Review of Starman (1984) by Chris W — 30 Jul 2011
Nothing much thought provoking or refreshingly innovative, in this mix of sci-fi / road trip/ romance flick. Jeff Bridges delivered an intriguing performance as the "alien-in-distress", though most of the times he kept reminding of a futuristic cyborg than a hyper-intelligent alien.
Anyway I do love that 80's sci-fi approach to the movie. Rather than making it a special effects spectacle, it gives more attention to the emotions and development of the characters. A fairly decent chemistry between Bridges and Karen Allen make up for many glitches in the script and story.
