Continuity mistake: The weather changes at least twice during the end sequence at Meteor Crater. Take a look at the clouds in the background of all of the shots, especially those looking at the San Francisco Peaks (near Flagstaff, AZ). The extreme long shots of the helicopters coming show dark clouds, while the wide shots show a mix of cloud free and then cloudy skies.

I really liked this movie. Jeff Bridges portrays the alien really extremely well, and I totally bought that his character was from a different world. As the movie progressed, I grew to care more and more for the two main leads. The movie tells a compelling story, whilst also incorporating some funny fish out of water scenes too. The only problem I had was that the government subplot was kinda forgettable, but that did not affect the movie as a whole.

Jenny Hayden: What's it like up there?
Starman: It is beautiful. Not like this, but it is beautiful. There is only one language, one law, one people. There is no war, no hunger. The strong do not victimize the helpless. We are very civilized, but we have lost something, I think. You are all so much alive, all so different. I will miss the cooks and the singing and the dancing. And the eating! - - And the other things.
