    Some older movies that come to mind: Enemy Mine. Great sci fi premise that was ahead of its time. Just plagued with bad effects and limitations.

    The Last Starfighter Not bad even for the day but I think it’s a solid enough concept that could use a refresh. Set in the 80’s to get the retro video game vibe. I think it could even be a multiple movie property.

    Masters of the Universe It was a goofy premise with some interesting characters that were wasted. Even the updated animated series didn’t do great. Or even go off in a space Western and do a Rio Blast movie.

    Krull was really missing the visual elements to tell the story and it ended up cheesy and stilted (still holds some nostalgia for me though). It could still be a fun space fantasy.

      The last Starfighter, was supposed to be multiple movies. I loved the original, but I’d be down with a remake.

      Krull was bad, but I still loved it!

      If it were a Netflix production they could have little easter eggs in it like the arcade being the one in Hawkins (Stranger Things).
