@@roryvstheworld Hah, I only came to the same realisation too, after thinking it was much more than a mere co-incidence the both posted videos about Foundation and Flight of the Navigator at the same time.
When children still had the sense of wonder. The journey of discovery back then was what made all these new things so fantastic. Kids today, they have everything they want or need or know at the touch of the button. The journey of discovery is now looking at a phone and not up at the stars.
Seemingly every trick in the book was employed. They used, at a minimum: full-scale models, miniatures, forced perspective, matte paintings, mirrors, motion control, chromakey, stop-motion, and CGI.
The best thing I love about all this is that all my friends have all grown up and are in there 40s and I’m still 12 years old in the head. Thank you Trimaxian
I remember seeing FOTN in theaters when I was 5. Great memories. The graphics still hold up! One of the greatest and underrated movies Disney ever made! Everytime I see the Golden Gate Bridge shot I instantly hear Max sing: "Rice A Roni, the San Francisco treat!" 🔔🔔
Geez... Rewatching this, I am astounded at the level of detail they put into this back in 1986. The reflections on the hull and the water are quite remarkable.
The Abyss, another one of my favorite films. Came out in 1989 a few years after this, but it was so well made, it could have come out this year. It's so pristine and hi-def and has withstood the test of [special effects] time.
Top 10 favorite film of all time. Ive seen it at least a dozen times from age 10 when I first saw it in the theatres and age 45. The 80's were the best!
For some extra fun & amazing trivia... The musical soundtrack-score for *[Flight of the Navigator (1986) film]* was composed by *_Alan Silvestri,_* who besides having a long litany of great movie soundtrack-scores, is currently best known for many MCU film scores, in particular the MCU Avengers' theme.
This is the movie that started my love for space sci fi. My all time favorite movie of ALL time. I'm going to cringe when I see the trailer of the reboot...*cries*
i loved it too but after rewatching it recently I do think it can be improved *if* done right . (a big if of course , considering all recent remakes / sequels / reboots almost always suck )
Apparently Bryce Dallas Howard is supposed to direct the reboot/remake sooo considering she directed some of the best Mandolorian/BOBF episodes I'm hopeful.
just showed this to my son for the first time.... Has anybody else noticed that ship and how it moves looks STRIKINGLY FAMILIAR to what the Air Force and the Navy is claiming they've been seeing lately?
Doesn't necessarily have to be extraterrestrial 👽. Take away the faster than light speed space craft able to go underwater and put a altitude cap on it. And around 3030 most models of Chevys, Ford's, Hondas and other cars are going to look like this. All electric ⚡ hydrogen/ VTOL with AI assist and smart features/ nanobot infused polymer materials to change shape. I'd say in about a millennium we'll be taking our Trimaxion's to work.
i miss those times i'm 40 y.o now and let me tell you the movies, music and overall experiences as a child were great for me those times will be forever remembered as the best time to be alive
Yep, I remember He-Man, Transformers, GIJOE, Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff, those were my favorites the list goes on and on, I want to go back to the 80s so bad, what a great era!
I've seen this ship. One day above me in Chico, California. I thought it must be a weather balloon or a kid's silver helium birthday balloon. But then, suddenly it moved in a way impossible for those two... Then it disappeared out of nowhere.
I remember the first time I watched this movie as a kid. I so wanted to be David. That would have been so cool. Even at 48 I still tear up at the end when David says goodby to Max
I had my fair share of issues filming reflective or shiny models in front on blue screen back in the optical days. I guess they used an additional UV light pass to pull usable mattes from the motion control miniature (the one in pod form when NOT reflecting anything off a moving BG plate) or severely dulled the ship down after the beauty & reflection pass. As for the CGI shots; nothing short of amazing at the time.
They actually used a hairspray that covered the chrome paint for the matte shots. The spray could then be washed off for additional takes ruclips.net/video/tyixMpuGEL8/видео.htmlsi=KXTehzzDfyWl3v0g
Captain Disillusion goes over it in his "VFXcool" video about the movie - After every shot, they spray painted the miniature with white hairspray and filmed again to get a matte. Then they washed it off to get ready for the next shot
Juggernauts and classics came out in 1986. Aliens, Top Gun, Star Trek IV, Highlander, Stand By Me, Big Trouble in Little China, to name a few. FOTN and all of these are some of my favorite movies ever. So, it's not surprising at all.
More than you know. Research Disney animator Ward Kimball. Kimball stated that around 1955 or 1956 Walt Disney was contacted by the USAF and asked to cooperate on a documentary about UFOs. The USAF offered to supply actual UFO footage, which Disney would be allowed to use in his film.
And 40 years later the UAP videos that are showing up arent that much different than this. Bob Lazar spoke of working on them in the 80s and they moved exactly like this except the part where the real ship flies belly forward. They have been dumbing us down with movies to desensitize us of the truth which is that their really is alien crafts that have visited us and the ones that we have found from one form or another, hidden by the military. Our future is gona get scarier sigh :(
I think you probably mean... dishonest attempts at showing how diverse and inclusive they are, when in reality they're hypocrites who actually don't care about minorities, women or LGBTQ and are just looking for profit. They end up looking like they're trying too hard. That's probably the weird feeling that some people get about these new movies. Even among some "woke" people.

my review of this movie : ruclips.net/video/nK7FWCbSxmk/видео.html
Wait a minute, Major Grin is Nitpicking Nerd!? Lol how did I not know this. I've been enjoying both channels serperatly for ages.
@@roryvstheworld Hah, I only came to the same realisation too, after thinking it was much more than a mere co-incidence the both posted videos about Foundation and Flight of the Navigator at the same time.
The soundtrack to this movie is beyond amazing chills every time.
Some of the greatest movies ever made came out in the 80's.
When children still had the sense of wonder. The journey of discovery back then was what made all these new things so fantastic. Kids today, they have everything they want or need or know at the touch of the button. The journey of discovery is now looking at a phone and not up at the stars.
when special effects added to the story and were not a substitute for it.
100% truth. This movie. Goonies. Willow. Just a huge list of absolutely great adventure movies that could take an hour to type.
indeed
You are damn right they did.
Pretty amazing how well the effects held up
This is what happens when you work with in the limitations of the effects.
Unlike later MCU movies where most of it just stands out badly.
Seemingly every trick in the book was employed. They used, at a minimum: full-scale models, miniatures, forced perspective, matte paintings, mirrors, motion control, chromakey, stop-motion, and CGI.
@@sl600rt 🤡
You can tell if its real cause when David steps out of it the real prop is actually there but when he is inside that's when it's cgi
The best thing I love about all this is that all my friends have all grown up and are in there 40s and I’m still 12 years old in the head. Thank you Trimaxian
I love how they fly over the people in the city, and they just have to point with their fingers because nobody has a smartphone in their hands
Why not?!! Idiots.
I remember pointing

Yeah thanks screw his block lol
LOVE this movie,got this & the last starfighter for Christmas
I must have spent countless hours as a kid trying to draw this ship.
I did too!
The movie box art couldn’t get it right.
Do you want it ? I can make it big size metallic model
i tried to model it in 3D. on an SGI Onyx workstation at my uncle's office in Chicago. i failed miserably
i really liked this movie when i saw it as a kid, had one of the coolest ship designs.
ofcourse its one of the coolest because they took a look at the real thing, this is based on a real life story probably, just like E.T
My favorite movie growing up, don't like Disney really but they did very well with this. So nice and wholesome. I like it better than ET.
James Cameron contacted the director of this movie to find out how they did the CGI which he used for The Abyss and T2.
The Abyss, another one of my favorite films. Came out in 1989 a few years after this, but it was so well made, it could have come out this year. It's so pristine and hi-def and has withstood the test of [special effects] time.

Wouldn’t be surprised if those “Tic-Tacs” the navy got footage of didn’t look too dissimilar from this close up.
One of my favorites, ive seen this movie at least 50x and never get sick of it 😊

Back to the Future? Judge Dredd? Contact? Predator?

I used to love this movie as a kid. It still has that nostalgic feeling. COMPLIANCE. See ya later NAVIGATOR.
This was my go to move as a kid. Watched it hundreds of times.
How incredible it would be to be that advanced in the universe just so you can fly to another planet just to mess around for a bit then leave.
This is my favourite movie of all time.
One of my childhood fav movies awesome 👏
“it’s getting dark, that’s not right.” “NO ITS LEFT!”

Yes I was thinking the same thing!
the 80's were great to grow up in as a kid :E i loved this film
I was waiting for my turn as a navigator. I still am 😊
Still 80ies and 90ies had just the best movies ever to be made
Hopefully, I will have a second right before I die to think of this movie. I will go smiling. Fond memories from Earth
i miss those times i'm 40 y.o now and let me tell you the movies, music and overall experiences as a child were great

Disney nailed scifi with that one.
This one was originally an independent film. Disney ended up buying the rights to the film for distribution.
I've seen this ship. One day above me in Chico, California. I thought it must be a weather balloon or a kid's silver helium birthday balloon. But then, suddenly it moved in a way impossible for those two... Then it disappeared out of nowhere.
There's an interesting documentary somewhere showing how a lot of the effects were made. Quite recently too
@Captain disillusion
yo one of the best movies ever made yo
Still awesome after all this time. I wonder if Bob Lazar got high one time and watched fotn and that's how we came up with his story hehe.
Moya and the Delta Flyer had a baby... it's high-tech and frigging cute.
Moya… now _that_ is a name I haven’t heard in a _long_ time… a long time…
One of the best movies ever. They should do a remake
Loved this movie as a kid 🥰🥰🥰
Damn I use to watch this movie back in 2010-11 when I was 5 or 6 years old damn this movie brings back memories of the 2010s!!!!
I like how the "high speed" configuration is a Wave Rider lifting body shape.
It was my favorite movie back then and I need a copy
The 80s where the best years for really good movies of all Times I really anyjoyed all Of the movies from the 80s the best years
This is insane but I was watching this 2 days ago!
Magical Movie thanks Major Grin
Thanks
"This isn't Miami, this is Tokyo! How'd we get here?"
"Oops."
Amazing movie of the century
I loved this movie as a kid
A Tic Tac !!
I am watching this movie already 1986 nice movie 👌
Now it’s a snake shack at Disney World.
Ahh I love that movie.
Great film
Yes, that is the good stuff!
Love this movie
recuerdo cuando lo vi de niño, era tipo Wow q real se ve!! jaja, ahun asi fue de mis peliculas favoritas de niño, era tan genial
Starfleet would love it tech since it can go anywhere
Film stupendo
No defense against the technology like that 😮
I wonder what all capabilities does this Trimaxion Drone Ship have!
See you later navigator!
But there's no crying or self doubt and long family stories that show the justification to be insubordinate! Where is the whispering??
I remember the first time I watched this movie as a kid. I so wanted to be David. That would have been so cool. Even at 48 I still tear up at the end when David says goodby to Max
Pretty close to the technology that exists
This is no movie prop!
It s the air ray built by FESTO Company.
They knew already
Forever thankful to be Gen-X 🤘
SEE U LATER NAVIGATOR

Hasnt the kid in this spent most of his adult life in prison for robbing banks and shit?
yeah he robbed a bank while wearing a wig
That's sad...
Wow I'm surprised it had so little screen time.
Juggernauts and classics came out in 1986. Aliens, Top Gun, Star Trek IV, Highlander, Stand By Me, Big Trouble in Little China, to name a few. FOTN and all of these are some of my favorite movies ever. So, it's not surprising at all.
3.14 I've been there lol
They should do a remake
Ah yes the Nerf football spaceship.
complied!
Wicked
wait i thought it was all cg? i only saw a small handful of cgi scenes. like 2 or something... did they use miniatures for most of this?
@@MajorGrin Of course CG existed...? The environment mapped reflections look completely different from the practical models.
@@hughJ yeah reflection mapping must have been computerized . very early CGI
They knew it allready

Really unfortunate about what has happened to the kid in this movie.
the remake is gonna be crap
there better not be a remake
Who do I pay to make me one of these with a full interior as a home
Don't like to add salt to the wounds but I like the UFO in the first class monouvour, hows that for a school of thought? Lol
Супер умный фильм!
okay, I guess???
They got the size of ship wrong
0:54
The size is all wrong
super metroid inspired?
This predates Super Metroid by 7 years.
Needs a remake, maybe a 10 part netflix show?
netflix can keep their grubby hands off this IP
You want a 10 part netflix series, they want a JJ Abrams movie written by the people from Discovery.
NO REMAKE!!!!!!
