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.
