One of my favorite movies as a kid. I’ve showed it to my kids and they like it too. Holds up because of how inherently traumatic it would be as a child to be ripped away from your family and sent back to them when you haven’t aged a day, but they’ve aged several years.
Flight of the Navigator (1986) captures that perfect mix of wonder and mystery that defined 80s sci-fi. A kid, a spaceship, and a sense of adventure that feels pure and timeless. Its practical effects still hold up beautifully today.
