In Space, No One Should Hear You Fullscreen
Think you've seen the whole picture when it comes to the Wing Commander movie? Well, you probably have -- so now it's time for you to see even less! Thanks to the recent Brazilian release of the movie, you can see the movie's awkward fullscreen transfer... previously available only on the VHS and now-unwatchable Divx releases of the film. You haven't truly lived until you've experienced awkward pans over characters and strangely squashed CGI scenes. You can find a copy available for purchase here. As a matter of fact, the staff is watching this version of the movie right now!
