Hello people's. Today I'm doing a blog on a movie. Here it goes.
On Friday me and Katie watched a movie called the Last Starfighter. This was a movie that Dad got us from Netflix. It is a sci if movie from 1984. The main character, Alex lives in a trailer park and loves to play a videogame called the Last Starfighter. After breaking the record he is recruited to be a Starfighter from the videogame to defend the universe.
Of course Alex was a little hesitant to risk his life defending the Galaxy and quit to go back to Earth.
(Spoilers)Another main part of the plot is Alex being replaced on Earth by a robot. The robot has multiple problems with Alex's girlfriend, his family, and his friends. When Alex comes back to Earth an Assassin tries to kill him until an alien arrives to help him. The alien, badly wounded takes Alex back to the space station.
Here he learns that the enemy has killed every Starfighter except him and he is now the last Starfighter. Grudgingly he goes with another alien to try to defeat the Alien forces. I liked the Last Starfighter but I didn't think it was very unique. I have heard a lot of stories about a boy who plays a videogame and ends up in the actual videogame story. I give it a 6/10.
Bye!

One of the first applications of CGI in a movie! It was a big deal, ya whippersnapper! Another interesting factoid: The novelization of the film was by Alan Dean Foster, because he used to churn those out by the truck load. Did a chunk of the Alien and Trek franchise novelizations as well.
