In the film, Freddie, initially expressed by Frank Welker, was played by Freddie Prince, Runior, and Hagi, initially expressed by Casey Casem, was played by Matthew Lillard.

Well, regardless of the "wing commander".

The "wing commander" is not well remembered by too many people. It was based on a series of video games "The Wing Commander" of the 1990s, created by Chris Roberts, who also directed the film. The games were set in the 27th century, when a war broke out between the Earth and the warfare of space cats called Kilrati. Players controlled ships commanded by Terran Confederation in setting up a space trip simulator. The games were important for their widespread use of live cuts, usually starring recognizable Hollywood and British actors such as Mark Hamil, Johnon Reese-Davis, Johnon Hurt, Malcolm McDowell, Christopher Wayken and Thomas.

The kings were tantalized by the fans of the game franchise and invited questions about whether a movie could be made. Roberts tried to make that movie in 1999, Casting Prince and Lillard, as well as saffron Barrows, David Warner and Jurgen Prohnow as wing commanders.

The film is forgotten and terrible, and he bombed at the box office.

The story of the film "Created Commander", like the games, includes the country's war/Kilrati. Kilrati has finally found a map that reveals the country's location and they intend to attack it. It depends on the wings commanders - the young confederation combat pilots - to defend the country from attack. The image of Prince, Lieutenant Colonel Maverick Blair, is a child of the first generation of Earth's space researchers, giving him a special talent for spatial navigation. Despite this, he is excavated by his commanders. Blair's best friend is Lieutenant Colonel Maniac Marshall (Lillard), and they will penetrate several reefs, both with Kilrati.

The film conspiracy is predictable, and the dialog is rotated. What could have been impressive on the video game screen in the 1990s was not so impressive in cinema. Special effects were clumsy, with Roberts using several sequences that include then modern techniques during bullets. Bullets' time to attract world audience's attention in the "matrix" Only a few weeks later, so the "wing commander" beat him. One positive thing that can be said about the "wing commander" is that her prelude from David Arnold (Stargat ") is incredible. (Seriously, it's the quality of "Starwells War".)

No one wanted the film, and was quickly kept as another example of how to adjust video games on the big screen at the time. Although the "wing commander" was ready for a film adaptation given the games that those Chinese cuts already have, the film made just $ 11 million on a modest budget of $ 25 million.

Critics did not relentlessly panic the "wing commander". There is a very low 10% approval rating of rotten tomatoes, based on 51 views. Owen Gleberman, writing about EV, gave him "F." Roger Ebert gave him only one starvetQuoting his clichés and his nonsense scientific understandings (and Ebert's they usually liked scientific films).

Films adapted from video games have fought for many years. In the 1980s and 90s, video games were not terribly sophisticated in storytelling, usually borrowing their parcels of fantastic films, action Hui and Science. During this period, Movies like Paul W.'s "Mortal Komat" Anderson They were considered high signs of water in the genre and that should tell you everything you need to know where we were in 1995.

In the end, as video games developed, they became far more sophisticated than the films in terms of length and ambitious stories. By the mid-2000s, the films had to attract matches, reducing the complex game in a traditional three-part film structure. It would not be up to the "Super Mario Bros." and "Sonic the Hedgehog" in the 2020s, video game films will become undeniable hits and well considered by critics.

The "wing commander", meanwhile, came during the painful transition of the 1990s when video game films were still considered generally unfavorable. The failure of the "wing commander" pointed out that the genre is a bad investment. It is unlikely that Prince or Lillard are highlighted at their resumes.
