Review of The Last Starfighter (1984) by Ian R — 11 May 2012
Pretty dire kids action film that boasted some of the earliest fully computer rendered scenes in a movie (those scenes look horribly flat and lacking detail compared to practical effects shots of the day).
The plot is total kid fantasy stuff where playing a computer game actually means something and will take you far in life. Nostalgia will give people a favorable review but for those, like me, who missed it at the time it is decidedly underwhelming.
