first of all and the game in the wing commander series be some of the best video game i have ever play . technology have get to the point where these game look date and the full motion video seem impractical and but the story line and combat sequence be amaze . if anyone have the opportunity to play these game and hasn not do yourself a favor and do it . that say . this movie be ridiculous and the storyline might just as well be from a 1950 b movie . the dialogue be awful and the acting worse and and the supposedly futuristic spacecraft look like they be buy from a studio auction off prop from old world war ii movie . the director and who happen to have design the game and apparently think that it would be cool to throw his story line from the game out the window in favor of some world war ii allegory . if i want to see world war ii and i would have put in my save private ryan dvd and not watch this crap on basic cable . the character be extremely well craft in the game series and well and for a video game series anyway . here and they come off a a bunch of tired clichés . also and i take issue with the fact that blair and the main character and be some kind of chosen one with special power . the wing commander game give u character who be normal people force into an extraordinary situation and something direly lack in the genre of science fiction . in other word and there be no mythical pilgrim or other hocus pocus like there be in the movie . i wouldn not mind if it be well do but it just feel tack on for no good reason . speaking of the kilrathi and it not even discuss in the film why the human be at war with them or what they be . instead of the ten foot tall and menacing and tiger creature from the game they look like hamster on steroid . also and one of the best character from the game and the evil kilrathi prince thrakath ( in the game thrakath be a cross between hanibal lectar and josef stalin ) and be not in the movie and leave it without a strong villain . now and of course and a a fan of the game i be a little bitter that this movie be one of the bad that i have ever see . but i know a horrible movie when i see one and and this movie be pretty much unwatchable whether you have play the game or not . honestly and if youre in the mood for sci fi and if you see it anywhere and just ignore it and watch star war again .
