WC Movie Reviewed From WC1 Perspective
ConMan1226 is creating a series of movie reviews called "From Pixels to Pictures," and now he's reached Wing Commander. He was unfamiliar with the series beforehand, so he played through the first WC game and based his comparisons on that, which gives this kind of an interesting point of view. The cast generally gets decent marks, and he says this is despite the lead actor not trying very hard. The author would have preferred more of the game's side characters to play a larger role and notes the death of Rosie as a high point of the story. Set design and spaceflight get quite a few compliments as well. He even though the Pilgrims worked, although they were probably too complicated. Based on some of his analysis of the contemporary reviews at the time, his final verdict is that it didn't get a fair shake and suffered in the wake of a general video game-based movie stigma at the time. Watch the whole review below!
This is a video game adaptation that not a lot of people talk about, but it's noteworthy for being directed by the same man who created the original game. How does it hold up?NOTE: The disclaimer at the beginning of the video was recorded one week before this video's publication. It took me a while to get around to editing this video.
