Wing Commander Reviews
| Original Score: F | Sep 7, 2011
Playing up the military angle is the best move, but this and some excellent incidental effects can't completely disguise the shortcomings.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 7, 2010
Excruciatingly earnest yet convictionless.

Though the ingredients are potent, their blending here mostly comes off as formulaic, humdrum and sometimes unintentionally laughable.

Against all odds it succeeds.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2000
These actors, alas, are at the service of a submoronic script and special effects that look like a video game writ large.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 1, 2000
Things get truly dispiriting when the character dramas recede and the spark provided by Lillard and Holder goes out, leaving us only one incomprehensible battle after another.

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

As the movie transforms into a video game -- with a faux John Williams score to boot -- the human element turns corny, then laughable.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 1, 2000
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.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 1, 2000
Wing Commander looks like it was put together by people who couldn't agree on whether or not the year 2564 would be colored with red bulbs and fluorescent cafeteria lights or costumed as if Urban Oufitters had gone to Uranus.
