The Last Starfighter Movie Review
Рет қаралды 23,576
Күн бұрынVideo game movies are nothing new. I reviewed a few in fact. (Doom)
But I’m actually talking about movies where the story involves video games, rather than adapting a game into a story. It’s not always successful.
For every Tron, there’s a Lawnmower Man.
For every War Games is A Wizard.
Video games can be more than simple entertainment. They can help save the galaxy.
Got a quarter? This is The Last Starfighter.
Directed by
Nick Castle
Starring
Lance Guest
Dan O'Herlihy
Catherine Mary Stewart
Norman Snow

God, this reminds me of the time I got the high score of Frogger in the pizzeria near my house, and then ended up fighting aliens in an interstellar war. Really takes me back...

I can't understand how this guy has so little subscribers, it's absolutely ridiculously ridiculous. Honestly I remember watching this movie a couple of years ago, I had never heard of it until then and I watched it with my friends, I barely remember much of it but I do remember that I loved it, I'm glad this review came because I had almost forgotten about the movie until I saw this review and I'm glad I get to relive such fun and ridiculous experiences.

3:41 & 8:48 I LOST it! 😂😂😂 Dude, I still love this movie. It’s just so damn fun, and I remember how the CG BLEW me away. The effort the animators has to endure using _military supercomputers_ and draw EVERYTHING by hand, connecting all the polygons together for a 3D format after, then texture mapping, & lighting effects was no easy task. I love old school CG, it just has a charming feel to it like Stop Animation. Alex’s subtle but relatable “WTF” reactions always cracked me up, too. Beta was my favorite, though. I love that scene where he’s trying to woo Maggie when he unsuccessfully makes out with her by repeating what that jerk in the cowboy hat said to his slutty girlfriend, and Maggie’s reaction was priceless. 😂 Great review, Bee!

I actually watched this video a couple times back when I found the channel and started binging content, but I forgot to comment. I LOVED this movie as a kid, and I love that your channel covers this. The Last Starfighter, Round Thing, Splice, Starship Troopers... All these older, or otherwise more obscure, movies that I enjoy. And it's really cool to see that others enjoyed them too, and add on that the NewBee style narration and commentary just amps the whole experience to eleven and a half. All Glory to the Bee.

Centauri sounds like a slick salesman because the actor, Robert Preston, based his charactor off of the con man Harold Hill whom he played in The Music Man. A movie I also love!

If there's ever a sequel and Xur is in it, he'd be a fugitive from both the Star League and the KoDan Empire. Keep in mind the KoDan invested lots of valuable combat resources into that invasion, an invasion Xur no doubt assured the emperor was going to be a success. Instead, all those ships and pilots got blown up and Xur was the only one to get away in an escape pod. If he were to go back to the KoDan, he would be in the unenviable position of having to give accounts to the emperor as to why things didn't go according to plan. That doesn't typically end well.

The main theme reminds me of my childhood. Which is hilarious cause as a kid I may have only watched it a handful of times. I was actually kinda creeped out by it as a kid. But growing up I grew to appreciate it more and love it so much. Yeah it might be a Star Wars clone but it’s a damn good one for sure. I love Star Wars and Tron and this is almost like that beautiful in between forgotten gem.

In my opinion the best "video game movie" ever made is Edge of Tomorrow. Although it's not based on a game, it perfectly captures the feeling of trying over and over again until you get it right. It's one of my favorite sci fi movies.
