Not trying to piss on anyone’s party, but
…this sums up pretty well how it struck me at the time; although it wasn’t a waste of a movie ticket by any means, ‘unforgettable’ isn’t the word I’d use. I don’t have any particular hankering to watch it again… I think I saw it a second time 15-20 years ago.
But for some reason* I’m reminded of Enemy Mine (b-grade mid-80s SF connection?), which I would be interested to see again; IIRC that flick had something to say.
(IMDB rates The Last Starfighter 6.5 and Enemy Mine 6.7; less daylight between than EM deserves IIRC)
*heh - that reason would appear to be subliminal reading, now that I look at the next comment…
