Movie Review - The Last Starfighter: In 2009, Universal Studios released a 25th Anniversary Edition to one of my all time favorite movie, The Last Starfighter. Before the release of this edition I had been searching for several years for a DVD copy and when it finally was released I couldn&#39;t wait to buy it.<br/><br/>The Last Star Fighter stars Lance Guest as Alex Rogan. Alex lives in a trailer park with his mother and brother and has big dreams of one day of moving away to the big city. All the inhabitants of the trailer park look to Alex as a sort of live-in handyman as he is constantly asked to fix several of his neighbor&#39;s maintenance issues. After yet another frustrating day in which he sees his girlfriend, Maggie, leave for a day at the lake and not being able to join her he begins to play an arcade style video game. While playing the video game Maggie comes back from the lake and they argue about her staying all day and being driven home by another guy, after they hash out the argument Alex breaks the high score in front of all the neighbors at the trailer park.<br/><br/>When Alex&#39;s mom gets home he tells her about the video game. Unfortunately his mom has some bad news that was delivered to her instead of Alex. He runs off in frustration and ends up by the video game. A strange car arrives and the driver asks if Alex knows the person who broke the high score, to which he answers it was him. The driver, Centauri, asks Alex to get in the car and listen to an opportunity of a lifetime. Alex does and he is whisked away on an adventure.<br/><br/>Centauri takes Alex to Rylos, another planet, to join the Star League. Alex refuses the opportunity and wants to return home. Centauri reluctantly agrees to bring Alex back to Earth. When Alex arrives home he forgets that a Beta unit had been left behind to take Alex&#39;s place. Alex calls for Centauri to come and collect the Beta Alex. Alex is attacked by an alien bounty hunter and Centauri arrives in time to save both Alex and Beta Alex; however, Centauri is wounded.<br/><br/>Alex returns to Rylos with Centauri because he realizes that the enemies of Rylos will stop at nothing to kill him and to prevent that from happening and to protect his family he has to leave. When they arrive on Rylos Centauri dies of his wounds. Alex is again whisked away to begin his training, limited as it is. His navigator, Grigg, forces Alex into fighting the Ko-Dan Armada singlehandedly. Singlehandedly? This is because after Alex left to return to Earth the other Star Fighters were all killed in a surprise attack.<br/><br/>Alex succeeds in defeating the Ko-Dan Armada and secures the safety of Rylos, at least for the time being. But he can&#39;t help thinking about Maggie, who by now knows that the Alex she has been with lately is a replacement. Maggie witnesses Beta Alex sacrificing himself to save Maggie and Alex. Maggie decides it is time to tell Alex&#39;s mother what has been going on as best she can, but before she does the wind kicks up and interrupts her.<br/><br/>All of a sudden a spaceship arrives and it turns out to be Alex who is piloting it. Alex briefly explains to everyone what is going on and finally asks Maggie to come with him to Rylos where he has been asked to rebuild the Star League. Maggie at first refuses to go and leave her grandma, but decides she loves Alex too much to not go. <br/><br/>This movie was made in the early 1980&#39;s and released in 1984, so the graphics aren&#39;t like what we would see today. The story line is hokey and stereotypical, why not when a spaceship lands in a trailer park, but it is a fun little movie. I love it as much now as I did watching it growing up.
I saw this movie in the theatres back when I was 16, and my friends and I knew it was something special. The script was exciting, taut, and even lyrical, and the acting was a revelation.<br/><br/>If you go into a video store and search for hours, I guarantee you it won&#39;t be as good as this jem.
At once warmly earthbound and nobly starstruck, it should give receptive spectators a savory pick-me-up. [13 July 1984, p.E1]
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. The movie tie-in novel published by Berkley Publishing, an imprint of Penguin Books.
