Amazon.co.uk Review
Innerspace is assured a place in the Hollywood history books as the movie which brought Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan together as one of cinema's most famous couples. The film itself belongs among a series of feelgood fantasies presented by Steven Spielberg in the 1980s, including Back to the Future (1984) and from the same director, Joe Dante, Gremlins (1983).

Innerspace offers Dante's usual mixture of comedy, exciting action and fantasy, the plot being a variation on Fantastic Voyage (1966). Test pilot Quaid is miniaturised and as a result of a bungled attempt to steal the new experimental technology, accidentally injected into the body of a deeply stressed and insecure Martin Short. Quaid is charismatic and commanding, Ryan gives an early demonstration of her patent romantic comedy persona, but it's Short's picture as he delivers a perfectly nuanced performance pitched between slapstick and paranoia. The Oscar-winning special effects enhance rather than dominate the story, which, though it gets a bit too silly in places, is generally inventive and sufficiently action packed to sustain the almost two-hour running time. Jerry Goldsmith's muscular score is a major asset, while in-joke spotters will have fun picking out everyone from Chuck Jones to William Schallert (the doctor in The Incredible Shrinking Man (1! 957)).

On the DVD: Innerspace on disc has a group commentary with director Joe Dante, producer Michael Finnell, visual effects supervisor Dennis Muren and actor Kevin McCarthy. This is engaging if far from riveting. The original trailer is anamorphically enhanced and there are two perfunctory pages listing cast, crew and the film's Oscar for special effects. The original Dolby Spectral soundtrack has been remixed into Dolby Digital 5.1 and is bold, clear and powerful. The picture is presented at 1.78:1 and is a virtually flawless transfer: colours are rich, detail levels are high and the only trace of grain is in a few particularly high contrast shots.--Gary S. Dalkin

4.0 out of 5 stars Joe Dante's Fantastic Voyage, 21 Jul 2002
An underrated gem of an action adventure movie, INNERSPACE is director Joe 'Gremlins' Dante's spin on 60's classic FANTASTIC VOYAGE, which saw a team of scientists shrunk to microscopic proportions and injected into a human body.

This time it's Dennis Quaid's turn to get miniaturised and injected (into a bunny this time round) for experimental purposes, except he doesn't quite get there...

Quaid, as test pilot Tuck Pendelton, is a great old-fashioned movie hero here, a cross between a young Jack Nicholson and Harrison Ford, and at this stage in his career it looked like that's where he was headed.
The real hero of the piece, however, is the inestimable Martin Short, who plays meek supermarket clerk Jack Putter, an absolute dweeb whose life is turned upside down by the accidental addition of Tuck into his bloodstream.

Short is physically and verbally hilarious as he goes through panic, confusion and eventually sheer heroism, spurred on by this 'alien' presence inside him. Plus there's Meg Ryan in a typically goofy 80's role for added fun.

The action never lets up and the effects are spectacular (and hey, no CGI in sight!) building to the (literally) breathless climax in Short's oesophagus (er, that didn't come out right), as Tuck does battle with another miniaturised craft set to destroy him.

As it's a Joe Dante film, it has all the director's trademarks; actors Robert Picardo (as the hysterical Cowboy; "Women love me"), Dick Miller (as a grumpy taxi driver), cartoonist Chuck Jones, Henry Gibson, plus the usual quota of film references, in-jokery and repeat-viewing-worthy gags (check out how many references there are to rabbits or Alice in Wonderland). Not to mention a cracking, heart-thumping score by Jerry Goldsmith, the John Williams to Dante's Spielberg.

What more could anyone ask? It's silly, it's fun, it really is a fantastic voyage. And on DVD, that picture and sound is going to be jugular-poundingly good. Relive the fun!!

5.0 out of 5 stars an old favorite i'd nearly forgotten about, 9 Jan 2006
By Robert W. F. Holmes (Spalding, Lincolnshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was one of my favourite films when i was younger, the whole story was brilliant from Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan's love story to the actual miniturisation project going awry. For me though the standout part has to be Martin Short's brilliant portrayal as the hypochondriac Jack Putter, who in my eyes is the films best character. The way he goes through the film is hilarious especially the scene in the doctor's office (I'm posessed!) But i think Quiad's charismatic role as Tuck Pendleton is good as well. The relationship that builds between Quaid and Short is central to the films hilarity and spot on timing. I dont think there is a boring moment in it to be honest. I didnt buy this film for the extras so it doesnt matter that there isnt that many. I just love the film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Childhood favourite, now an adult favourite!, 8 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Innerspace [VHS] [1987] (VHS Tape)
Damn I love this film, everything is so right about it, from the casting, right down to Jerry Goldsmith's spot on soundtrack, which complements every frame of the film. When I saw this movie as a kid, I loved it, probably for different reasons that I do now, but I still love it.The special effects haven't really aged a day since 1987, amd the science involved in the movie, now that I think about it, is sort of believeable.Joe Dante's direction is awesome, and I prefer this to his other well known films, such as Gremlins.Shame that this movie didn't do so well box office wise, because it is a gem.Seek it out and enjoy.I await the DVD with anticipation!
