The film has its flaws, but manages to be entertaining. It features an early film appearance by Sarah Jessica Parker as Carolyn McAdams, a key character who. It stars Joey Cramer as David Freeman, a 12-year-old boy who is abducted by an alien spaceship and transported from 1978 to 1986. As far as remakes are concerned, this is a fairly good one and doesn't deserve to be construed as the worst remake ever made. Flight of the Navigator is a 1986 American science fiction adventure film directed by Randal Kleiser and written by Mark H. After watching this film, I can only imagine how the original film is, and I will most definitely see it.
If you're in the mood for a mindless, entertaining film, then this one is the one that you should watch. But really Flight Of The Phoenix is an impressive remake given the chance. But I agree that at times the film struggles to find it's identity and that some characters are pointless. There are far worse films out there than this one. I really enjoyed the film I was greatly entertained by it, and I don't understand why people have condemned it so. Sure there are things that could've been better, but for the most part this film manages to be entertaining and thrilling But like everyone else I thought a few things were missing to make this film truly something awesome. I think it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I was quite entertained by this film, and I very much enjoyed it. But that doesn't mean that this film is bad. This remake like all the others is probably not as great as the original. Now I have never seen the original film starring legend Jimmy Stewart so I can't compare the two films.
