    5.0 out of 5 stars The 4K Edition Is The Ultimate Version
    Reviewed in Canada on June 15, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    The Last Starfighter isn’t an innovative or particularly blockbuster SF movie of 80s cinema, but for a lot of Gen-Xers who were kids at the time, the idea that being good at video games allows a nobody from a trailer park to save the galaxy still holds a lot of nostalgic value. The movie’s been available on various home video formats over the years, but as we move into the age of streaming, it’s quite possible this 4K limited edition from Arrow Video is the best the movie will ever look.

    The Last Starfighter had a rough entry into the HD era. The original Blu-Ray released by Universal back in 2009 was a pretty careless transfer, smearing out details with some aggressive digital noise reduction or DNR that made the image look waxy and unnatural in an attempt to get rid of film grain. Arrow did a proper HD restoration in 2020 that corrected this and was a much more respectful treatment of the film. In 2023, Arrow came back and did a 4K transfer with HDR, and the image, while a noticeable step up from its previous BD, is a huge step up from the older Universal transfers. Grain is present but stable and free from artifacts thanks to a high bitrate. Details are sharp, and while the 80s CG can’t look super clean and detailed, it’s still better than it ever was; it gets a big boost from the HDR, as does everything else, from nice, inky blacks to bright neon signs, and of course, video game interface screens. This is just a fantastic 4K/HDR restoration that brings viewers back to how they might have seen it on the big screen the very first time in the 80s.

    Audio also brings some nice surprises, although not if you already own the previous Arrow HD restoration. There’s no Dolby Atmos mix here, so home theater owners won’t get the full natural benefit in audio, though upmixing can take some of the sting out of that. However, the movie does include a lossless 5.1 mix, a 2.0 mix, and, perhaps most surprising of all, a 4.1 mix derived from 70 mm prints of the film that were reserved for premium movie theaters of the time. All the mixes are good, though none go the extra mile the way some 80s restorations have, such as the surprising Dolby Atmos audio for Dragon Slayer or even Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but what’s here kicks in the subwoofer at appropriate times and still utilizes surrounds when appropriate.

    For extras, fans are in for a treat. The same extras present in the previous Arrow BD limited edition are included here, and there are a ton. An informative booklet with essays about the film and its special effects, three audio commentaries, including the original first DVD commentary, and two new ones from the previous BD restoration, one with star Lance Guest and his son, and the second from a knowledgeable film fan podcast. There are interview features with other stars, SF novelists, and archival extras that were present in the past Universal disc, like documentaries. There are also image galleries and, of course, trailers. There’s a ton of extras here to make any fan happy.

    All in all, if you don’t yet own The Last Starfighter in 4K and want it in 4K, get this immediately; it’s a safe buy for you. If you own the previous Universal versions and you’re wondering whether it’s worth the upgrade, it totally is, and you should get this version. If you already own the previous Arrow BD restoration, there’s not a whole lot new here, but the 4K/HDR upgrade is still a noticeable step up from the BD, and if it will bug you that your 4K/HDR display isn’t getting used to full potential, then scratch that itch with this version.

    Really love this movie when I saw it in the theater in 1984. Wanted to experience it again and wasn't disappointed. Sure the special effects are very cheesey compared to the technology now, but it was good at the time.
    Great DVD from seller.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Robert Preston's Last Film Is a Gem!
    Reviewed in Canada on September 5, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    The Last Starfighter - the story of an everyday guy whose proficiency at the Starfighter video game gets him drafted into an interstellar war - is a lovely space opera that plays as well now as it did during its theatrical run.

    Lance Guest is great as Alex Rogan, a kid who lives in a trailer park with his mom and brother and helps with maintenance and minor repairs. He's got his heart set on going to college in the big city, but finds a greater destiny by beating a video game and being drafted into an interstellar war.

    Catherine Mary Stewart is the female lead in yet another cult classic (including Night of the Comet and The Apple) as Alex's girlfriend, Maggie.

    Besides the work of the young leads, The Last Starfighter features the final film performance of Robert Preston (The Music Man, Victor/Victoria) as, basically, an alien version of The Music Man's Harold Hill, a rascally fellow called Centauri - and he steals every scene he's in.

    The basic plot of The Last Starfighter is the familiar idea of a nobody from nowhere becoming a Chosen One and saving the day, but the space opera dressing and some sharp dialogue and groundbreaking VFX (this was the first film to do a lot of CGI - all of which had to be created from the ground up) made it a hit and, later, a cult classic.

    The Blu-ray is an excellent buy with a ton of great bonus material including an excellent commentary track.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Quality Blu-ray Upgrade of An 80's Sci-fi Cult Classic
    Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    If you were around in the 80's "The Last Starfighter" was one of those sci-fi hits that mesmerized a generation. It is a cult classic that was often times shown on cable TV during Thanksgiving and other holidays. This version of the film is a nice upgrade, visually, and really brings that nostalgia factor back hard.

    As far as plot goes it revolves around a young man stuck doing tasks for neighbors in a tight knit trailer park community. His only reprieve is time spent trying to get a highscore on an arcade cabinet, and the hopes that he will get accepted into a certain prestigious college. It turns out though that the arcade cabinet with which he wastes away time is an intergalactic recruiting tool for star fighters, and will soon shape his destiny. The young man in question ultimately meets the requirements by breaking the top score one night, and is met by an alien traveler who wastes no time in getting him suited up for the fight. Things fall apart quickly though as the young man is reluctant to take on the job, but eventually he answers his calling as the would be hero, and even nabs himself a girlfriend to take along for the ride.

    Un film che ho cercato e ricercato , quasi introvabile , manca la lingua italiana ma per dire la verità non lo trovo un difetto dato che preferisco la lingua originale ( att.ne i sottotitoli sono in inglese ), qualità video ottima ed effetti speciali ( vintage ) da film targato 1984.
    Film legato a ricordi di conseguenza per me , ora parzialmente adulto , è fantastico poterlo rivedere .
