Summary: A classic movie for all age groups
Review: This movie carries a wonderful story packaged in a mix of comedy, sci-fi adventure and human drama- young boy abducted by alien machine, enters into time-warp, returns home & finds so many things changed and finally re-united with his family. All of this accomplished through many hilarious scenes with his alien captor/friend.

Summary: Nostalgic Eighties Flick
Review: I have nostalgic memories from watching this film as a kid in the eightees. Along with "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "ET: the Extra-Terrestrial", this was one of my favorite sci-fi films. The concept of aliens and UFOs fascinated me. Unfortunately, it seems to have fallen out of circulation. Luckily I was able to get a copy of the VHS some time back. I hope Disney will re-release this film on DVD so we can see it in its original widescreen aspect ratio.Joey Cramer is David Freeman, a boy living in a picture perfect Florida town in 1978 with his parents and bratty kid brother. However, he finds his life changed when he is knocked out in the forest for a few minutes, or so he thinks. When he returns home, he finds that it is 1986. David has been missing for 8 years, yet David himself has not aged. David's parents are now eight years older, and his bratty kid brother has grown up into a quite decent 16-year-old. David's quest to find out what happened to him will take him to an alien spacecraft run by a computer named Max. The first half of the film is structured like an eerie mystery as David and the police try to piece together what happened to David. This is perfectly complemented by Alan Silvestri's eerie score. The film loses some of its mystery later on, but it's still highly enjoyable. The spacecraft looks incredible, and the scenes where David gets to fly the spacecraft are really neat. I think though I liked Max better before he assumed his Pee-Wee Herman voice (voiced by Pee-Wee himself). The ending nicely tied things up. Too bad we don't get to see what becomes of David's crush on the local girl.

Summary: Compliance. A great movie!
Review: This sci-fi film is a classic eighties movie filled with humour, drama and adventure from start to finish. This is a must see for all ages! The part where the Beach Boys 'I Get Around' is a funny moment. I already have both the UK region 2 Version (widescreen 16.9) and the S. American region 1 Version (Full Screen 4.3) both officially released in these territories already. It's nice that US customers can now enjoy this terrific movie. Though the Region 1 version I have includes the Theatrical trailer as well as other extras. I hope there is a choice between full screen/widescreen options because this movie was filmed in full frame and cropped/matted for theaters/cinemas. So if you are used to the Vhs/tv broadcast versions this is the full screen original print. And will be losing picture from top and bottom for the widescreen release on DVD. Let's hope this US version has loads of extras like audio commentary, featurette etc.

Summary: NOT just for kids!
Review: I'm a sci-fi fan from way back. I've got in my collection, War of the Worlds, WestWorld, Forbidden Planet, Alien(s), and many, many more. Flight of the Navigator is an enjoyable movie to watch. My son and I went to the 1st showing of it in our town. We also went to several other showings of it. While many of the other reviewers remember seeing this as a child, I'm here to tell you, It's NOT a kids movie!
Flight of the Navigator is on a level with the Ray Harryhausen movies, if you're familiar with them. They're movies that are clean enough for the whole family, thought provoking if you let them, and just plain entertaining, without being dull, boring tripe!
If like to watch movies over, and over again. And you'ld like to watch them by yourself, or with your family, get this movie. It's an enjoyable break in your day.

Summary: best kid sci-fi movie ever
Review: I saw this movie some 20 years ago when it was released to the movie theaters. The cast selection was good so was the script. I am however, going to wait till it is released and rent it before I buy it. It would ruin the quality of the movie if the Disney censored some of the words from this film. I always like a good science fiction film, but don't treat me as a kid by trying to make it politically correct. Joey Cramer was great in a 1987 movie called The Stone Fox look for it when it comes out on DVD.

Summary: One of my favorites as a kid
Review: I waited a long time for this to come out on dvd. Bugs me that the companies don't get it right the first time though. They release the dvd with no extras what so ever just so they can release a special edition a few months later. Disney did the same thing with Tron. I'm sure they have a lot of stuff they could've put on this dvd but they chose otherwise. I would've liked to see some trailers at least and it doesn't even look like it has any. Anyway Flight of the Navigator is a great movie for the whole family. It's under-rated and a lot of people might not even have heard of it. It's about a boy who's accidently sent to the future by an alien space ship. When he finds his family they wonder why he hasn't aged a day. Scientists then run tests on him to find out where he was. He decides to escape and find a way back to the past and getting a ride on the space ship is the only way back. Once he gets on the ship is when the movie turns more goofy as the alien is voiced by Paul Reubens (Pee Herman) after all. The movie is still tons of fun and it does have some clever science fiction in it too for a kids movie. So eventhough the dvd has no extras what so ever the movie itself is worth checking out.

Summary: This is for my mom
Review: My mom has enjoyed this movie for years, but we never owned it; however, I have decided to change that and order her her favorite movie of all time, "Flight of the Navigator." This is a great family movie that includes humor, science fiction, and a family that sticks together. I would recommend that every child watch this movie, even if it is before their time.

Summary: A must see for children from 5 to 90
Review: When our family first saw this movie,it set up a lot off long didcussions at the dinner table,about what such an event would be like for our sons,and us,of course as parents we could see the down side to having our sons kidnapped and not brought back for eight years! You have to hand it to the younger generation they only saw the adventure and I have to admit their enthusiasum really over came our reservations! I'ts a great movie to be watched with the family(in case there are any questions)and then just turn them loose to watch it when they want,let them have there dreams that allow them to reach out much further in life and accomplish anything (if) they want it bad enough! I know I didn't give away the plot, but in this case I know first hand that telling the plot to a child will only ruin it for them! They will thank you more for the suprises! I can say this from years of raising our children and now I'm buying it for my Grandchildren. Thank you very much for rereleasing it! Thank you.
