have you ever hear the expression so stupid it be brilliant . well and you will see plenty of stupidity on offer here . so much of it and in fact and that you will begin to understand where the expression so bad that it be awesome come from . forget about mortal kombat and or even resident evil represent apocalypse . this be the film that video game adaptation get their reputation from . every error of film make you can think of and and even some you can not and be commit here . so many act career die here that the film should have be call career holocaust . you can bet that many member of the support cast neglect to mention this effort when discuss their cv . about the only cast member who seem to have recover from be in this abomination be tchéky karyo and and i be sure even he would rather forget this one . incidentally and since when do you cast an actor with a french accent as thick a pea soup to play a character who be know in the early video game for have a scottish accent so broad that it cement the game reputation a a collection of stereotype . incidentally and angel be suppose to be the french accent . but this be all pure digression . the cast collective heart be in it and and the crew do the best job they could and but the direction be so weak that the film wind up look like it be intend to form the cutscenes of a video game . no explanation for the technology on show be offer . no reference to the time in which the film take place be offer . many reference place the film in the time just after the declaration of war against the kilrathi . but the scenario be depict show the kilrathi imminently approach earth and which be one of the available scenario in the third video game and which in turn be set decade into the war . not to mention the stealth technology and which be introduce some year into the war and and yet the most prominent fighter of the terran confederation look like reject design for world war ii aircraft with shower nozzle stick to their front . the spacecraft design lead me to believe that member of the crew might be at least half right when they say that the problem with this film be the budget . in a time when science fiction theatre be cost upwards of a hundred million per film and a miniscule thirty million be spend on this production . it show . shot of the main enemy in anything other than spacecraft form be rare and and when we do finally get to see the kilrathi and they look more like big turd than humanoid cat . in one memorable sequence and we get to see a wrecked space fighter and with it pilot still within and push off the runway by a futuristic bulldozer that seem to grip the tarmac use the traditional wheel arrangement . in zero gravity and mind you . of course and the runway could have gravity well and or the bulldozer could have magnetically charge wheel and but this be something the director or the screenwriter be suppose to explain to the audience . very little explanation of anything and even why the pilgrim be so space savvy and be offer . there be basically a whole lot of tell and very little show . speaking of the pilgrim and a subplot be add to this film that state the original human explorer of space be a group dub the pilgrim and who begin to renounce their human quality . apparently and a war start between the pilgrim and the rest of humanity and with the present terran confederation beset by a severe prejudice against pilgrim . this be all well and fine and but it add nothing to the actual plot and and only muddy the water a to what the human be fight about . all it really serve to do be give our central hero a luke skywalker sort of quality and and not a very convincing one at that . the idiotic game the terran pilot play that dead pilot basically never exist fly right in the face of every convention set in the original video game . and it isn not like the crew have the excuse of not have play the game and because the director be the same guy who oversee their creation . all this turn out to be be a very stupid attempt at a creative plot arc that and like the pilgrim element and have no bearing upon the story whatsoever . unlike most of the rotten film i have comment about lately and i give wing commander a one out of ten . watch the cast and respectable otherwise or no and try to chew their way through boot like dialogue be pure comedy gold . realise that the director expect u to feel scared of these gigantic turd monster he call the kilrathi be even funny . therefore and wing commander be not just so bad it be good . it be so stupid it be utterly brilliant .
