Synopsis:
John Carpenter`s Starman is a spellbinding mix of gentle humour, romance and science fiction wizardry. Jeff Bridges received an Oscar nomination as Best Actor (1984), and Karen Allen provides excellent co-starring support. An alien explorer from a far-off planet (Bridges) plummets to Earth. His unearthly masters give him three days to live as a man - and then he must return. In those three days he learns not just to live, but to love. Guided by a beautiful, lonely young widow (Allen), he embarks on a desperate 2000-mile race against time and the might of the US army.

7 / 10
It`s a rather sweet film, which seems from a more innocent age. an 80`s sleeper and one of Carpenter`s lighter and more family oriented efforts, of which there are few..., The presentation is nice, the Transfer is good for it`s age, and sound good too...
