Back in the 80s, the use of models and practical effects were common. This must have been a challenge for directors attempting to make it as realistic as possible in a time before CGI. For most part, they did a very good job with 'The Last Starfighter'.
The effects are obviously dated by today's standards and the new generation might not appreciate the film, or even find the effects laughable. If you can transport yourself back around four decades, you'd understand how great this must have looked back then. The film also has great costumes and make-up.
This is an interesting action adventure fantasy to pass the time on a lazy Sunday afternoon. It also weaves humor and romance into the action and fantasy, making it a good choice for a family movie. It wasn't fantastic, but it was entertaining enough.
