Amazon.co.uk Review
IInnerspace/I 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 IBack to the Future/I (1984) and from the same director, Joe Dante, IGremlins/I (1983). p IInnerspace/I offers Dante's usual mixture of comedy, exciting action and fantasy, the plot being a variation on IFantastic Voyage/I (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 IThe Incredible Shrinking Man/I (1! 957)). p BOn the DVD:/B IInnerspace/I 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.--IGary S. Dalkin/I

 Based on 'Fantastic Voyage' December 24, 2007
What a funny thrill ride this movie is! A man (Dennis Quaid) volunteers to be shrunk down to the size of a cell and injected into a rabbit. But terrorists are after this scientific breakthrough and by various hijinks he winds up being injected into the butt of a nervous grocery clerk, played by Martin Short. And that's just the beginning.br /br /Innerspace shows Dennis Quaid at his most winning, and Short at his funniest. And of course, there's a very young Meg Ryan as their love interest. The jokes resonate with both kids and adults, and unlike most action-adventure films, the plot here is never short of ideas. And the effects are pretty neat too: as we see Quaid's character wander within the human body, we feel as much amazement and wonder as he does. LOTS of movies attempt to put you in outer space and worlds far away, but I can't think of one that has made the creative attempt of exploring our inner space.
GREAT FUN November 14, 2007
What a great film. br /br /Miniaturise a submarine and inject it into a human body, complete with Dennis Quaid at the wheel.br /br /Clever storyline and clever effects as we travel through veins, major organs and eventually out an ear hole.br /br /Great fun for kids and adults alike.
an old favorite i'd nearly forgotten about January 9, 2006

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.
 Joe Dante's Fantastic Voyage July 21, 2002
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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. pThis 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... pQuaid, 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. brThe 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.pShort 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.pThe 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.pAs 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.pWhat 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!!
 Spielberg-like roller-coaster. November 19, 2000
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This film brings to mind the immortal remark of Harrison Ford in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" who, when asked what he was going to do next, replies "I dunno, I'm making this up as I go along." Whilst I have no doubt that the abrupt and witty plot twists were all carefully scripted and planned at the outset, the production techniques, and particulary the editing (or, indeed, the apparent lack of it), certainly give the viewer the impression of spontaneity and helps to add to the unpredictability and ultimate enjoyment. The playing, particularly in the lead parts, nicely complements the effect, such that we feel that the actors are as much in the dark as to the development of the story as we are. The casting, of course, helps here - Short, in possibly his funniest film role to date, has always seemed completely aloof of what's going on around him, and Ryan is at her cookiest. Quaid's character does have some influence on the plot but even this is reactionary to other happenings. pQuaid's performance is perhaps the most intriguing of them all as he manages to bring his charisma through despite the fact that he spends the largest part of his screen time strapped into the cockpit of the miniaturised pod which is injected into Short in a moment of emergency at the beginning of the picture. This means that he is unable to bring a great degree of animation or action to his own performance. This, however, is overcome in two ways - firstly, by virtue of Quaid's ability to bring life and feeling to his character from his trapped position - and secondly, by his character's potential for controlling Short's bodily functions. For the most part, this is done for comic effect (similar in content to the Steve Martin/Loly Tomlin vehicle "All of Me"), but it is also done at times with pathos, in such a way as Short can be a substitute for Quaid, his thoughts, emotions and actions.pThe support playing, by comparison, is adequate (although it is always pleasing to see the legendary Kevin McCarthy, albeit here in a rather self-effacing role), but the films succeeds as a result of the interaction of its comedy, its special effects and its apparent spontaneity, all pulled together by director Dante in a typically Spielberg-like roller-coaster way.
