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.

One of the funniest aspects of Innerspace is how elaborately over-plotted it is.

3/4

''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

Joe Dante's comic sci-fi /action romp still holds up as a crackling adventure bolstered by the odd-couple conversational chemistry of Dennis Quaid and Martin Short.

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.

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.
