I just saw a sci fi movie called Wing Commander.

Bloody awful.

1. Had I known

I would have warned you. Saw it for free at the theater and paid too much.

2. Wing Commander? The one with Mark Hamil in it?

3. Probably the one with Freddie Prinze, Matthew Lillard and Saffron Burrows.

I don't know if Mark Hamill was it or not, but it wouldn't surprise me; he'd done substantial voice acting in both the game series and a short-lived animated children's cartoon tie-in. It was a shitty movie based off a very good video game series I wish they'd make a new game for. But the film...they threw every second-rate teen movie actor and sci-fi veteran of 1999 they could get into a cast and tried to cover up for the fact that the script was terrible, advanced the story in no way and literally tried to remake the original game mission-by-mission into a film.

4. That's the one.

Freddie Prinz Gellar in one of his best efforts (which ain't saying much) and Matthew Lillard in his worst effort ever (which says a lot).

I also got a little dizzy watching Tcheky Karyo, Jurgen Prochnow, and David Suchet chewing up the same scenery. I'm not used to seeing them all at once. Very disconcerting.

The aliens sucked. The story sucked. (Actually, the backstory was one I'd be more interested in.)

Usually I can watch a cheesy space opera and take it for what it's worth. But the way they phoned it in at the end of the movie was just plain insulting.
