I watched a movie yesterday that I completely stumbled into by accident; Wing Commander. If that does not ring any bells, it’s a movie based on the same video game franchise by Chris Roberts.

Sadly I missed the first 15 minutes of the movie, and I don’t see it scheduled to play again anytime soon… but I don’t think I missed too much, other than introducing characters and perhaps a cool space battle… gah, now I wish I’d seen those 15 minutes!

I’ll avoid spoilers for the most part, in case you’ve not see the movie - but it’s about a young 1st Lieutenant Christopher Blair and his friend Lt. Todd ‘Maniac’ Marshall and their fight in the Kilrathi-Terran war.
