forming into his last conscious few seconds while looking at the people in the animal costumes. That bizarre moment was something particularly of the 80s where other bizarre style 80s films like "Killer Klowns from outer space" provided similar moments. We then get our story of Quaid traveling through the inside of Short's body, with fairly convincing special effects, to hook gadgets from his craft up to the insides of his eyes and ears to be able to talk to short and to be able to see whatever Short sees. The next hour of the film revolves around Quaid's and Short's experience of the two of them talking to each other, Short meeting Quaids girlfriend Meg Ryan (she was so young and beautiful here)(Short to Meg: "Lydia, shut up and listen! " Quaid from inside : "wow, you said it good"), Short explaining to Quaid's lab partners what's happened (I like how Quaid on the inside says "you better help out you two faced sonofabitch!", and Short tells them "he says 'thank you'"), and then Quaid and Short going after the bad guys. I always liked the bad guy, who looks all serious and intimidating in his suit and shades, with the machanical hand who can shoot from his finger like a gun, totally freaking out a kid in the mall while doing it. I also like the scene where Short drinks some whiskey, Quaid catches it with a vile while sitting in Shorts throat and drinks some himself, and the two of them live it up for a few minutes dancing around intoxicated (Quaid: "let the good times roll"). I found quite funny the scene where Short turns on the TV and Quaid says "oh great, I'm inside a guy who likes game shows". And also funny when Shorts TV and the monitor inside Quads ship catches fire at the same time, and then hilarious the way Short jumps while holding the fire extinguisher when Quaid calls his name. I also liked the scene in the doctors waiting room with Quaid on the inside of Short talking to him and the other people in the waiting room thinking he's talking to them, one of them asking if he was all right and Short yelling "would I be in a doctors office if I was feeling all right!?" I also liked Short and Meg's kissing scene with Quaid temporarily transferring over to inside Meg's body and finding a certain surprise. They could've done with out the unessessary add- on of the cowboy. It crossed the time limit of the movie over into slightly too long.

AaronCapenBanner Science Fiction comedy from director Joe Dante about an experimental craft accidentally injected into grocery clerk Martin Short, and the various government factions that desperately try to recover it, while the pilot(played by Dennis Quaid) tries to contact Short, and convince him that he isn't just hearing voices. Meg Ryan plays the girlfriend, who tries to help them both.Some good model F/X and a fine cast cannot save this silly and contrived film that goes on far too long; being clearly inspired by "Fantastic Voyage", film has a great deal of action and imagination, but doesn't know when to quit.
