REGION 1 BLOWS!
Review date: 2007-12-16 Rating: 10 out of 10
This is one on my list of many movies I enjoyed when I was a kid this movie is great for the whole family to enjoy though some bits are a bit freaky! Region 1? Why? this is totally unfair when this movie kicks ass and makes family films today (Family films? do they still make those or is it all gone Harry Potter?) look like cheapo pieces of crud. So many compare this to Star Wars but really its not, it is a great film in its own right with a great original story...nay sayers really need to watch this again. Buy this even if it means buying a region free player!

this HD DVD did not play in my toshiba HD-XE1 machine here in the UK - 'No Disc' error displayed. Was looking forward to rekindling my fond memories of this film. :-(
No Region 2?

Not having a Region 2 version is a travesty, this is a classic that set the trend using CGI on a Cray Supercomputer instead of plastic models.
I have just bought the Region 1, which plays on my PC. I am about to buy a Region Free DVD player just for this film!
A sci-fi film that the whole family can enjoy, cheesy but it doesn't take itself seriously and there are some great one-liners.
A forgotten gem crying out for Region 2 release.
Well worth the watch

I watched this movie some years ago. It was recorded for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is unbelievable but great fun to watch. Good sci-fi. Great for children and family.

In the tradition of "TRON" (1982), we have the classic challenge. This formula movie is a bit technically challenged due to being released in 1984. However this is one "rite of passage" tale that would have interested Joseph Campbell author of "The Hero with a Thousand Faces."
Alex Rogan is stuck in a small trailer community and dreams of being more. Due to a misplaced video game (a game? No a test) he gets the opportunity to save The Star League form Xur and the KO-DAN armada as the last starfighter.
Well selected actors including Robert Preston. Also Catharine Mary Stewart who has appeared in episodes of "The Outer Limits."
Can he do it? In the mean time who is looking out for his girl?
