Review of Flight of the Navigator (1986) by Sean P — 04 Jan 2014
Finally, a movie with a simple story! The story takes place in 1978 where 12-year-old David played by Joey Cramer, a kid who went nowhere runs into the woods and is knocked unconscious only to find out that he is now 8 years into the future and he has no memory of where he was or has no idea of his surroundings.
NASA officials determine that he has been abducted by aliens during his blackout which is why he has no recent memory or hasn't aged but they plan to scan his brain to unlock a few secrets of the universe.
David boards a spaceship and meets MAX played by Paul Reubens and knowing that he cannot cope anymore in the future, he shifts back to present day. What a good kids movie and quite an underrated one too.
I mean it does have good reviews but many people tend to forget its existence. Really check this one out since it ranks along the classic 1980s kids films such as E.T., The Goonies and Explorers. Flight Of The Navigator gets a solid 8/10.
