Summary: Review - what else is there to say?
Review: I always enjoyed "Flight of The Navigator" when I was a kid, and ever since DVD technology was introduced I've been waiting for it to be released in that format.. but it never did, and still hasn't come out yet. I hope that it is released on DVD very soon; hopefully before my social security expires. However, unless my luck changes, it will never come out on DVD.

There's my "review", thanks.

Summary: The Black Lab is from Columbus Ohio
Review: The movie is great! My dog is the Black labrador, the one catching frisbee in the beginning of the movie. His name was Ben. He placed fifth in the world at the Gaines Frisbee Dog competition. He was hit by a car the next year. He was an amazing animal. This is the only footage we have of him.

Great movie!

Summary: The Best Family film of the 80's!
Review: I've seen this film on vhs, it was great. But on dvd, which I was waiting for a long time makes it the best. It's the perfect family film, the plot to me was actually enteresting for a 1986 disney film. I saw it in theaters, for the first time, and I really liked it. Paul Ruebens voices Max to me was really enjoyable. I've seen it at least 15-20 times but still, it's one of my favorites. I would recommend this to others. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 7.5

Summary: Reminiscent of the best of the Heinlein young adult novels..
Review: Flight of the Navigator is a far better movie than we'd have a right to suspect.

Plot spoiler if you read further:

A few minutes into this film, 12-year-old David Freeman (Joey Cramer) is on an
errand to retrieve his 8-year-old brother, Jeff, when he falls into a gulley and is
knocked out. Regaining consciousness, David returns to his house, thinking only a
few minutes have passed, and instead of his parents and brother finds a locked
door and an elderly couple living there.

Taken to the police station, David is identified by computer records as a boy
reported missing eight years before. Despite the fact that he hasn't aged, he's taken
to the Freeman's at a different house nearby, and when he sees his parents
obviously older, he faints. He returns to consciousness again on a gurney on his
way to a hospital bed. A few minutes later, while his parents are called out of the
room by a somber-faced doctor, David is left alone with his brother Jeff -- who is
now 16.

This is ostensibly a Disney movie for kids -- and later on there is a lot of comedic
Disney hijinks -- but the first half hour of the movie, as David and his family deal
with the trauma of his time relocation, are some of the most heart-rending and
chilling sequences I've seen in any film.

Spoiler over.

This movie reminded me of some of the time-relativity sequences in Robert A.
Heinlein's novel, Time for the Stars. The characters are well written and the actors
do an excellent job, particularly in the scenes between Joey Cramer and Matt
Adler, as 16-year-old Jeff. The distraught parents, Cliff de Young and Veronica
Cartwright, are also excellent -- and Howard Hesseman and Sarah Jessica Parker
round out a great supporting cast.

Special kudos are due to Paul Reubens (best known for his character Pee Wee
Herman) who was originally credited under his own name for lending his voice to a
major character in this film, but had his name removed from the credits, replaced
by the pseudonym "Pall Mall," after Reubens was arrested for alleged indecent
exposure committed in a movie theater seat. (I've never understood how Reubens
was convinced to plead "no contest" to the charge, after theater security cameras
showed him in the lobby buying popcorn at the time of the alleged offense.)
Considering that Disney's Hollywood Pictures division released Powder, directed
by a convicted and confessed child molester, Disney should show some backbone
and restore Reubens real name to the credits.

If you can get ahold of this movie, see it -- and maybe Disney will see fit to release
it again -- on DVD, I hope.

Summary: The Flight of the Navigator
Review: This movie was a family favorite when our children, now 23, 20, and 17, were younger. It's light hearted, amusing, and sweet.
A young boy (around 10 years old) is abducted by an Alien space craft which he learns to pilot. Piloting this ship the boy interacts with a very vocal computer. He flies through the skies of the USA listening to the Beach Boys and other happy music. In the end the boy elects to turn back time to get back to his family who will remember non of the trauma of his disappearance. A happy, heartwarming family movie.
