Om den här filmen

Based on the best selling video game, Wing Commander is now a full length action-packed movie! Starship Troopers meets Top Gun in this no-holds-battle for the future of mankind. A vicious alien race, the Kilrathi, has discovered the coordinates to Earth and is heading its way! Now it's up to two young hotshot fighter pilots to blast their way through the Kilrathi's defenses and save their planet from this new breed of enemy.

Betyg och recensioner

I enjoy this film, with caveats. It re-imagines most of the story in curious ways. I'd enjoy seeing more, but only with a new cast and better writing. This movie has all the makings of something good checked off without actually checking to make sure they mesh well. It could've been a blockbuster if more time was spent on the script and some of the casting was rethought. As it is, I enjoy it more as fuel for my imagination and escapist media than as a war story or anything like that.

If you never played the games, this is a standard fighter jock movie in space. For fans of the game series, like me, its a good re-introduction, with a few new twists that put it slightly off target. Story is good, but the casting is horrible.

** had potential lacks continuity in story line. + Watch closely in a battle scene Kilrathi's head/mask comes up & u almost see the actor. To think someone checked this b4 it was released in theaters!
