The Last StarFighter

[BlackKnight]

I remember Loving this Flick When I was a Kid.
I just Picked up the 25th Anniversay DVD at Walmart Last night for 5 Bucks, for anyone Who is interested, I thought I'd pass it along.

That's freaky, just five minutes ago I told my kid that he needs to see that movie and was wondering where to get it cheap.

I was thinking about it for the last month or so ....
Then while shopping, like I do on Friday nights after work, ... There it was. Sorta a Weird thing.

It was on the 5 dollar Rack, not in the Digging Bins.
The Case is real neat, Silver and "Alien" Blue.

For how much we all hate CGI today, this movie is the grandaddy of them all.

My dad got the DVD/Blu-Ray pack last summer and he gave me the Blu-ray one. We then got into a discussion as to whether or not the movie was really "Blu-ray" worthy (SPOILER ALERT: it ain't!)


As for the CGI arguement...

I've done a fair bit of CG stuff and I have a deep appreciation for those who do it professionally, so I'm with BlackKnight on admiring a well done piece of computer animation.

Loved that movie when I was younger. For you techies, I think it was the first movie with CGI that used Gouraud shading.

[Rat King]

Yes this one was great! And kinda like a family film too...

I love this film. It pulls at your heart strings. They said they tried hard not to copy Star Wars and the end result really adds up. They made something a little different. The music score is also fantastic. There's very little that can compare to that Starfighter theme.

Hmmmm....

I didn't care for this one when I was a kid, but I can see why folks would like it. It's pretty lighthearted, has some weird aliens, spaceships.... I was more an "Alien" kind of kid though.
