Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): Just isn't very good . I'm a big fan of Joe Dante and I love Martin Short, but 'Innerspace' is just too high on concept and low on just about everything else. You know the tendency for even many great comedies to somehow "require" a villian sub-plot? Well 'Innerspace' not only falls victim to that, but the "on the chase from the bad guy" scenario propels the film. I guess you could call it "adventure", but there's nothing interesting or exciting about it. Short does what he can here and there, but most of it feels like made-for-TV filler material... honestly.     I don't know... Dante is a creative genius, but this is his most lacking IMO. Sure, this is one flick that has brilliant special effects and doesn't ever overplay them, but you almost wish they'd had, because at least something interesting would be happening. 'Gremlins' and 'The 'burbs' had awesomely unique concepts but, by and large, maintained a degree of freshness around them for their running time; 'Innerspace' can't survive for any real length of time.     The concept of the film is great, no doubt, and the actual execution of the fundamental mental/physical relationship between Short and Quaid is pulled off with valor... which is strange, because it's the superficial aspects of the film that fall on their face. I guess that makes sense; Dante is an imaginative nut, and in the face of a drab script and story, he doesn't know what to do
