Review of Flight of the Navigator (1986) by Steven1981 — 20 May 2020
Flight of the Navigator is a family sci-fi adventure.. It's suitable for any age really, made in 1986 it's a film I grew up with and the basic story is time has skipped 8 years and the child in the movie who plays David Freeman (Joey Cramer) doesn't know until he finds his home invaded by other tenants and when he finds his real parents they look older and even his brother, Jeff is much older.
.. So David becomes a lab guinea pig in some terms by a bunch of scientists or Nasa or something and they are holding some flying saucer or alien ship in a hanger.... David receives contact from the ship, jumps on board and makes a journey to travel backwards in time by 8 years to be reunited with his parents.
... There are strange lifeforms on the ship but also a cute creature.... What I remember is the Feast ice cream David holds in the movie because that itself is testament to how oldskool this movie is and David Freeman once inside the spacecraft communicates with some computer being named Max .
.. Great movie that's never boring and the pace is good but also watch out for Sarah Jessica Parker and Veronica Cartwright as David's mother.
