I Saw This Movie And It Was Great The First Time

Therefor I am against this LAST STARFIGHTER reboot. It was the perect 80s movie with a spirit right out of the best of Speilberg. I also want and expect to see DEATH BLOSSOM or what the hell is the point? This why I hate remakes. You never remake the bad films to make them better, you remake the good films and make them worse (Robocop, Total Recall).


I am a huge fan of this film and I love that the original creator is involved. I also like the fact that the movie will be a sequel that will reboot the franchise. That's a much better route than just doing a straight-up reboot. Connecting it to the original film is the smart way to go.

The story of the original film centers on a video game expert named Alex Rogan who finds himself transported to another planet after conquering The Last Starfighter video game only to find out it was just a test. He was recruited to join the team of best starfighters to defend their world from the attack.

What do you think about Whitta developing a new Last Starfighter movie?

Loved the original. So telling that the premise has been repeated in recent movies involving drone pilots. Man, I hope they get this right. It could be huge or just fall by the wayside. I hope they get the original cast involved. Fingers crossed.

Hard to replicated that great arcade game feel. I worked at a cadet camp for three summers and the only sit down table game we had in our nco club was Galaga but I played the shit out of that game but nobody from space came for me.

I played Star Castle for about a year almost every day at a small arcade a few blocks from us. The nobody from space came for me too.

It's disturbing how Hollywood just lies to us and gets our hopes up. I was a master of the double ship too.
