- This is the story of a video-gaming boy named Alex Rogan, who lives in a remote trailer court where his mother is manager and everyone is like a big extended family. Meanwhile, Alex becomes the top player of Starfighter, a stand-up arcade game where the player defends "the Frontier" from "Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada" in a space battle. After achieving his best score, he is approached by the game's inventor, Centauri. Stepping into Centauri's vehicle, he is seemingly doomed to stay at his trailer park home all in his life, he finds himself recruited as a gunner for an alien defense force when Centauri is a disguised alien who whisks him off to another planet.
- 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.
- From the first orchestral figure with it's screensaver-esquire star background of this film you can determine this film is attempting to copy Star Wars. Not just in terms of story and visuals but also with it's characters, costume design and even it's lucrative corporate tie-ins (Atari game available!). However due to it's lower budget and considerably less expansive film environment the film fails somewhat miserably in comparison to it's bigger brother.<br/><br/>Newer viewers will probably find greater enjoyment from it;s kitsch value. 80s hairstyles, ridiculous arcade games and and special effects that look like they were designed by a dog on MS Paint are in spades. To be honest it's probably worth watching the film just to see a 'supercomputer' receive a production credit.<br/><br/>There is a small sugary coating to this otherwise bland offering. A glut of supporting characters, who on a handful of occasions are genuinely entertaining, round out the film surpprisingly coherently<br/><br/>All in all a film more enjoyable than initially suspected
- The opening credits of The Last Starfighter leave trails of light in a background of stars. As I was watching it, I couldn't shake the fact that it reminded me of the opening for Superman. And even the theme music sounds like it was composed by John Williams. I don't mean any of this to sound like a criticism, but you might be forgiven for thinking TLS is more than a tad derivative.<br/><br/>And when the plot is a boy whisked away to the stars to fight against an oppressive empire out to conquer the galaxy, Star Wars will definitely be the next film to cross your mind. But The Last Starfighter is not a carbon copy, but rather puts an ingenious twist on the same scenario.<br/><br/>The boy in question, Alex Rogan (Lance Guest) is an avid video gamer. He is a young man who dreams of moving away from the trailer park he seems stuck in, and gets frustrated at every turn. One night, he breaks the top score on his favourite arcade game, Starfighter. And when he does, a man called Centauri (Robert Preston) arrives in a flying car, takes Alex into space, and drafts him into the Star League as a Starfighter pilot.<br/><br/>The Last Starfighter is not the ripoff of Star Wars it easily seems to be. The whole video game angle is what gives it whole new dimensions. Alex's time as a Starfighter is almost treated like one gigantic video game.<br/><br/>TLS was one of the first films to use wholly computer generated imagery, and the technology has allowed the filmmakers to create fleets of ships in perfect clarity. Maybe a little too perfect. When I watch the film, I can tell that a lot of the ships being created are nothing more than something dreamt up on a computer. They look too crystallised. But maybe that's the point. Since the film is grounded in the surroundings of a video game, what we see resembles one. And it has to be said, some of the space battles are quite dazzling on the eyes.<br/><br/>The film is pure wish-fulfilment fantasy. But I thought the idea of arcade machines being placed on Earth by aliens as testing devices for potential Starfighter recruits was rather clever, and its the ingenuity of this conceit that allows TLS to entertain as strongly as it does.<br/><br/>Directed by Nick Castle, he is a filmmaker who never really went on to a rich film career. Aside from this film and his next one, the underrated The Boy Who Could Fly, none of his other films are particularly memorable. But with this one, he shows a lightness of touch and a real dexterity when it comes to narrative structure. Something he would repeat with TBWCF.<br/><br/>A lot of the characterisations are warm and believable (except for the whole trailer park being video game addicts). Lance Guest is OK in the part of Alex, even if he doesn't really stand out. He pulls double-duty as Beta-Alex, a robot meant to take his place on Earth while Alex is out saving the galaxy. And he's far funnier in this role. Misunderstanding the human culture, and he doesn't like it when Alex's girlfriend puts her tongue in his ear. Shocking!<br/><br/>More successful are the supporting cast in space. Robert Preston brings a likable affability to Centauri, and drives a car that looks suspiciously like the time machine from Back to the Future (But since TLS was made first, did BTTF rip off that idea? It's an intriguing notion to consider!). His character arc didn't need a return from the dead cliché though.<br/><br/>But the star performer of the whole film is Dan O'Herlihy as Grig, Alex's co-pilot who shows him the ropes. He's an intensely likable character, and although buried in makeup, his voice alone allows his endearing personality to shine through warm and bright. Alex and Grig are amusing together, and one wishes the film were built up more around their friendship.<br/><br/>The Last Starfighter is played more or less tongue in cheek, which prevents things from getting too silly. And although I wasn't always convinced that Alex beats such insurmountable odds, it's much too enjoyable a film to be discarded. Castle's direction is slick and engaging. There are plenty of space dogfights to enjoy. And there's quite a wide variety of special effects, makeup work and impressive set designs to feast upon.<br/><br/>An overlooked film well worthy of reappraisal.
- Though it is occasionally talky, and though its plot takes a while to crank up, The Last Starfighter, directed by Nick Castle, is more often than not good-humored, bent on action and even touching. [13 July 1984, p.C5]
- 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 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'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'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 Snow as Xur. 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 come as a surprise if it made it to theaters. The movie tie-in novel published by Berkley Publishing, an imprint of Penguin Books. a5c7b9f00b
