Innerspace (1987) : First Time Watch & Review

Confession: We’ve been faking it… and INNERSPACE might be one of the weirdest movies we’ve ever ignored.

In this episode of Confessions of a Film Poser, we finally watch Joe Dante’s INNERSPACE (1987) for the very first time - and we were NOT prepared for how chaotic, hilarious, and genuinely creative this movie gets.

Produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment, INNERSPACE feels like somebody smashed together Fantastic Voyage, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, and a full-blown 80s action comedy… then injected it directly into Martin Short’s bloodstream.

What starts as a top-secret miniaturization experiment quickly spirals into corporate espionage, body-hopping insanity, and some of the wildest practical effects we’ve seen in years.

From Dennis Quaid operating at maximum 1980s energy to Martin Short having a complete nervous breakdown for two straight hours, we break down our raw first-time reaction, the moments that genuinely surprised us, and why this movie feels completely unlike anything Hollywood makes anymore.

Is INNERSPACE an overlooked sci-fi comedy masterpiece…
or just one of the strangest blockbuster movies of the 1980s?

If you’re into first-time movie reactions, cult classics, practical effects, weird Spielberg-era movies, and honest, unfiltered discussion - welcome to the Poser Movie Club.
