Who knew video games actually come from space...
2 gift exchanges ago /u/Slayster hooked me up with a number of films. One of those films was The Last Starfighter. The movie is fun and enjoyable, definitely a popcorn flick. Nothing really original, especially considering it came out just a few years after Tron. The premise of the movie is a kid sets a high score on the Star Fighter video game so aliens recruit him to be a pilot. Sure the movie is full of all kinds of cheese but its all one of the first films to use CGI to such an extent... its pretty cheesy but still cool to see it done.
The acting isn't as bad as you would expect, its pretty enjoyable and its cool to see the early 80s special effects. You won't see this film topping anyone's top films list but its definitely entertaining.
Rating: 6/10
