Wing Commander (1999)

This film would be totally unwatchable if it weren't amusing to see Freddie Prinz Jr. and Matthew Lillard fight every impulse in their bodies not to make mad, passionate love. The sparks between them are so obvious and yet, they are forced into this ridiculous film about machismo and war.

The film is based on a video game and the plot is about as original. Guys and gals fly around in spaceships and shoot stuff. Then they pull into a space station and make out. The females that the two male "actors" couple up with are pretty masculine in their own right. Lillard is teamed with an awesome  black chick and they make a great team. Too bad there in this piece of crap.

In the end, the film is so bland, even the young stars physiques don't make it worthwhile. The special effects are lame, the action sequences look ridiculous, the plot is unintelligible cliche-ridden tripe, the characters laughable, the dialogue inane, and the acting sophomoric. Truly one of the worst of 1999.
