Video game expert Alex Rogan finds himself transported to another planet after conquering The Last Starfighter video game only to find out it was just a test. He was recruited to join the team of best starfighters to defend their world from the attack.
This is the story of a video-gaming boy named Alex Rogan, who lives in a remote trailer court where his mother is manager and everyone is like a big extended family. Meanwhile, Alex becomes the top player of Starfighter, a stand-up arcade game where the player defends "the Frontier" from "Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada" in a space battle. After achieving his best score, he is approached by the game's inventor, Centauri. Stepping into Centauri's vehicle, he is seemingly doomed to stay at his trailer park home all in his life, he finds himself recruited as a gunner for an alien defense force when Centauri is a disguised alien who whisks him off to another planet.
THE LAST STARFIGHTER&#39;s got all the good stuff: video games, spaceships, aliens, dogfights, the classic story of becoming a hero . . . it&#39;s the kind of movie that, if you go willingly, takes you right back to being a kid. That&#39;s not easy to pull off because if the material is shrewd and calculated, you can see that stuff coming from a mile away. It&#39;s artificial. But we&#39;ve all felt stuck in nowheresville at one time in life, so we gamely join Alex on his journey into outer space. There&#39;s enough whimsy here to make it a fun ride. If that&#39;s not enough, he gets to actually be a starfighter and save planet Earth. <br/><br/>The movie&#39;s shamelessly corny, but Lance Guest sells it to the rest of us. And it&#39;s pretty cool to see heavier hitters Dan O&#39;Herlihy and Robert Preston (in a winking performance) have fun with it. The CGI, which could&#39;ve gone woefully awry, works here and harks back to TRON (man, that&#39;d be a killer double-bill). The Star Car is also a pretty bitchin&#39; ride, and I also wouldn&#39;t mind having that arcade cabinet. Also wouldn&#39;t mind making it up to Catherine Mary Stewart at Silver Lake. <br/><br/>8/10
Watching this movie turns me into a 9year old me. Looking to the stars to be the hero the galaxy needs! <br/><br/>So cheesy, so nostalgic soooooo good! I don&#39;t think I could recommend this to younger people (and expect them to like it) as the graphics don&#39;t hold up. Some of the acting is over the top and cheesy. The plot is thin. <br/><br/>This is a fun movie with some tense moments and some pretty good comedy. The acting from the main characters is what pulls the movie together and for me gives it that timeless quality. I don&#39;t doubt it helps that I saw this as a kid in the theatre and it holds a special place in my heart.
Though it is occasionally talky, and though its plot takes a while to crank up, The Last Starfighter, directed by Nick Castle, is more often than not good-humored, bent on action and even touching. [13 July 1984, p.C5]
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&amp;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 released as Solaris (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 released as Star 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 League as well as saving Earth and his own family and friends. Give Alex a reason to fight as a Starfighter. Grig was in the hanger working on the prototype of the advanced Gunstar which was to be Alex&#39;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, as Grig was only a navigator. In 2009, 25 years after the film&#39;s release, it was announced that there was to be a long-awaited sequel entitled &quot;Starfighter&quot; which was to take place 30 years after this film. The only original cast member rumored to be returning was Norman Snow as Xur. The sequel was shelved. However, given the current spate of revival shows and reboots, including Paramount&#39;s upcoming remake of Joe Dante&#39;s &#39;Explorers&#39;, it wouldn&#39;t come as a surprise if it made it to theaters.
