Starman Reviews

This is definitely a prequel for guardians of the galaxy
“Now, tell me again how to say goodbye

Finally, an alien visitor that doesn’t want to destroy us, screw us or make us codependent and/or really terminally Ill (looking at you, E.T) He’s just here for the vibes.

fantastic soundtrack, followed by an amazing performance by bridges. 💫💫💫💫 7.2/10

Going through Carpenter's filmography I expected this to be one that dragged, but I was VERY wrong. This will easily be in the top 10, maybe even crack my top 5. A simple little roadtrip with our two leads, with whom you care and understand why Karen Allen's character's grief eventually drives her for a second chance to be with her husband after a tragedy.

A special film to me as a kid in the 80s, and so much fun to revisit as an adult all these years later.

Pretty good for its time. 7/10

Underrated Sci-Fi gem! One of John Carpenter’s best.

Solid story, great performance from Kurt Russel. Kind of prequel for Guardians

i was concerned and confused for most of this film, but i thoroughly enjoyed whatever the hell i watched.

Thought it was gonna be more romance based but was actually way better than I was expecting!!👍😁

“Remind me how to say goodbye” was heartbreaking 😭🥺 this has become my new comfort sci-fi

Young Jeff Bridges 👀

While Carpenter is synonymous with the horror genre he’s made some great forays out of it: this is an example of one. An exploration of grief and letting go. There’s a human side to this film which his other works lack. Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen are great.

Fun film. Some great visuals and quite the outlier in JC’s catalog.

One of John Carpenter’s best films and one of the best science fiction movies ever made. The acting and story are so well done. I loved this one.

I’m an 80’s kid and a huge Jeff Bridges fan. Yet somehow I’d never seen this flick. It’s definitely 80’s, but I liked it.

An emotional and romantic delight
