Synopsis:
He Didn't Find His Dreams. . .His Dreams Found Him.
Millions of light-years ago, a great frontier was constructed in the universe to protect the star League of Planets from its enemy, the evil KO-DAN. But now a defector has given the key to the frontier to the KO-DAN, and Starfighters from throughout the galaxy are needed to defend the peace. One recruiter, the alien scalawag Centauri, visits Earth to fill his quota of recruits and finds Alex, an 18-year-old Earthling with an extraordinary talent for video game wizardry. Alex is quickly propelled into the regions of outer space to join others from planets throughout the Star League to fight a war to save the universe.
Pas un chef d'oeuvre mais un film de science-fiction de série B nostalgique (et fort sympathique) qui débarquera le 18 septembre en HD-DVD.
Et comme c'est universal qui s'y colle, les stf sur le film et les suppléments seront donc normalement de mise.
Par ailleurs, le DVD étant en 4/3 et non 16/9, l'apport de la HD sera forcément évident.
