What a great movie. I was talking with our Creative Director about this flick. It's a pity this movie didn't get embraced by more people at the time. I'm definitely going to rent this for my kids.
This movie has aged unusually well. I adored The Last Starfighter as a kid, and wore out a VHS copy.
A few years ago, I rented the movie expecting little more than a nostalgia trip. But I was impressed by what a solid movie it was. Great cast, good writing.
I know. It's awesome. I think there's a reimagining in here somewhere. Not a deliberate Starfighter knockoff but something. Maybe with all the versus play, a movie where these kids from different companies beat this game and get recruited to save an alien race planet. Sort of like GOONIES meets LAST STARFIGHTER meets GALAXY QUEST.

I'll have to watch it again...
