The Last Starfighter
I own this film on DVD. Here is the full description on the back of the box....
Millions of light-years ago, a great frontier was constructed in the universe to protect the Star League of Planets from its enemy, the evil KO-DAN. But now a defector has given the key to the frontier to the KO-DAN, and Starfighters from thoughout the galaxy are needed to defend the peace. One recruiter, the alien scalawag Centuri (Robert Preston), visits Earth to fill his quota of recruits and finds Alex (Lance Guest), an 18-year-old Earthling with an extraordinary talent for video game wizardry. Alex is quickly propelled into the regions of outer space to join others from planets throughout the Star League to fight a war to save the universe!
This film was made in 1984, and was way ahead of it...
Last Starfighter, The
Guest is the computer game whiz-kid who finds himself recruited by aliens when he hits the highest score on a video game. It seems he is the perfect human to help them pilot their spaceships.
Ridiculous, fast-paced fun with special effects that now look a little dated. But the sheer energy and cheekiness of it all ensure that this must rate as any teenage computer nerd's favourite film. Only in between playing the real thing, of course.
Last Starfighter, The
Boarder is the computer quarry whiz-kid who finds himself recruited at near aliens when he hits the highest retaliate on a video game. It seems he is the flawless human to pinch them pilot their spaceships. Hilarious, fast-paced fun with special effects that now look a little dated. But the filmy energy and cheekiness of it all protect that this obligated to anyhow as any teenage computer nerd's preference membrane. Only in between playing the real thing, of process.
Last Starfighter, The
A surprisingly delicious variation on the Star Wars boom, with sharp and piquant performances from two punctilious character actors and some elegant gadgetry to atone for the teenage mooning.
