Disney's 1986 Flight of the Navigator combines a strong ensemble cast and classic '80s soundtrack with dazzling special effects for a high-flying sci-fi adventure. While searching for his little brother in the woods, 12-year-old David Freeman (Joey Cramer) falls down a ravine and is knocked unconscious. After what seems like minutes, he returns home, only to discover that eight years have passed since he was declared missing and presumed dead. Even more mystifying is that David hasn't aged, nor can he account for the time lapse. Meanwhile, NASA officials stumble upon a futuristic spacecraft and are determined to assess what David knows about it by locking him in a top-secret lab for scanning and testing. His only chance of escape is in the spacecraft manned by Max, a wisecracking robot. Cramer gives an earnest performance, which overcomes an imperfect script, while enough one-liners and imaginative animation will keep families engaged. Watch for Sarah Jessica Parker in one of her first film appearances. Rated PG for language. (Ages 6 and older) --Lynn Gibson

4 out of 5 stars Great family movie   November 17, 2008
Nanlee Gilliom (Ft. Myers, FL USA)
Flight of the Navigator is a story that would bring thrills to any young person who is interested in outer space, strange 'creatures' from other planets and trying their hand at actually flying a craft like the one in this movie. The time travel answers some questions about how 'stepping into the future' would affect you and your current family life. The story is entertaining for the entire family.


5 out of 5 stars It's a childhood favorite of mine   November 13, 2008
Eric S. Kim (Southern California)
I loved this film when I was a kid. And looking back on it, I can clearly see why. The concept of an ordinary kid being a navigator of a spaceship really became something unusual back then. And it's still a benchmark in children's sci-fi as of today. The scientific analysis of the connection between the kid and the spaceship didn't make sense to me back then, but now it's clear, and it's sort of creepy if you think about it. Paul Reubens as Max is a treat, and the supporting cast (especially Sarah Jessica Parker as McAdams) are attention-grabbing. The music is now corny compared to back then, but it's still quite catchy. All in all, it's an entertaining family film . . . that should get a better treatment on DVD!


5 out of 5 stars My Favorite Movie of All Time   November 3, 2008
Love the Oldies (New Hampshire)
I bought this movie for my son's 8th birthday. He loves it. This is my all time favorite Disney movie. A true classic in my opinion...


5 out of 5 stars Good Movie   September 15, 2008
J. Ennis (NC, USA)
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. When I saw it on Amazon, I had to buy it for my son. He loved it as well. Shipping was fast.


4 out of 5 stars pretty good 80's movie   July 30, 2008

This is one of those 80's movies I saw as a kid and recently decided to buy and watch it again. While it is defaintely dated, it has a good story, interesting characters and just the right touch of sci-fi. Acting is only so-so for most of the characters, but its still a pretty good movie and one the whole family can enjoy.
