What to Know

Critics Consensus

A manic, overstuffed blend of sci-fi, comedy, and romance, Innerspace nonetheless charms, thanks to Martin Short's fine performance and the insistent zaniness of the plot.

Densely inventive and consistently hilarious. Go to Full Review Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune 08/06/2020

''Innerspace'' is a classic example of a film that would achieve more if it tried less. But it still is an ambitious comedy made funny by Short's sweet performance... Go to Full Review Ian Nathan Empire Magazine 08/06/2020
4/5
It doesn't have the dark edge of Joe Dante's other works, but brilliant performances by Martin Short and Meg Ryan make it a joy from start to finish. Go to Full Review People Staff People Magazine 08/06/2020
Watching Innerspace is like riding a familiar roller coaster: It's decent fun but the thrill is gone. Go to Full Review Lawrence O'Toole Maclean's Magazine 08/06/2020
Noisy, witless and filled with unimpressive simulations of human tissue, Innerspace is a perfect example of small minds finding a suitable subject. Go to Full Review Ángel Luis Inurria El Pais (Spain) 06/15/2020
It's entertaining and pleasing. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 7 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 4 Funny in 1 hour and 59 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See more jacob c Apr 16 Though perhaps a little too muddled for its own good, Innerspace is still great fun as a sci-fi comedy adventure, with superb special effects. Not to mention, Martin Short is a hoot. See more Jacopo D @JacDan Mar 31 Molto ma molto bello, non me l'aspettavo See more Tyler N Feb 17 Standard made-for-profit Hollywood movie. Not genuine. Not my kind of thing. The 80s has such a fun and happy vibe associated with it but this will removed from my 80s movie list. See more Shaun R @Shaun666 Dec 20 This film takes me back to my childhood and it’s still an entertaining film now. There’s very few films like Innerspace and a lot of the effects still hold its own today. Martin Short is typically funny in his own sweet way and Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan both peaked at this time.
