Review of Earth Star Voyager (1988) by Jeffrey J — 23 Jul 2009

This is probably the first movie/pilot for a TV Series that helped inspire and influence me to a large majority of my interests and dreams. Without having seen this, I'd have no idea what exactly I'd be interested in at this time.

Now the massively high rating isn't due to a superior film here, its more of the influence it had over my entire life. To be honest, ESV is a good story, played by adequate, and sometimes very good child and adult actors but in reality should get four stars. Its nearly one of the rarest movies to track down, but absolutely worth it when obtained.

ESV poses many problems and challenges we face today, one being the damage we're all causing to our Earth's ecosystem. It poses a solution (though be it more fantastical one at this moment) to such a problem and proves a lot of things. Childhood actors/actresses can indeed be a force to be reckoned with.
