Customer Ratings & Reviews

'The Last Starfighter' ('84) is an age and era defining classic. Possibly the zenith of post-Star Wars sci-fi before the decade began moving away from this kind of sincere, fantasy adventure. I adore every aspect of this film from the early '80s setting, the thrill of cabinet arcade games, the "call to adventure," Catherine Mary Stewart in pig tails, robot clones, intergalactic bounty hunters, Craig Safan's powerhouse film score, to the cutting edge early CGI. It's all awesome to me! Arrow Video does it again by releasing this definitive 4k transfer of director Nick Castles classic film. The video quality is incredible with great shadow contrast, rich detail and a warm cinematic feel with film grain intact. The audio is fantastic with three options (5.1, 4.1 and original 2.0). Plus packed with several special features and gorgeous new packaging. For any true fan of this movie this release from Arrow is a must have. No question. This is the best the film has ever looked. Highly recommended!

Another classic film that was one of the early examples of CGI effects. When they do use them it is impressive for that time decades ago. It just has that video game feel to it. It gets exciting and just gives you that feeling that anyone could be the lead in this film since the the premise is so surprising and cool. Arrow finally has given it the proper restoration and you get a huge set of bonus features. Video and audio are both very good.

The rating really is solely for the 4K remaster that this 80’s Sci-Fi classic gets from the amazing team at Arrow. The special features are mostly ported over from previous releases with a couple new ones in the mix. Pick it up if you were a fan of this movie

Very happy and excited to pick up this film restored by ARROW. Love the artwork of the slip cover. One of my favorite films and can't wait to give the disc a spin!!

Arrow does it again! Not only is the remastering of the video and audio elements create the absolute best viewing experience of this 80’s classic, but the special features and behind the scenes making of elements make this a MUST-OWN for any true fan of sci-fi or 80’s movies.

Loves this movie when I was younger and love it still.

Worth the upgrade from the standard blu ray. Great art , packaging and special features. The best of the 80s Sci Fi.

The best movie a man could have..... Stars stars and more stars......oh yea and some bad guys. It’s a dream come true

I loved this as a kid and still found this great as an adult. I watched one of the special features which was pretty good.

Fun 80’s sci fi. From Director Nick Castle, Major Payne and Dennis the Menace.

Great upgrade of the barely bare-bones original release.

Great effects for the 80s and an upbeat and sometimes funny flick.

Had this in VHS when it first came out. Was so glad to see it on DVD. A classic movie about video gaming as it used to be with a great twist.

Early sci-fi with what we thought was cutting edge graphics back then. Still guy leaves girl, guy saves cosmos, guy still gets girl. Corny now but cute back then.

One of the early good CG sci fi films. The blu ray is ok, better than the DVD release but could use a full restoration. This movie SHOULD be remade as it's a cult classic.

I watched this movie when i was a kid. Brought back memorys of going to the arcades.

Great movie on a better format, might not be appropriate for those over 90.

This is a great older movie that deserves it's place in the Blu-ray format.

The first movie ever to use CGI! For that reason alone it's a classic!

its a great classic, a must own for movie fans. If you grew up with 70s and 80s sci fi, you will love it.
