Based on the best-selling, legendary computer- game series of the same name, the film follows the exploits of rebellious rookie space pilot Christopher Blair. Carrying an encoded message about an invasion from an alien race, Blair, his fellow maverick pilot Maniac and their superior officer, Deveraux, mobilize to evade and ultimately repel the alien attack.
The is movie has good special effects and has some of the first and second game in it. The charcters could be developed more but they were't much in the first few games so why should they be in the movie, plus most people going to the movie know the game. The actors do a good job and besides a few slow points it is a really good. It was made to go straight to video so the budget was slower than it could have been.
Also it has the new Star Wars Preview on it. This preview is really really really good. Has me ready to stand in line for tickets. SO good see the movie and enjoy both the preview and the movie.

Chan plays Lee, a Hong Kong detective who comes to Los Angeles when a Chinese diplomat’s 11-year old daughter is kidnapped by Lee’s old nemesis. The FBI guys don’t want this foreigner mucking up their case, so they saddle Lee with LAPD officer James Carter (Chris Tucker), a loose cannon reluctant to be partnered up. Naturally, the uninventive plotting takes a backseat to the culture-clash hijinks. Lee shows Carter some high-flying moves in exchange for some instruction in simple ebonics and how to get down with his bad self to the classic soul sounds of Edwin Starr’s “War”.
