a few months before the release of star wars episode 1 , the phantom menace , 20th century fox decides to release another space film , that is a complete rip off of star wars .
what is the point of this ?
i do not know ,
but
i wish it had n't been done , considering wing commander is definitely the year 's worst film so far . to attract people to this horrible movie
, they attached the full trailer for the phantom menace .
wing commander will draw large crowds , because this is the only film where you can find the phantom menace full trailer attached at this time .
the trailer for the phantom menace was certainly the best part of the movie experience i had tonight .
many people do not know that wing commander is based on a star wars computer game .
i found this very interesting , considering this fact almost says that wing commander is a star wars movie .
it is nowhere near the level of the star wars films though .
freddie prinze jr .
stars in the film as christopher blair .
wing commander was a huge mistake for freddie .
this was definitely his worst performance to date .
after january 's she 's all that , i actually saw a good actor in freddie , but now all those visions have been crushed .
( for now anyway . )
christopher blair is a pilot who is a part of the battle to stop the kilrathi , a group that is trying to destroy the earth .
blair 's parents also fought in the space battles , and also died there .
his parents were pilgrims , so many people disrespect him because of this .
blair is under the command of " angel " , played by saffron burrows , and he is friends with another pilot , todd " maniac marshall " , played by matthew lillard .
matthew lillard seems to play the same role in every movie , and he does in this one too .
his character as stu in 1996 's scream ( a+ ) , was a great one , but now , it seems like that same role is being played again , only in a space movie .
the three are just a small part of a large group trying to stop the kilrathi before they take over earth .
this plot is very flimsy , and does n't give a whole lot to work with at all .
this explains why wing commander drags on , seeming like there is no point to any of the events that are going on .
the acting is horrible in wing commander .
many lines seem out of place , and are completely meaningless .
the acting and dialogue was so terrible
, i even found myself laughing at it .
the other things which are very bad about wing commander are the special effects and the music .
the special effects are very unrealistic .
when looking at two ships flying side by side , it is simple to tell they are hanging and a blue screen is behind them .
the explosions look very unrealistic as well .
a ship will be blown up , but there will only be fire present four about one half of a second .
this is very unrealistic .
music pretty much accompanies the film the entire time .
the music also felt like video game music , and it was very corny and annoying sounding
.
after we are given the plot , the film repeats itself for another hour , without any plot twists , interesting scenes , or anything important to the film .
blair is forced to make jumps over other planets , and he must also fight against the kilrathi aircraft .
for the entire length of the movie , it takes place in space .
it is truly like you are in a video game , because you are just watching people shoot at each other in ships for a long , extended period of time .
it 's not much fun to watch at all .
if i wanted to watch people shoot at each other in ships , i would go watch star wars at home .
at least star wars pays attention to people , myth , feelings , and has some real plot to it .
the bottom line- bring on the phantom menace 20th century fox !
