VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
CThreePamO I just finished watching the Starman series again. I loved this show as a teenager when it first came out. However, I now realize a lot of the actual storyline and meaning of it was lost on my youth. In watching the show again, I see how well Robert Hays brought to life the character of the alien wrapped in the body of Paul Forrester.The interactions between Paul the Alien and Paul Forrester and his old friends, family, or acquaintances are priceless. Each Paul has a different feel to him, the way he stands, the way he moves, or the way he reacts to different things. We truly believe that Paul the Alien is experiencing some things for the first time. However, it's not overkill either.This is a great show that probably deserved at least another season. It seems like all the good science fiction shows are cut too short.

Nancy Morris The official "Fan Club", Spotlight Starman International, is still alive and well. And it's Free!If you are a fan of the movie and the TV Show - do a search for the website.When the series was canceled, we held major conventions at least once a year and there were many local 'mini-cons' held in different areas in the country. Including a major convention where we went to Meteor Crator, in Arizona (where Starman met his ship at the end of the movie).Quite a few pieces of fan fiction and several music videos that have been made. There is also information about pending DVD's of the episodes.Blue Lights!!
littlefalcon2001 Starman has a huge following! Several websites have dedicated themselves to Starman, and they are full of info about the series, fans who love the show, plus continuing efforts to keep the memory alive. Starman was full of promise, too bad it ran for a very short time. Positive messages, family content and interesting plot lines made the show good even today, when t.v. and movies are full of cynical story lines. If you suspend your disbelief, sit back and open your mind, Starman was a good watch for sure!!! BTW, some negative comments about the show should be tempered by the fact that the Movie, Starman, had some different elements, actors and writers. The t.v. series was fun, I wouldn't pass up a rerun! Not a waste of time what so ever!
