As far as video game movies go it was rather good. I enjoyed it, even having played most of the Wing Commander games that came before it.

I think that movie would be better received if it was released today instead of 19 years ago. We’ve had close to 20 years of comic book movies that are mostly divorced from their source to make such a source-material-disjointed movie more palatable.

"Better than the average video game movie" is not exactly a high bar to clear, though :-/

Wreck-It Ralph pulls that average up, and there's a sequel coming at some point

I don't think wreck-it-ralph is a video game movie in the sense that we are talking about (unless it's based upon a video game I've not heard of).
