Review of The Last Starfighter (1984) by Steve K — 07 Jul 2008
This video game turned alien war drama, with the earliest of CG effects ever, is Nick Castle's video game fantasy of what would be cool if Space Invaders was real. A boy game wizard is recruited into an alien battle for survival.
Cheesy fun and worth a rental. Tron-like appeal, certainly. Really for the Generstion X kids who were all young when they saw it. Gen Y kids might not get it. The wheezing alien just cracks you up.
