Flight of the Navigator (1986)

Good film.

[18 March 2001]

I remember when I saw this film for the first time I was 8 or nine years old and I quite enjoyed it. I looked at it again yesterday and I taught that it did look a bit old but there is still a kind of nostalgia about it that make it charming. This is a real 80's film ,the music,the costumes,the special effects and the story make you think of the colorful day's were the gremlins were famous,Michael Jackson was black and E.T was the most popular film ever made and I do not complain about it,I love that kind of films. Talking about the 80's,you might think that film was a rip off of many films of the golden years(Because they were a lot of films about kids leaving a big adventure at the time like the goonies,the neverending story...)But it wasn't,the film is actually quite original. The great thing about this film is that the story is more interesting than many other kids film ,that means an adult can look at it without being bored. But I still recommend that film mostly to people who are real 80's fans.

best scene :When David see is aged parent,for him it's been four hours he did'nt see them(imagine how weird it must be.).

I also have to say that Sarah Jessica Parker is very cute in that film.
