These actors, alas, are at the service of a submoronic script and special effects that look like a video game writ large.

As the movie transforms into a video game with a faux John Williams score to boot the human element turns corny, then laughable.

Playing up the military angle is the best move, but this and some excellent incidental effects cant completely disguise the shortcomings.

Though this could be the meat of a good space story, the combat scenes are weak variations of the games.

The plot has all the depth and originality of a video game without the fun of the interactivity.

One of the lousiest and tedious science fiction entries of the late nineties...

Things get truly dispiriting when the character dramas recede and the spark provided by Lillard and Holder goes out, leaving us only one incomprehensi ..

Tcheky Karyo, however, is terrific in a role that doesnt really test his acting mettle.

My, what a field day Mike Nelson and his robot pals would have had with this prime piece of sci fi schlock.

Wing Commander is such a mind numbing, awful, embarrassing, idiotic, corny, ludicrous, laughable, superficial, just plain bad, movie that I almost cou ..

As an action film, Wing Commander lacks any original ideas of its own.

Wing Commander is based on a video game and has roughly the same degree of character development. That is all most moviegoers will need to know.

I think kids will love this picture...I enjoyed myself too, half the time drawn into the film, half the time laughing at it.

But I dont recommend trying that at our own Garrett 8 Cinemas; Faith just isnt in the mood.
