"The Last Starfighter" takes a simple premise; what if a video game was real? What if everything you had been playing was a test for something real? This movie is basically the day dream of any typical 80's boy. A loser teenager who lives in a trailer park is recruited by aliens to head a starship in an important space battle. If you love the 80s like me, you've probably seen this movie. It's not as well known as other 80's sci-fi such as "Star Wars", but it isn't the most obscure. Still it seems somewhat forgotten. This is just a fun movie. I remember watching it at 2am many nights on TV growing up. The effects aren't horrible and the acting is above average. This is not a science fiction film that requires deep thought, but it is a well done film and very enjoyable.
