Life After the Navigator (2020)
A beautifully crafted documentary about Joey Cramer, his tumultuous life and recovery, juxtaposed to the movie and its making.
I purchased the Blu ray of this documentary by Lisa Downs, after discovering her truly excellent "Life After" YouTube channel, and becoming a subscriber. I was, like so many people, deeply affected by Flight of the Navigator growing up, a movie that mixes the wonderment of science fiction seamlessly, with the heartwarming story of family. I recall wondering what became of Joey after revisiting this movie as an adult, as his performance for someone so young was so very, very good. To carry the leading role in such a large production, at such a young age, left me wondering where this young man's carrer had gone? He should've been a huge movie star... surely?
Seeing Joeys story on this documentary brought both laugh out loud moments, and absolute tears of utter sorrow, together with the sheer enjoyment at seeing an indepth comprehensive behind the scenes making of "Flight of the Navigator".
This is a must buy for any fan Joey and of this movie, to witness the truly inspirational telling of Joeys life story this far, by the man himself, and expertly crafted by Lisa & Ash. I can't sing it's praises high enough, or thank Lisa and Ash for making it so perfectly.
Lisa even included a personal handwritten note with my blu ray copy, and signed it's cover for me.. I shall treasure it.. forever!
Thank you for such epic "Compliance" Life After Movies.. you're amazing!
