Review title: Give me the GAME!!
Product review: I saw this in the theatres, and was completely and utterly disappointed. Almost everything that made the game fun and its cinematics intriguing is missing here. The games had better actors and a darker tone than the "oh-wow-look-at-me-I'm-in-a-CGI-scene" feel of this (junk). I tried to take the movie on its own terms, but just couldn't let go of the fact that the material had taken a step down from its roots rather than a step up (for comparison, look at TV's atrocioius intrepretation of You Don't Know Jack). I still can't figure why they went with different actors. McDowell, Hamill, Wilson and the others in the game at least lent a gave a sense of gravity to the events swirling around them. The ships looks better in the game, and even, dare I say it, the Kilrathi. Bottom line: Boot your PC up in DOS mode (if you still remember how) and pop in WingCommander 3 or 4. Leave this "film" on the shelf or have a stiff drink when you catch it on cable.
