DVD Description
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

From the Back Cover
David Freeman (Joey Cramer) is an ordinary boy destined for a most extraordinary adventure--aboard a spectacular, futuristic spacecraft. After a mystifying disappearance, David returns--possessing vast, undiscovered knowledge about the farthest reaches of the universe. With these sudden navigational powers, David is able to take the fantastic flying machine anywhere he desires, accompanied by a wisecracking robotic commander, Max, and an assortment of bizarre extraterrestrial creatures! Embark on a fun-filled, fast-paced journey of fantasy and adventure as David takes off on the flight of his lifetime! Also featuring Sarah Jessica Parker and the voice of Paul Reubens.

4.0 out of 5 stars Make 'space' in your life for this gem!!, 9 Feb 2004
By J. Marciniak "acquiesce" (Manc) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The first time I saw this film I refused to walk though the woods for fear of alien abduction! 15 years on... I still feel the same. A cult 80's classic that should surely rank along side the epics such as Back To The Future and Teenwolf (1 NOT 2).

It would be fair to say that they really do not make films like this anymore. In all honesty the DVD offers nothing more than the film itself, but believe me this is more than enough.

Not just a family film, this is an everyone film. If you havent seen this film yet buy it and understand exactly why 'Surfin' U.S.A' was a great record and if you have seen it... reflect and feel all nostalgic.

Just sitting around waiting for the release of 'The Boy Who Could Fly'...

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic '80s kids movie, 28 Jul 2005
By A Customer
Flight of the Navigator is a classic '80s kids movie. Its got everything: kids, computers, spaceships, robots, time travel, aliens, electronic music, and flying. It's a well produced, entertaining, innocent film that should definitely prove nostalgic to anyone in their mid-20s. The special effects and soundtrack in particular are superb.

Unforunately, the DVD production itself isn't particuarly good. It doesn't have any special features or bonus items. All you get is the film, and the picture quality isn't exactly good. In fact, it's grainy, blurry, with washed out blacks and a shimmering noise pattern visible on the titles. A terrible transfer. Still, at least it's presented in 16:9.

Worth noting, the film features a young Sarah Jessica Parker when she actually was a girl, and not a sad 40-year-old woman acting like a teenager and looking like The Wicked Witch of the West.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compliance!!, 30 Nov 2003
By A Customer
A great movie that some sad individuals slag off, but after viewing their DVD collection, I now know why they are not of this planet.
At this great price, every sci-fi or 80's fan should have it on their shelves at home! It holds a great storyline along with good music, and a barrel of laughs, action and suspense! Enjoy!
