The Last Starfighter (1984) | An Overlooked 80s Sci-Fi Gem?

The Last Starfighter (1984) takes us back to a time when arcade games, space battles, and big adventures ruled the screen! Directed by Nick Castle and starring Lance Guest, Robert Preston, and Catherine Mary Stewart, this 1980s sci-fi adventure follows Alex Rogan, a small-town teenager whose talent for an arcade game leads him into a real intergalactic conflict. In this review, I take a look at the story, characters, early computer-generated effects, and how the movie stacks up against the wave of sci-fi adventures that followed Star Wars. Is The Last Starfighter an overlooked 80s gem, or just another movie riding the Star Wars craze? Join me as I revisit another piece of 1980s cinema and give you my thoughts!
