The film talks about a widow (Karen Allen) who solely lives in a countryside cottage and embittered for his husband's death when suddenly crashes a craft appearing an alien that takes shape from him (Jeff Bridges). He brings a rare balls with possibility making prodigies . Starman abducts her but they fall in love and she'll help him to travel cross country for an encounter in Arizona State . They're pursued by a scientific (Charles Martin Smith) , authorities(Richard Jaeckel) and army .
It's a sensitive romance story where duo starring is splendid . The picture is an agreeable romantic tale with adventures , suspense , tension , comedy and results to be pretty entertaining . It's a feeling and agreeable motion picture , including a crossover between Love Story (Arthur Hiller) , ET (Spielberg) , Walt Disney's imagination and road movies . Jeff Bridges as the likable , naive , stranger but vulnerable Starman is top-notch . Karen Allen (recently successful with ¨Raiders of the lost Ark¨) is enticing and sensual . Jack Nietzche score is moving and touching , though with excessive use of synthesizer ,I miss symphonic music . Starman transformation is carried out by the three greatest artists on make-up : Dick Smith , Rick Baker and Stan Winston . The picture was very well directed by John Carpenter . Being the only John Carpenter film to have an Academy Award nomination , Jeff Bridges as Best Actor . The main reason for which Carpenter directed 'Starman' was that after the box-office disaster of The Thing (1982), he needed to make a movie that was the complete opposite of what 'The Thing' was so he could continue to work in Hollywood . The pic obtained important reception by the public and attained quite a few success at box office . Some years later , it was followed by a television series with Robert Hays as Starman . The yarn will appeal to science fiction and romantic cinema fans. Rating : Good and enjoyable.
