Based on the Wing Commander games on PC from the time when games came on several floppy discs this is a very typical space fighter style movie.

It basically follows the story of a small but elite fighter pilot team that all range from the ages i would say of 20-25. Freddie Prinze Junior stars as the lead cast member and plays his usual enigmatic style of character.

A vicious alien race, called the Kilrathi, have discovered Earth and are hellbent on it's total destruction. All that stands between Earth and this vicious new enemy are two young hotshot fighter pilots and their elite fighter squadron.

In an attempt to stop the Kilrathi from obliterating all mankind the brave young squadron go on a direct assault mission to try to stop the Kilrathi from reaching earth.

Inevitably it's the usual story of happy ever after but there are a few twists and turns in the film which i felt was very watchable indeed. I was a massive massive fan of the pc games and so therefore am probably a little nostalgic over this film but there have certainly been many worse films made both before and after this one.

All in all, worth 2 hours of your life.

Wing Commander (DVD) - review by wampyrii

Advantages: So bad you might laugh a bit, kids might like it(although they'll probably get bored with the lack of action)
Disadvantages: Numbskullish screenplay, dire acting, weak special effects, sluggish pace, no thrills, no tension, no excitement...and it goes on
