Father Geek here at Geek Headquarters with a brief look at the sneak preview of WING COMMANDER held up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I've seen this film and really enjoyed it, though I felt it would have been for better with the orginal gaming cast. I simply don't understand the change. Oh,well, here's an Okie's point of view...
Well I just got home from a sneak preview here in Tulsa. I think it;s the first review so I'm not typing much! It's "original but disappointing." But not soo-bad that you should avoid it, and nobody walked out.. There was no SW trailer. I have played the games and they tied a lot fo stuff in there, but I was surprised how much they tried to fit in. When you hear all the familiar names with an audience who doesn't know any of it (I assume) you realize there is too much. Anyhow the effects were good, colorful anyway, and it definitely has a war style all of its own, I didn't think it was ripping off anything particular. The story is a bit kiddie-like. I have to go see it again to absorb it all. They did change quite a bit of stuff from the games, but I don';t have a problem with that unlike some of my friends.
