Life After the Navigator

I loved Life After Flash, Director Lissa Downs earlier film in the same series, so had big expectations for this follow up I wasn't disappointed. This doco is a real deep dive from someone who shows the film and its stars , the respect and care it deserves.

Joey Cramer has had a difficult life and the easiest move would have been to do a car crash 'where are they now' expose , but this is far from what the film goes.

It's beautiful crafted, carefully constructed and clearly has been put together by someone who cares about its legacy.

It's hard to convey unless you've seen it, so my advice is to see it. You won't be disappointed. I am not shamed to say my boyfriend had to pass the tissues at the end of this remarkable story. I cant wait for more in this series.

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.

This story is about the life of Joey Cramer and of the movie "Flight Of The Navigator" Interspread with a TON of interesting tidbits about the movie itself is a human interest story. A story about a boy who became an actor who couldn't go back to "normal" life because of that. He got into a spot of trouble and had a tough time working his way out of it. By the end of this documentary movie, we find that the human spirit can get through ANYTHING whether it be getting bullied or being told vile things by a father or just making bad decisions and having to go through the human "system" for paying for those bad decisions.

I believe this is a truly uplifting journey and well worth seeing. I love the way some of the transitions were done in this movie as well.

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.
