Nice MovieThere's war between the Terran Confederation and the evil Kilrathi, who are so evil they want to destroy the whole universe. (They probably aren't thinking that through very clearly. But then they're evil.) They've stolen the Pegasus Navicom A.I.

Device that enables them to 'jump' behind enemy lines and destroy the Earth part of the universe. Freddie Prinze Jr.

Stars as Blair, a Pilgrim, which means he's hated by everybody for having this film's answer to the Force. His pal Matthew Lillard plays Maniac (his usual role). So you've got two guys with a Top Gun complex, bent on preventing the Kilrathi from destroying Earth. You'd expect lots of action from these combat-ready flyboys. But there's scant little of that, and lots of static dialogue scenes, including one cinematic quote of Howard H awks's classic Only Angels Have Wings to explain how pilots handle the death of one of their own. All it would have taken to make this film a success is a series of action set pieces and a thin plot to hang them from.

What director Roberts needed was a Navicom device to help him 'jump' behind Hollywood lines. That and a decent script. Guilty Pleasure Bad MovieI am a major sci-fi and WWII war movie fan, but this cheesy movie absolutely cracks me up because the attention to detail to incorporate as many aspects of the WWII genre into a sci-fi adventure is actually pretty impressive. It is a WWII submarine turned aircraft carrier turned British spaceship. They left no detail behind, even including Jurgen Prochnow of Das Boot fame in the supporting cast.

Pay close attention to the sights and sounds: launching space fighters in zero G drop off the end of the deck like planes at the end of a catapult launch; lasers sound and look like firing 50-caliber machine guns; radar sweeps sound like sonar pings; bombing runs, torpedo attacks, straffing runs, the list goes on and on. Make no mistake about it, this is a cheesy movie that is absolutely entert aining for all the wrong reasons.This is one of my guilty pleasure movies I can watch over and over because I'm always picking up some additional detail I missed on previous viewings. Throwing it in the DVD player whenever no one is around always puts a smile on my face. Whenever I view it with friends I always emphasize exactly what I described. Add some beers and snacks and everyone has a great time. Good Action Sequences with Bad ActingThis movie was touted as 'Starship Troopers meets Top Gun in this no holds barred battle for the far reaches of space'.

This movie definately falls far short of that lofty description. Starship Troopers had far better special effects and Top Gun had better acting and the best jet fighter (dog fight) sequences of any movie. Wing Commander features Freddi Prince Jr and a lot of overacting by his virtually unknown supporting cast.In brief the movie centers around the Earth locked in a war with the Kilrathi, a vicious race bent of our utter destruction. Enter Freddie Prince Jr who is a hybrid of a human and 'Pilgrim' who has the ability to out-think navigation computers. The Pilgrims, who once revolted against the rest of humanity, are held in suspicion and Prince Jr must overcome these feelings as he joins his new comrades in battle aboard the Tiger Claw.While the story line, Earth vs the evil aliens, is obviously well used, Wing Commander puts enough wrinkles in it to keep the movie interesting. The battle sequences are fun to watch, if a bit silly, and the aliens are deliberately kept out of focus as they appear to be bad Halloween masks propped up on mannequins.

The music is annoying and the sound effects of the earth fighters firing their weapons, which incidentally sound like machine guns, is enough to force you to keep hitting the mute button over and over. The acting is nothing short of horrendous and it looked as if the 'actors' were just there for a paycheck.The movie is entertaining in a campy sort of way, like watching Godzilla movies on a Saturday afternoon, but only the most intense Sci Fi fan will likely enjoy the movie. Wing Commander Redefines Intellectual EntropyThink of every great team film you've ever seen: Braveheart, Remember the Titans, Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers. And then ask yourself, 'If I could show one film to convince our international critics that Americans are capable of bravery, loyalty, and teamwork, what would I show?' Now, erase all that bravery, love and teamwork. Ask yourself, 'If I could show one film to convince our international critics that Americans are inherrently stupid, brainless, and clueless when it comes to teamwork, what would I show?'

It is in this moment that Wing Commander rises to its feet, steps forward. And falls flat on its face.I love this film because it is so terrible. There are three films that tie for the Worst Movie Ever Made, and this is one of them. It's advertised as Sci-fi, but i t is truly a gut-busting comedy that will eventually end up on Mystery Science Theater.' It's not faith! It's genetics!' Shouted the French pilot to Freddy Prinz Jr.

This quote is arguably the most intellectual development of the film. Everything else swirls to a pale ring of interwoven oblivion, much like the flushing of a toilet.I am not a huge Sci-fi fan, so our family had no idea that Wing Commander was based on a video game. This was actually in our favor, because we had no preconceptions about the plot. We watched this film and laughed so hard we almost peed on the couch. It is THAT BAD! The fact that producers would would continue to spend millions of dollars over several months to continue funding for the film is mind-boggling.

After the first week, any normal person would have seen the project was mortally flawed. Yet the producers persevered, and thanks to that perseverance, a film encompassing every dysfunctional aspect of a blockbuster gone awry exists.Where to begin?

First, the actual Wing Commander is a girl (not Freddy Prinze Jr.). Second, she doesn't actually command anything; everyone on the Tiger Claw ignores her directives. Fabulous humor there, mostly because it's unintentional.Normally, actors can convince us to suspend our disbelief long enough to believe they're in another setting. For example, Freddie Prinze's blonde friend - the Scooby Doo guy who is with him in other every movie - begins the film piloting a spaceship.

The spaceship set is a big box with a black background. Even with a mediocre actor, I would think, 'OK, you're in outer space.' Here, I felt like I was watching Freddie Prinze's twin co-star. Well, recite lines in a big box with a black background. You could have recorded a second grader pretending to be an astronaut in a tree house and created a more convincing result. Yet that whole vibe of lameness is why the movie is so funny.The Matrix Bullet-Time rip-off scenes.

The indecision about whether the conflict was in World War II or the 27th Century (really, does a fighter spaceship dip after leaving the runway of an 'aircraft carrier' if there is no gravity in space? Do you need a bulldozer to move the wreckage if it crashlands in zero gravity?). Wimpy spaceships. Goofy aliens. The horrendous acting.

The utter brainlessness of disrespecting superior officers on a 'military' venture. A script that could have been written by a middle-schooler. You'll laugh so hard that you might pee on the couch too. I recommend this movie 100%, even if it's just to watch it once to see how terrible a film can become. This is the most extreme example of cinematic intellectual entropy in existence.

'Singham' actor Ajay Devgn, who has given phenomenal performances in movies like 'Raid', 'Total Dhamaal' among others, will be essaying the role of an Indian Air Force Wing Commander in his next film 'Bhuj: The Pride of India'.
