The Last Starfighter Movie Review

The outer-space scenes in this warm-hearted adventure aren't nearly as interesting as the Starlight Starbright Trailer Court where the beginning is set. As a young man whose talent at video games turns him into the title character, Lance Guest is an engaging hero. The film is almost stolen by veteran character actors Robert Preston and Dan O'Herlihy, even though his face is completely hidden behind a lizard mask.

1984 (PG) 100m/C Lance Guest, Robert Preston, Barbara Bosson, Dan O'Herlihy, Catherine Mary Stewart, Cameron Dye, Kimberly Ross, Wil Wheaton, Norman Snow; D: Nick Castle; W: Jonathan Betuel. VHS, Beta, LV MCA
