THE LAST STARFIGHTER
In 1984 the digital special effects used in this movie was ground breaking. Today it looks a bit dated but at the time it was considered state of the art and paved the way for the type of computer generated special effects we became used to. Besides that distinction there is really not much more to this film.
By now even the story has become over familiar: Boy (Lance Guest) and Girl (Catharine Mary Steward) falls in love; Boy gets transported to another galaxy where he defeats some alien villain; Boy returns to earth to fetch Girl so that they can live happily ever after somewhere in space. The acting, though, is good, especially that of late great Robert Preston (Victoria Victoria, How The West Was Won and many, many more) in his very last film roll.
This DVD is really only recommended for kids who enjoy playing video games wherein you can shoot at as many space enemies as possible. Subsequently I rated it at only 2 out of 5 stars for my collection.
