Stepping into Centauri's vehicle, he is seemingly doomed to stay at his trailer park home all in his life, he finds himself recruiteda gunner for an alien defense force when Centauri is a disguised alien who whisks him off to another planet.
Actually I wasn't even going to write a comment on this one, a waste of words I felt, cause the grade here 6 point something proved my point. This is not a film believed to be great by a large number of people. But then I read the comments section and I saw about 2 to 4 negative comments out of 29 and I thought what the f (I'd rather not specify that thought any further). How can you like this film???? I mean when you are anything from 4 to 10 I might see why you liked it, by all means I LOVED E.T. when I was about that age and I liked The Neverending Story but later I had to change my views. They are kids moviesis this one. So here is a comment for all people exceeding that child - age.<br/><br/>You really can't like this one unless you are insane or really just a big child, because this flick really only has two good things in it, well 2 and a half. First of all there are some pretty good creatures here, they look pretty nice (some of them), like that Alien friend of the Last Starfighter and the evil guys. No not that ludicrous idiot with the bold head. What the hell are those guys supposed to be anyhow. Second of all I felt the rather short scenes with the beta unit were rather funny and third of all I thought the music was pretty good (although it reminded me of Indiana Jones (RIP - OFF???))<br/><br/>Well there certainly are major rip - off' s in this film, some of the creatures look like inspired by Star Wars, the clothes look like Battlestar Galactica, the fighting scenes look like (again) Star Wars and the music (well I already covered it and I'm not sure so I'll keep my mouth shut). Well that' s it actually. Now we come to the story, I'm looking for a word here eh..limp…loser…lame!!!! That' s it LAME. It really makes no sense at times, everyone dies, when the base is COMPLETELY destroyed (half of it is still there), except that Alien friend of the Last Starfighter. All that is left is one battle - ship, but its a PROTOTYPE (that's original) and the boy does not want to save the world. Well he wanted some adventure, but this seems to be not adventurous enough. Well for the rest this piece of crap has got special effects that are, how do I put it, constantly there. In other words I couldn't get it out of my mind, these are effects, that's not what happens, they are far from realistic. The space ship' s look like they have been ripped out of a computer game (an expensive one though) and the explosions are crap!!!, I could do better with a match and some firecrackers. Also I found the name for the beta unit rather imaginative, they are called simuloids, how did he come up with it, I mean, the robot simulates to be another being and from there to simuloids, MAN, that' s a long way. I'm probably a reviloid (as in review) or a commeloid (as in comment), I know it doesn't soundgoodsimuloid, but hey I only had a second to figure it out. I guess the writer must have taken days.<br/><br/>The cast is also merely so - so, so that is why we never saw one of these passable faces in a blockbuster you say, that' s right, producers probably thought the actors sucked ALSO!!!<br/><br/>Well this was not total crap but I would not watch it again, even if I had nothing else to do and was bored out of my mind. Still considering ita kid' s movie I have to admit I've seen poorer ones and if you're a kid you might like it:<br/><br/>I give it a mild 5 out of 10
I love THE LAST STARFIGHTER… it's a good, fun movie. A matinee type of film. It's notgreatStar Wars or some of the big budget movies of the time… (hmmm, where there any big budget Sci Fi movies other than Star Wars at the time?) The acting, though not great was charming. Lance Guest (brillantly playing Alex and the very naive Beta), Greg O'Herlihy (sp) playing the loveable Lizard creature Grig and of course…. Robert Prestonrascalous Centauri. And something that I forgot for a long time (until I saw it at a local store and had to buy it on DVD) was that this was one, if not THE, first movie to utilize CGI. Yeah, it's a far cry from what filmakers can do now with Apple Rendering software. But when I saw the movie in the Theater, I was impressed and thought that if Computer Graphics were this good in the this first movie… how much it will grow. It's a movie well worth having in your library. AndI'm watching it right now, I'm glad that I have it in mine.
Director Castle has studied his Spielberg well. While the movie may be composed of borrowed parts, it remains bouncy and good-natured throughout. Guest has charm and a deft comic touch, and Stewart is lovelyhis girl. [30 July 1984, p.80]
Yes and no.<br/><br/>The game in the movie was a mock-up. The game cabinet is shown, but the screens were just computer-animated. The cabinet had colored lights for that scene. At the time this movie was made, an arcade game with graphics like that was not possible. There were plans to release an arcade version with vector graphics like the Star Wars arcade game (http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=S&game_id=9773) but this never got beyond early stages and was never finished.<br/><br/>On the home front, there were plans to make an Atari 2600 version but that game was nothing like what is seen in the movie. The game was later renamed and releasedSolaris (http://www.mobygames.com/game/atari-2600/solaris_). There was a Last Starfighter game created for the Atari 5200 computer (http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=789) which was never released, and one for the Atari 400/800 which was renamed and releasedStar Raiders II. It was also ported to other systems of the time, like Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, and Amstrad CPC (http://www.mobygames.com/game/star-raiders-ii).<br/><br/>In 2006, a company called Rogue Synapse (www.roguesynapse.com) created a version of the game seen in the movie that is designed to run on Windows, and they provide plans for how to make a replica game cabinet. Centauri wanted his death to motivate Alex to fight Zur and the Ko-Dan armada. Give Alex a reason to help save Rylos and the Star Leaguewellsaving Earth and his own family and friends. Give Alex a reason to fighta Starfighter. Grig was in the hanger working on the prototype of the advanced Gunstar which was to be Alex's Gunstar, when the base was attacked and destroyed. When Alex and Centauri return to Rylos, they learn that all the Starfighters were massacred in the destruction of Star League Command. Since Alex was away on Earth, he was the only Starfighter left to stand against Xur,Grig was only a navigator. In 2009, 25 years after the film's release, it was announced that there was to be a long-awaited sequel entitled "Starfighter" which was to take place 30 years after this film. The only original cast member rumored to be returning was Norman SnowXur. The sequel was shelved. However, given the current spate of revival shows and reboots, including Paramount's upcoming remake of Joe Dante's 'Explorers', it wouldn't comea surprise if it made it to theaters. The movie tie-in novel published by Berkley Publishing, an imprint of Penguin Books.
