Yesterday I went to the movie premiere in Oldenburg. There was just one theatre to show it (in it's smallest showroom). There were at most 10 or 12 people present (definately no WC fans beside of me). No trailers, no advertising, no service and the girl that checked the tickets was ugly as hell.
The movie itself was great. The dialogue was much better than in the original and the synchronisation was excellent. The only thing that bothered me were the Kilrathi voices (by the way, they were pronounced "Kilrati" with a German `R`). They sounded like grolling Norwegian blackmetallers. But altogether it was a great space-war-movie which can compete with other current science fiction.
I was there with 2 friends who hadn't known much about Wing Commander before. They both liked it, and none of them had problems understanding the plot. In spite of it, I don't think that they'll become fans.
