Long Live the Confederation!
Here's a Wing Commander review from Viper -- it's from a magazine called Ciné-Live.
In 655 years, space adventures of a team of shock confronted with an unpleasant species of small beasts, the Kilrathi, on corridors of navigation in the hyperspace, trapped as an underwood in period of the hunting and, worst undoubtedly, with a production whose budget would make laugh many credit institutions. This film is before intended for all those, rather young, who liked the video game which it takes as a starting point. One would expect to find the shiver sympathetic nerve of the pleasure of playing ... Beautiful challenge when one knows the degrees of requirement which testifies this public.Unfortunately, as for the game, it is very difficult not to think of some other adventures cosmic. (like Star Wars).Special effects also suffer from an obvious lack of means. And we feel that the ellipses are there as much to circumvent a scene in CGI, that a budget which one could describe as 0. And all this would be still excusable without this extremely debatable esthetics néo archaic and a realization where each shock confere with the camera a extatic stability of power pick. RegretIn 2 words: which is the common point between the space vacuum, a black hole and the script of this film?0 / 4 stars
