Life After the Navigator

Lisa Downs did an amazing job of both going behind the scenes of Flight of the Navigator and telling the story of Joey Cramer's life, which is both heartbreaking and inspiring. There are interviews with so many of the cast and crew detailing the work that went into Flight of the Navigator. As a lifelong FOTN fan, I highly recommend it.

After watching this documentary i felt it really explored the world of addiction and how it can change someones life. Yes,, I'm a huge fan of the movie, but what really spoke to me was the journey of someone struggling to overcome their inner demons.I've been there so can relate.

This documentary takes you on a really human journey of where life can lead you and ultimately is a tale of redemption. Its filled with great anecdotes and interviews about the movie Flight Of The Navigator. But is so much more. take the time to watch it. You wont be disappointed. The director really cares about the subject matter and if you are not at least quietly crying by the end, you have a heart of stone.

This is a very sensitively handled documentary that takes you not only into the heart of the film, but also it's troubled star Joey Cramer.

Anyone who is a fan of the film will get so much out of this but the human story behind this and Downs also excellent Life After Flash also in this series , makes it so much more. It takes you on an emotional journey that looks at the havoc caused by addiction and the decisions it often causes to be made. By the end if you have dry eyes you must be an emotionless robot. Strongly recommend you see this beautiful documentary and hope for more in this series.

The story of a Navigator who lost his way.

Joe Cramer is a sympathetic and fascinating figure. His tale is sensational, but not sensationalized. His mistakes and choices are earnestly exposed, and I couldn't help but be caught up in his life. The same spark that made Joe so appealing in Flight of the Navigator still shines bright, he comes across as very likeable and easy to listen to.

Life After The Navigator explores not only Joe's travails but also the production of Flight of the Navigator. And neither aspect steps on the toes of the other. Lisa Downs weaves between the two with skill, and I look forward very much to her next film, Life After Atreyu. (Speaking of which, Joe reveals a detail about The Neverending Story here that I had never heard before. He actually appears in that film twice, at least one shot of him is definitely not one you'd expect.)

The Navigator's journey is not over. I hope Joe finds nothing but success is his endeavors.

Im a HUGE fan of this film and also wondered what happened to its star Joey Cramer. I had such a teenage crush on him and always wanted to known what happened. WOW, what a story. I dont want to add any spoilers but its an incredible roller coaster ride.

My only criticism is I would loved to have heard from Paul Reubans about voicing Max (HUGE FAN) , and maybe Sarah Jessica Parker, massive fan !! but that is me being picky.

WATCH THIS. It's amazing. MORE PLEASE in this amazing nostalgia series. I feel like im a teenager again.
