The only computer game that I have liked Mark Hamill in would be Lucas Arts'
"Full Throttle". Never would have guessed it without seeing the credits.
Lost in Space was horrible. Wing Commander isn't a whole lot better, though it
is not quite as embarassingly stupid as LiS.
The presence of absence of good lead actors is not that important - what is
important is to have a good story and capable direction to transfer the story
to film. Which is where so many movies fail. In the credits, Wing Commander
is shown as being written by (I think) the same guy who wrote the story for the
video games. Which I initially saw as a positive sign. He also has directing
credit - at which point I subvocalized a "uh-oh". I predict this movie will
disappear fairly quickly from theatres.
