They don't make them like this anymore...

This film is wonderful. I'll expand on it all, but that's the very first thing that needed to be said. The Navigator chronicles the journey of David (Joey Cramer), a 12 year old boy who falls down a ravine in 1978. He then wakes up to discover it's 1986, his parents no longer live where they did, his little brother is now his big brother, and he was listed as dead many years ago after he "disappeared". He has no knowledge or memory of where he's been, and when NASA get a hold of him and subject him to testing, his subconscious mind tells them he's been on a planet called Phaelon, which is hundreds of light years away... Meanwhile, NASA have discovered a spaceship which has crashed into a pylon.

When David finds out the bods at NASA aren't planning to let him go, the spaceship - Max - calls him telepathically, and they escape before going on a wonderful voyage. Luckily for us, they take us along for the ride. What follows is a funny, heart-warming story, filled with vintage 80s loveliness and a small dose of the Beach Boys thrown in for good measure. What's odd is even watching it now the effects are great. I expected them to look dreadful, not how I remembered them from my childhood, but they've aged incredibly well, and they've stood the test of time admirably. It's a fine and noble thing.

David gradually makes his way home, only to discover he's returned to his family in 1986, not in 1978, and he has a difficult decision to make. I don't want to give away the ending, but I will tell you, this film will make you ache for a time when the world was simpler, and kinder. There's no cynicism about this film, whatsoever. It's just innocent, genuine, lovely fun, and I wish they still made films like that.

This film is one of my favorite film I have not bought this product yet but intend to do so soon but I have seacrhed for the VHS version ever since it came out and finally found it but as most things are moving to DVD i am starting to rebuild my video collection but with one diffrence the flm etc. are now on DVD this film is one of the best from it's time it still works now like E.T. but no ailen exacatly to speak of.
We have goverment or NASA offical after the kid again and they are foiled again but that was the way of the films in the 80's.
If you want a good 80's film you would have search the farthest reaches ofthe universe to find one this film is good and ready to whisk you away on adventure the price is amazing so go for it.

I saw this film years ago, and it still stands up well. It's good to see a childrens film with quite a tough central premise. David's situation would be frightening for anyone, suddenly dislocated from all that is familiar and unable to explain any of it. The story holds no special surprises but is fun and has some very good lines. "Hey blimpo, too many twinkies?" Not PC but apt. You just need to know what a twinkie is. The special effects are simple but have stood the test of time. A good watch.
