Great Film overall

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I really don't know why all the hate about this film. I remembered liking it quite a bit years ago and honestly after viewing it after all these years I can see where many aspects of this gave birth to the ever popular Battle Star Galactica saga.This movie is a well balanced whole package film. I love Sci-Fi movies and outer space movies as a whole and there's no reason why this movie shouldn't hit the mark and quite honestly I'm astounded as to why it has such a low rating. I normally would rank this movie as an 8 to 9 but since it's had such bad markings I've upped it to all I could. And I'm rating this as a 14 year old flick at that...In short, if you like Sci-Fi's, space travel, space battles, the whole BSG theme, then one would think you should like this. Again I'm astounded as to why this movie hit such a ditch when it came to ratings and such, a very entertaining flick at least by my standards

Ten years after the Wing Commander released, it is still the best sci-fi movie ever made!It would have been fun with a renewal of this film for the story is great and I think it would be a hit movie.I like everything in this film from the actors to the effects and story. Given when the film was made, it is clearly the best film I've seen in the last 10 years! i would like to see more films and series like Wing Commander and Space above and beyond to come in the future! I hope that the film industry is listening to us sci-fi enthusiasts! But no more Steven Spielberg series because he destroys everything he does.

I understand that many dismiss the film because it didn't stay true enough to the universe established in the video game. On the other hand, there are those like me who know nothing about the game and watched the film due to interest in things sci-fi in general and the film delivered on that end. Much of the premise and cultural setting reminded me of the original Battlestar Galactica. There are some really good fighting scenes, but, most of all, it's a sci-fi movie that is actually in space - for the whole length of the film (which I do appreciate) - not hiding on some Earth-like planet.The film features some strong female characters, but, as pointed out by others, some aspects are regular Hollywood fare. I really liked the pilgrim mythology. Putting aside any relationship to the video game, the film is fun, has its emotional moments and features some great visuals.

Wing Commander has to be one of the worst video game adapted screenplays to be released of all time, along with Street Fighter. The visual effects very abysmal, the acting and performances were atrocious, and the look of the whole movie is just atrocious. However I did like the performances by Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Saffron Burrows. This movie looks like it was made by somebody who was high off of his butt. What was the director thinking. Of all the people to direct it, it was directed by the guy who created the video game which got very good reviews. If you want to see a good video game adapted screenplay, I would recommend the first Mortal Kombat movie. Not the second one. That one is a total disaster like this movie. Do not bother with Wing Commander one. It is just a waste of time.
