Oh my holy God, this is a terrible movie. It took me over a week to watch it. I just couldn't subject myself to more than about 20 minutes at a time. Blair (Freddie Prinze, Jr.) is assigned to be a new pilot for the Terran Federation in their ongoing war against the Kilrathi, for reasons not explained in this film. His commander (Tcheky Karyo) discovers that the Kilrathi fleet has stolen coordinates to Terran space and will be making a surprise attack on Earth before the Terran Federation ships can get into position. Their only hope is to send a ship ahead through uncharted space to warn the fleet while the rest of the battle group delays the Kilrathi from making the jump.
This is an unrelentingly stupid movie chock full of shitty special effects, a cliché-ridden script, and pasteboard characters. It was made in 1999 but looks at least a decade older and wastes enormously popular (for 1999) actors like Prinze, Matthew Lillard, and Saffron Burrows.
Honestly, this is just godawful. I mean, it --
Wait. What?
Oh.
Oh, it's a video game adaptation. Ohhhhhhhhh, that makes so much more sense now.
Tom and Daniel made me watch this too...The remember it fondly as a bad movie based on a good game.
