Movie Reviews of Flight of the Navigator
Movie Review: A Lost Disney Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those movies where you finish watching it and think, "Why in the world wasn't this more popular?" The basic plotline is this: David Freeman, a typical 12-year-old from 1978, is rendered unconcious in an accident. When he wakes up, he finds that he has somehow been transported to 1986 without aging at all. A spaceship who's mission is to study different races throughout the universe turns out to be the culprit, and the two embark on a journey to get David home.
The movie is charming and funny, with knock-your-socks-off music provided by Alan Silvestri. It's a film for fans of Disney and/or the '80s. It's been a family favorite for us for as long as I can remember. Only caution: almost every swear word in the book is used once in the movie. I realize that doesn't faze most people nowadays, but I still feel obligated to mention it.
The fact that Disney plans to remake this is sacreligious. I vote we all boycott it when it comes out and instead demand a re-release of the original. This is a hidden gem that everyone should have in their movie collection.
Movie Review: An underrated classic on DVD for the first time!
Summary: 5 Stars
Young David Freeman ( played by Joey Cramer) was living in 1978 then suddenly when he gets a fall, he wakes up 10 years later still fresh and young to find out he's in 1986. He also discovers a knowledge of the farhest reaches of outer space, he is taken in by NASA to be studied for his strange powers. He finds an usual spacecraft from space in NASA then escapes into it to go anywhere he wants to and makes friends with a robot named " Max" and sees some strange space critters.
An underrated gem that is a well made if complicated sci-fi fantasy adventure movie that is bright, interesting, exciting, and has great qualities. Paul " Pee-Wee Herman" Reubens provides the voice of the sassy "Max", the special effects for it's day are quite good in comparison to today's CGI effects and contains an early appearence by Sarah Jessica Rabbit, it's a must See.
The DVD is clear as crystal with great sound but no extras at all, well that's alright cause this movie is finally on DVD.
Movie Review: A must see for children from 5 to 90
Summary: 5 Stars
When our family first saw this movie,it set up a lot off long didcussions at the dinner table,about what such an event would be like for our sons,and us,of course as parents we could see the down side to having our sons kidnapped and not brought back for eight years! You have to hand it to the younger generation they only saw the adventure and I have to admit their enthusiasum really over came our reservations! I'ts a great movie to be watched with the family(in case there are any questions)and then just turn them loose to watch it when they want,let them have there dreams that allow them to reach out much further in life and accomplish anything (if) they want it bad enough! I know I didn't give away the plot, but in this case I know first hand that telling the plot to a child will only ruin it for them! They will thank you more for the suprises! I can say this from years of raising our children and now I'm buying it for my Grandchildren. Thank you very much for rereleasing it! Thank you.Movie Review: See You Later, Navigator
Summary: 5 Stars
While meeting his brother in the woods in 1978, David Freeman falls down a ravine. He gets up to discover that it's suddenly 1986. Where has he been for the last 8 years? Meanwhile, NASA has found a space ship. Is there a connection? Can they find a way into the ship? And who keeps calling David inside his mind?
I loved this movie as a kid. While the first part seems slow and rather obvious if you've heard of the premise, the second part is a fun ride. Once David meets up with Max, things pick up and the movie switch from mystery to comedy. Watching it today, I was impressed by the special effects. This movie is almost 20 years old and they still hold up very well.
This is basically a movie only DVD release. The film is presented in wide screen and surround sound. But for the price, you're getting a great deal.
While not great cinema, this is a movie that the entire family will have fun watching together. Get it today and enjoy.
Movie Review: Compliance. A great movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This sci-fi film is a classic eighties movie filled with humour, drama and adventure from start to finish. This is a must see for all ages! The part where the Beach Boys 'I Get Around' is a funny moment.I already have both the UK region 2 Version (widescreen 16.9) and the S. American region 1 Version (Full Screen 4.3) both officially released in these territories already. It's nice that US customers can now enjoy this terrific movie. Though the Region 1 version I have includes the Theatrical trailer as well as other extras. I hope there is a choice between full screen/widescreen options because this movie was filmed in full frame and cropped/matted for theaters/cinemas. So if you are used to the Vhs/tv broadcast versions this is the full screen original print. And will be losing picture from top and bottom for the widescreen release on DVD.
Let's hope this US version has loads of extras like audio commentary, featurette etc.
