Overview
In the mid-27th century, the Terran Confederation is at war with the vicious alien Kilrathi Empire. When the Kilrathi capture a crucial navigational device that could lead them to Earth, the Confederation’s only hope rests with a small group of young fighter pilots. Lieutenant Christopher Blair, along with his wingman Todd 'Maniac' Marshall and Commander Jeanette 'Angel' Deveraux, must intercept the alien fleet and prevent the destruction of mankind. Battling overwhelming odds and racing against time, they face not only external threats but also inner fears and rivalries as they fight to save Earth from annihilation.

I love my old science fiction - it's the one area that Netflix/Amazon etc. never seem to cover properly - so I still tend to buy discs. Luckily I got this for under £5. I thought the cast looked ok, so figured it couldn't be that bad. The score is suitably galactic and the special effects are not too bad at all; but the acting is eclipsed only in naffness by the script. Freddie Prinze Jr & Matthew Lillard are a couple of relief pilots being sent to a battle cruiser in the middle of a war between Earth and the "Kilrathi" with a top secret message. Saffron Burrows joins in as their squadron leader and off we go to save mankind. No word of a lie, but the acting is shocking. David's Warner and Suchet must have needed the fee; and Jürgen Prochnow and Tchéky Karyo are as wooden as the plywood sets. I would see it again, but not willingly!
