About this deal

Where the limitations come in seem to be related to the resolution the effects were rendered in. On the old DVD, and even on the previous Blu-ray, it wasn’t as obvious, but the new restoration mixed with the improved resolution makes the rough edges of the effects a little more obvious. These issues primarily come down to jagged-edges mixed with moiré patterns, and as the perspective on a rendered object changes those aliasing artifacts become even more obvious. The sequence where Alex first arrives to the space station, like when he passes Saturn, may be the worst example of this. After finally achieving the high score on Starfighter, his favorite arcade game, everyday teenager Alex Rogan (Lance Guest) meets the game's designer, Centauri (Robert Preston) -- who reveals that he created Starfighter as a training ground for developing and recruiting actual pilots to help fight a war in space. Whisked away from the banality of his trailer park life to a distant alien planet, Alex struggles to use his video game-playing skills to pilot a real ship, with real lives at stake.

Damage has been cleaned up in a far more thorough manner, and I don’t recall many blemishes ever popping up (the old disc still had a lot), and the digital encode is solid: the film is quite grainy, more than I was expecting, but it looks sharp and natural and the encode never struggles with it. Where things can falter a wee bit is in some of the film’s computer effects.

Into the Starscape: Composing The Last Starfighter – a new interview with composer Craig Safan (12:21) For those not familiar with the details regarding Ultra HD Blu-ray you can refer to my article that includes some pertinent data on the subject. Here is the link:This film was ahead of its time and its visual effects may seem a bit jarring and out of place today, but for those who lived through the era or for those interested in films from the era, it doesn’t get much more keyed in than this. Arrow’s 4K Ultra HD release is reference quality and another of their releases that instantly brings the FOMO.
