This is a great movie that I had seen a few times on cable (DISNEY Channel)and I was glad to be able to get a copy of it online. It is a great story about a proto-type weapon cyborg suit that is sent to earth by it's creators to escape destruction on it's own planet which is under attack. A 12 year old boy, who is having problems of his own - lack of courage, etc. - finds the suit which he calls "Cy" and figures that his life can't possibly get any worse. So he enters the suit as the biotic host and becomes one with Cy. That's where the action begins. He finds out that, since Cy is a prototype, they must engage and battle a hostile warrior, and what a battle they encounter! The movie has a great story line and is full of comedy. I highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for an entertaining 90 minutes to break from reality and get away from it all. Kids of any age will really enjoy it too. I would categorize it as soft science fiction, but it is really more of a drama comedy.

Joseph Mazzello in his real comedic-drama role ROCKS
Added 10/20/2006
Star Kid is a lighter film in the repertoire of Joseph Mazzello, and is the first movie where His name heads the cast. He carries this movie almost solely by himself. This is a fun FAMILY sort of film of the lighter sort and makes for a good time watch.
But, there is more to this movie. The vast number of close-ups of Joseph's face (when he is inside the alien-built cyber-suit) is a STUDY in good acting-concentration. I never knew that Joe's face was that expressive ( and while we are on this topic, did ANYONE catch Joe "pulling a Bugs Bunny" with his eye brows, in an early scene of Simon Birch?). Anyway, my point is that Joseph has a RARE and magical face that is wonderfully expressive. Star Kid is solid, and a fun flick to watch over popcorn or hot coco. For those who are BIG Joseph Mazzello fans, this film is "Sine Qua Non"--indespensable--for your collection.
You see more of him than anyone else and he carries this film from A-to-Z.
Best of all, it is Joe's first significant work at lighter fare/quasi-comedy. Popcorn anyone?
