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!
