The Last Starfighter, made in 1984. I think it was one of the first Movies (like Tron) to use all Computer Generated Scenes of the Spaceships and the Battles in Space.
Another underrated Move, TRON II.
Disney’s Black Hole, not so much. It needs to disappear.
Agree on The Last Starfighter. It wasn’t cerebral but tying a videogame in as connected to a REAL space war was imaginative. And, it had HEART. There were goofy moments,sure,the bad guys for instance and some good guys. The traitor was overacted but the young lead was likeable. The moment he was leaving for good and his girlfriend decided,at the last moment, the music swells-it got me. Heart.
