WELL ACTED, BUT NAIVE


Contact with alien races is one of the eternal SF themes, so not even the King of trash John Carpenter resisted the temptation to tackle it.

What separates ’’Starman’’ from the rest of the b-production it shares the timeline is one of the best acting in the history of SF cinema (Bridges), as well as some decent production, albeit nowadays out of date and slightly naive.

On the other hand, the script just won’t take the viewer anywhere specific, leaving the sense of unfinished business at the very end.

’’Starman’’ is a decent movie if you are a fan of the ’80s, but not for much anybody else.
