This afternoon's movie was Flight of the Navigator (1986). A fun, feel-good family movie — though, the NASA guy was a bit creepy and dark. The plot was simple and the runtime short. One of the first movies to use CGI extensively and while it doesn't hold up well, it's a great snapshot into what CGI was like in the mid-80s. Alan Silvestri's synth score for the movie is interesting.
Rated 7 out of 10.

Thank you for this. That was such a great deep dive. I thought they had made partial life-size models of the ship for some of the shots. It’s amazing that they made two full life-sized models!
