Well, okay, since I actually like the movie. When I first saw it in theaters, I will admit, I disliked it. I thought it was a travesty to Wing Commander. However, I saw it again when a friend of mine rented it for kicks.
In order to enjoy the movie, you must first dump
everything you know about Wing Commander. Forget about the continuity and forget about your conception of the characters. Think of it as looking at the Wing Commander universe from another light.
Secondly, accept the fact that it is Wing Commander
anything. What I mean is- hey, it may not be perfect... but at least it is a Wing Commander movie! So, focus on the cool stuff.
Another thing is to be be grateful they didn't base it off of the horrid
Super Wing Commander game. We lucked out, there!
