I'll keep this short, this is a great little family film, a nice little high concept film make in the late eighties in the wake of Star Wars, Star Trek, The Last Star Fighter, DARYL, ET, Starman and was released the same year as Flight of the Navigator. I loved this as a kid and love it as a 34 year old man. I would give this 4 stars if is wasn't for the fact that the disc is a pretty poor presentation, with only 4:3 and a glorified VHS picture quality. The price however, makes it easy to forgive its minor short comings.
