Avis sur le produitThe Last Starfighter (DVD, 1999, Collectors Edition)

The Last Starfighter DVD

The Last Starfighter is a neat little movie in which a boy plays a video game, scores big, and is recruited to defend the Star League. Today, the United States Military is presently recruiting in a very similar fashion. Recruitment centers, in many cities, have given way to Video Game arcades that involve young men and women and lead them to the military as a viable career option. Outstanding! And to think that it all started with an innocent little film like Last Starfighter. The film has a great cast, a simple story, with good versus evil, and a resolution of victory & love in the end. Similar to a Star Wars type story line - but without all of the hoopla and the never-ending saga. The story includes technology, coming of age, action adventure and romance. It has it all! It's neat, compact, and fun!Lire l'avis complet...

A great movie for generations!

This version of this movie is a classic. I understand they have a remake in the works to add some glitz or wow visual effects, but its grass-roots-to-glory story, its presentation (even in its now dated state), its raw imagination, and era cultural comedy (love those hairdos!) make it a movie well worth watching! The brilliant, imaginative ideas and adventures shared have inspired decades of writing and art in my own life, enrichment, and enjoyment, and I am now sharing them with my own children. Definitely in a class like Disney's early Tron, Flight of the Navigator, and the like!Lire l'avis complet...

Sci Fi ish, Good for the soul, Entertaining, and just a good clean movie!

For the longest time I didn't know who Dan O'Herlihy was until I surfed the internet and found his picture. I was referring to the Character Grig the Alien. The Starfighter animation seens were kind of corny a bit, but good for the time era. I think it was Robert Prestons last movie her made, not sure. Still loved the movie. I'll view it again and again. Oh, you can know that it was Dan O'Herlihy that starred in the movie sequel Robo Cop as the head of OCP.Lire l'avis complet...

The Last Starfighter

This is a great SCI- FI Movie from 1984. It stars (then) youngsters Lance Guest and Catherine Mary Stewart along with Robert Preston and a fantastically made up Dan O'Herlihy (plays a cool alien). This crew puts on well acted scenes along with special effects that rivaled Star Wars 3. It is a good story line well acted and supported. Clean enough for kids from 2 to 90 to enjoy. This is my second version of the move. The first is on VHS and sized down I was thrilled to find the Wide Screen DVD as the special effects overwhelmed the size of the old TV. I have watched it 2 times since I purchased it and keep finding new little nuances taking place in the sidelines. I highly recommend this to any and all Sci-Fi Fans!
Great addition to any video library.Lire l'avis complet...

The Last Star Fighter still plays well today

classic 80's film one of the first to use computer generated ships and space dated now (movie made in 1984) but still loads of fun for the story it tells

Alex Rogan (Lance Guest) lives in a trailer park and spends his days playing the Starfighter video game. never thinking he could escape the trailer park one night and the high score changes that. Upon meeting an alien (Robert Preston) who convinces him to use his skills in real combat, Rogan heads to space to protect the galaxy from invasion.

several of those in the movie will be seen or have been in several of the star trek shows such as Wil Wheaton who's speaking parts were cut but is still visable, Marc Alaimo, Dan Mason, Barbara Bosson, Norman Snow and Geoffrey Blake. But notable among them is Meg Wyllie "Granny Gordon" who stars in the first pilot of star trek 'the cage'

overall a fun enjoyable movie that offers up a wish upon a star so you will go farLire l'avis complet...

Last Starfighter - 1st movie w/heavy CGI

This movie isn't flashy, it isn't complicated, and it isn't technologically advanced by today's standards but considering this movie was made 25 years ago it should be appreciated for what is was at the time.

Give a kid a test via an arcade video game and watch him eventually deal with aliens and war on another world! I'm trying not to give any spoiler here but the good guys do win....

It's campy by today's standards (more in the make up and alien costuming than the CGI) but it's a quick, fun escape if you remember the mid-80s. And considering it was one of the first movies of it's time to move to a CGI special effects repetoire rather than using models and you'll see why it was a hit when it first came out. The DVD itself doesn't have a lot of special features but satisfies with some behind the scenes clips and a "making of" mini-documentary.Lire l'avis complet...

Memorable Movie

This is a movie that takes me back to, what I believe to be a better time! The
special effects might seem a little hokey to the younger generation, but to me, it is a reminder of a time when movies were a bit more entertaining in a more fundamental level.
These days, it seems that a sci-fi movie has to have such graphic effects, that it takes away from the entertainment of the actual story! It's all about
how fast and fantastic the graphics are. I prefer the the older sci-fi flicks!
I am a huge fan of the old Star Wars, more so then the 3 newer episodes. And Star Trek is still one of my favorite TV shows.
The Last Star Fighter is simply put, a good movie!Lire l'avis complet...

worth a look

Fun movie to watch, special effects are more video game quality, but this is an older movie
