Teenager Alex Rogan lives and works in the trailer-park that his mother owns. His life consists of contemplating his rather bleak future, and waiting for word on his college loan application to arrive. One night all this changes forever. Alex possesses an extraordinary skill at video games, and when this skill attracts a space-travelling recruiter looking for pilots to protect the galaxy from outside forces, he suddenly finds himself on another planet in the middle of an inter-galactic war. It seems that his game-playing abilities are an invaluable military asset to the embattled "Star League of Planets."

    Fun for historical reasons

    By PeteG  Dec 13, 2009

    Pros: Groundbreaking CG from the Cray at Digital Productions

    Cons: Cheesy, thin characters

    I like this movie just for its place in CG history. Digital Productions used, what was at the time, a powerful Cray supercomputer to do the renderings. According to one source, the renderings were done at 2000x2560 per frame, an unheard of resolution... at a time when most computers could only do a couple colors at resolutions like 320x200. The story, plot and characters were not that great, but fun. Read more Less

    A fun Sc-Fi movie

    By Tony  May 6, 2004

    Pros: Pioneer of CGI

    Cons: not enough commentary

    First off, I remember going to see this movie as a kid. It was enjoyable and still is today. The DVD is great because it allows a showcase for this movie, which pioneered CGI. I remember reading that the speacial effects for the Last Starfighter were... done on the Macintosh. It is worth having for any sci-fi fan. A highly underrated movie that deserves more credit.
