Opening of the movie about young space pilot, the half-pilgrim Christopher Blair. Based on the Wing Commander saga. It has been criticized much but is still a good scifi to watch.

Nov 18, 2008 - I don't understand how any of the game's fans could be content with the Wing Commander movie. I absolutely loved playing Wing Command 1, 2, 3, and 4; but this film was a serious let-down.

Nov 18, 2008 - I loved the game series when I was a kid, I was let down by this movie alot :/. Mainly I thought the way they did the Kilrathi was a insult to them. Seriously, the battle were ok, but the story was bad at times as well as the characters. Maybe someone can resurrect the franchise...

Nov 18, 2008 - I wonder if anyone can apply this to WC4 either as a trailer or an opening for the game, I would do it but I'm not as good as some of you guys who make these things possible.

Nov 18, 2008 - Unfortunately, "Wing Commander" has gotten blasted quite a bit by Hollywood critics and many viewers for a lot of reasons. The Hollywood people don't like it because its not Shakespeare. Many of the viewers didn't like it because they were players of the Wing Commander game and the movie is different from the game.However, when judged on its own merits, "Wing Commander" is a decent space adventure film. So what if it is not Shakespeare and so what if its different from the game? This film -->

Nov 18, 2008 - combines fantastic special effects, great battle sequences, and rather compelling characters and character conflicts. We have Lt. Blair who must deal with his half Pilgrim heritage. We have Lt. Marshall who's recklessness gets him into trouble. We have Lt. Commander Deveraux, a woman who's cold exterior is her defense against loosing friends to the war. Then there is Taggert, a wise space pilot who has a hidden identity.All of this makes "Wing Commander" a space adventure film worth seeing -->

Nov 18, 2008 - If one does not nitpick the film to death, "Wing Commander" is a fun and enjoyable film for science fiction fans. Don't listen to the critics and the disgruntled fans of the Wing Commander game. If your looking for a fun scifi film, get "Wing Commander".

Nov 18, 2008 - yeah i agreeits not a great film by any standard, but its an okay rentalit could have been alot more though. i kind of was hoping for something like a movie version of Space: Above and Beyond (minus the on-foot scenes; just space battles).Also the chicks in the movie weren't very cute. I wouldn't let that black chick anywhere near my flight stick.

Nov 18, 2008 - haha... yea a true, probobly one of the epic opening scene in history. and it sound like Starship Troopers theme song...

Nov 18, 2008 - The Wing Commander series of games utterly kicked ass from start to finish. In the days before X-wing, or any of the other Star Wars ship games it was simply the best there was. I sat in the theatre and was utterly blown away by this opening. And then we were all brought crashing back to earth by the utterly lousy film. I think the worst part for me personally was seeing aircraft props from a WW2 movie passed off as space fighters. Still pisses me off nearly 10 years later.

Nov 18, 2008 - Amazing what a good overture can do for a film. Awesome, have this in MP3

Nov 18, 2008 - It is definately a ok-film, but even with the small budget they could have made so much more with the cool concept.

Nov 18, 2008 - "Many years ago, the great british explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest was asked why did he want to find it.He said "becouse it's there". And the space it's there, and we are going to find it.And the moon and the planets are there. And new hopes for knowledge and peace are thereAnd therefore as we set sail, we ask god's blessing on the most hazardous, and dangerous, and greatestadventure on wich men has ever embarked. Thank you."

Nov 18, 2008 - Too bad the rest of the movie wasn't this good.

Nov 18, 2008 - I love how they did this opening.Yea it wasn't that great a movie, but they did a decent job overall.
tascott59 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - This opening belongs to the first Wing Commander game or perhaps the 4th installment.
