A scientifically miniaturized marine unexpectedly finds himself floating around the body of a hypochondriac, and trying to outwit saboteurs who want the device that shrank him. Attempts by his colleagues to retrieve the little man - protected inside a tiny submersible - are hampered by the would-be thieves.

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.

''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...

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.

Most of "Innerspace" is derivative, with little invention of its own.

Watching Innerspace is like riding a familiar roller coaster: It's decent fun but the thrill is gone.

Noisy, witless and filled with unimpressive simulations of human tissue, Innerspace is a perfect example of small minds finding a suitable subject.

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

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.

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.

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.
