Stargames

About This Movie

Stargames is a curious blend of adventure and science fiction that really leans into its whimsical premise. You've got this young space prince, who’s a bit of an innocent, trying to navigate the complexities of Earth with his human buddy, Brian. The pacing is a tad uneven at times, but there's something charming about the way they evade not just robots, but also bears and even geometric shapes—yes, triangles. The practical effects are a mixed bag, but they add to the film's unique character. It’s definitely a product of its time with that late '90s aesthetic. I wouldn’t say it's for everyone, but there's a certain charm in its absurdity that you might appreciate if you dig this kind of genre mashup.
