Thanks, Lara (July 1, 2001)

The Syndney Morning Herald ran an article called Joystick Flicks -- about video game to movie conversions. Wing Commander is, naturally, mentioned -- and it's given what might be the best possible review for our purposes... (Thanks for the information, Kn'thrak!)

Street Fighter turned out to be another lame Van Damme bruiser despite Kylie's efforts; and Mortal Kombat and Wing Commander, although faithful to the atmosphere of their virtual counterparts, didn't have the depth to appeal to casual viewers.
