Alex Rogan lives in a trailer park with his mother Jane Rogan and his younger brother Louis. Alex is a handyman that helps his neighbors in small tasks. He is waiting for a loan so that he can attend university and move with his girlfriend Maggie Gordon to the city. However, Alex receives a letter informing that his request of loan has been denied. When Alex breaks the record of the Starfighter video game, he is visited by a man called Centauri that tells him that he works in the company that manufactures the game and invites him to a ride in his car. Soon Alex learns that Centauri's car is a spacecraft and the Starfighter game is actually a test to find skilled warriors to protect the Star League frontier against Xur and Kodan armada. Alex arrives in the planet Rylos but he refuses the invitation. Alex returns to his house and finds that he is hunted by alien agents sent by Xur to kill him. He summons Centauri and learns that all the starfighters have been murdered in a treacherous attack on the Rylos' base. Now, Alex and his partner Grig are the last chance to avoid the invasion of the cruel Xur.
The Last Starfighter was a wonderful story, filled with a number of surprises. The movie was also one of the first to use computer graphics to this extent, rendering the Star Car and many of the outer-space scenes.<br/><br/>The sets are well-constructed, the alien languages believable, and the action scenes will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat. Granted, it 's no "Terminator", but a good movie with a good plot that your entire family will enjoy.
I only have one real comment to makeit is a long time since I saw this film - another reviewer mentioned the 'pretty good pre-CG effects'. This is rather ironicthe notable thing about The Last Starfighter is that was the first film in which space/spaceship effects were generated on a computer rather than with models which was the industry standard at the time, paving the way for the spectacular CGI effects in todays science fiction blockbusters. At the time I was very impressed with the effects and didn't realise that they were CG.<br/><br/>The CGI starfighters themselves bore an uncanny resemblance to the later Starfury (I think) fighters in Babylon 5.<br/><br/>From what I remember, this was an enjoyable piece of family-oriented Sci-Fi family hokum.
Director Castle has studied his Spielberg well. While the movie may be composed of borrowed parts, it remains bouncy and good-natured throughout. Guest has charm and a deft comic touch, and Stewart is lovelyhis girl. [30 July 1984, p.80]
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&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 releasedSolaris (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 releasedStar 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 Leaguewellsaving Earth and his own family and friends. Give Alex a reason to fighta Starfighter. Grig was in the hanger working on the prototype of the advanced Gunstar which was to be Alex'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,Grig was only a navigator. In 2009, 25 years after the film's release, it was announced that there was to be a long-awaited sequel entitled "Starfighter" which was to take place 30 years after this film. The only original cast member rumored to be returning was Norman SnowXur. The sequel was shelved. However, given the current spate of revival shows and reboots, including Paramount's upcoming remake of Joe Dante's 'Explorers', it wouldn't comea surprise if it made it to theaters. The movie tie-in novel published by Berkley Publishing, an imprint of Penguin Books.
