Wing Commander Movie Review 1999

Unintentionally amusing sci-fi action flick combines elements from old WWII pilot movies, "Top Gun," and "Star Trek." Hot-shot space pilots (Prinz Jr. and Lillard) battle an evil race of aliens that resembles a heavily armed version of the cast of "Cats." Their real battle is with the heinous dialogue and techno-babble they are forced to regurgitate. Adapted from a video game.
