This is one of the best Disney movies I've ever seen, I would never trade it for today's stuff (not even Disney's version of "Star Wars").
Many wonderful childhood memories are linked to "Flight of the Navigator", I think it was my first movie ever. Great way to get acquainted with American popular culture, by the way (I'm from Italy).
The plot is very original and well woven, both children and grown ups will be entertained. That was the time when NASA still rocked the house, I wanted that cap so badly... The special effects are believable, the spaceship looks real. I still find myself wondering how they pulled it off. It was 1986, after all. Music score by Alan Silvestri: I still listen to it today and it's as if time had never passed.
I'm thankful this title is available on DVD. A little gem, recommended.
