Average Rating: 2.8/10

Consensus: The low budget may explain Wing Commander's cheesy special effects, but can't excuse the lame dialogue or the movie's obsessive reliance on sci-fi cliches.

Runtime: 1 hr 39 mins

Genre: Science-Fiction/Fantasy

Synopsis: A sci-fi actioner in which the inhabitants of a mid-27th century world come under attack by the evil Kilrathi Empire. The crew of the TCS Tiger Claw must distract the Kilrathi while reinforcements arrive to save the day....

As an action film, Wing Commander lacks any original ideas of its own.
