CineMax Showing High Definition Wing Commander This Week Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Fans who missed January's high definition broadcasts of the Wing Commander movie on HBO HD have a new opportunity to catch all the sharp details again. (Cine)Max High Definition will be airing the 1920x1080 res version this Monday morning and again on Friday evening. There are also several regular showings on Action Max and Cinemax throughout the remainder of the month. Although 20th Century Fox has not announced a Blueray edition of the Wing Commander movie yet, the heavy broadcast rotation and fact that a high res cut was already produced should increase the likelihood that everyone will be able to purchase a copy at a later date. But for now, these are the only two opportunities that show up on the radar for the next couple months. Have fun.

In the year 2564, a rookie fighter pilot and his pals hold the fate of the human race in their hands during an outer-space war between humans and a nasty race of aliens. Based on a popular video game. Also with Tcheky Karyo, Jurgen Prochnow (The Seventh Sign), David Suchet and David Warner (Titanic).

Check Out Videos From The Other Side Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Mark from QDQP let us know that his site now hosts a Command & Conquer movie archive. He has converted the game's intro and ending movies, mission briefings and a few critical plot sequences into divx files for nostalgic fans to check out. We've occasionally referred to Command & Conquer as a sibling series and one of the few non-Wing Commander franchises to successfully employ full motion video. The original C&C in 1995 used similar techniques to Wing Commander 3's green screen overlays for its CGI. Some of the earliest fan videos I saw in the mid nineties combined elements from WC3 and Tiberian Dawn in an exciting mix. C&C First Decade was the first game to reveal Wing Commander Privateer's involvement in a new EA/GameTap partnership this spring.

My current project is to rip all the FMVs from the games (game intro, game endings, mission briefings etc). Since C&C and Wing Commander 3-4-P are from the same era maybe it is nice to make a comparison between the FMVs of both game series.
Due to space and bandwidth constraints, this is the only game in the series that Mark currently plans to post.
