Flight of the Navigator

Pros: Very light entertainment with enough humour to make it watchable for adults...
Cons: ... nothing more than that, looks a bit dated...

Flight of the Navigator is a fun little family film that’s best for children (probably boys slightly more so) aged around 8-12, but isn’t too painful for adults to watch either. It features a 12 year-old boy (David Freeman – played by ...

Pros: Suspenseful buildup, excellent special effects
Cons: Loses some mystery partway through

If you are like me, then you likely feel a lot of nostalgia for the films you grew up with. When I was growing up, some films that were very much a part of my childhood included "E.T.: the Extra-terrestrial", "Star Wars", "The Wizard of Oz", "Snow White...

Pros: Great Movie, Funny, Interesting Story, Howard Hesseman
Cons: Canadians, Beach Boys

My wife and I just watched "The Flight of the Navigator," which was one of my favorite movies when I was a young buck. She had never seen it before, and is known for rolling her eyes, with regards to any movie that I enjoy. I always thought ...

Pros: Imaginative, Upbeat, Sarah Jessica Parker
Cons: Slightly contrived plot, Minor continuity errors

I have always thought that Flight of the Navigator was a great movie. It is an entertaining adventure / science fiction that your whole family can and should watch together. This movie isn't exactly spectacular, but it's good, clean, wholesome...

Pros: Excellent for entire family
Cons: none

Flight of the Alligator...as my Grandson calls it.

Flight of the Navigator was filmed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1986. The movie stars Joey Cramer, Paul Reubens, Veronica Cartwright, Sarah Jessica Parker, Howard Hesseman, Matt Adler and...

Pros: inexpensive family fun, picture clear, stereo sound clear, excellent storyline, great cast
Cons: film only, no extras, picture not restored before transfer, not surround sound

Flight of the Navigator is one of those rare breaths of fresh air you get when a movie studio actually comes up with something original that appeals to all ages. Surprisingly, this offering is from Walt Disney Studios, but it is their least formulaic ...

Pros: Fun for all ages.
Cons: Low quality movie.

This fun movie has the makings of a great movie. The main thing that holds it back is the low quality special effects. Being a mid-eighties movie, I don't expect much in the way of cgi, or high tech images, but something a little bit better. The plot...

Pros: Enjoyable the whole way through, special effects, storyline, Max
Cons: None that I can think of

I had first seen this movie when it was released on VHS back in 1986-87 when I was 10 years old and I now own it on DVD. The special effects were very ahead of its time back in its day (especially with the ship transforming to different designs). It ...

Pros: excellent acting, great story, and fun all the way through
Cons: none

OK, this is my second try on this review. Let's see if I can do better this time around.

12-year-old David Freeman (Joey Cramer) wishes he had another life besides the one he has now in 1978 Fort Lauderdale. His 8-year-old brother Jeff (Albie...

Pros: original, funny
Cons: not exactly the best plot or acting

This movie was produced in 1986 and that is when I first saw it. My brother and I begged our parents to go out and buy it as soon as possible. Finally they gave into to our rantings and purchased it, mainly to make us shut up. Ever since then my...

Pros: Nice pace with lots of ups and downs in good form.
Cons: The affects are as old as the movie.

As a kid I loved this movie. I fell for the creatures, cried for the hero, and wanted to beat the brother. I can still recall lines from the movie though it's been years since I've seen it.

The movie starts and ends in the past but doesn't...
