I just loved this film as a kid, and to my delight it holds up quite well for what it is: extremely derivative yet well made eighties entertainment, and the special effects are pretty good for this time and budget.

I honestly can't be that objective about this movie, but if there's anyone else on the forum who liked this as a kid, now you too know you can watch it on YouTube. And if anyone else wants to watch an almost prototypical eighties scifi/adventure you haven't seen before, The Last Starfighter is worth checking out.
This one is a forgotten gem for me. I've seen it as a kid, I loved it but... it's been so long that I can't remember it. I'm definitely checking it out.
