Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning

[Mr. Analog]

Apparently this is a parody sci-fi film that's been in the works for 7 years, from all accounts it's pretty good stuff, check it out here:

WOW!



I thought you were referring to a silly animated Flash short series, but this actually looks like live action (trailer page) trying to capture the sparky-SFX, the uniforms, the everybody-is-humanoid alien species universe... If they have obvious social lessons and examples of The Human Spirit Overcoming Unbeatable Odds then it's like the followup to Enterprise



Prolly WAY more watchable than "Star Wars: Revelations" that we endured a while back  :roll:

The effects look great, at least in small quicktime window (ducked home at lunch, so I watched the trailer there).  I'm hoping bad acting is less of a problem when they're speaking Finnish.  We'll see.

It's actually a rather complex story, with good satire (even if you're not a big Babylon 5 fan you'll probably still chuckle at the obvious jabs) and you can barely tell some of the greenscreen scenes in the ships, that they were done literally one person at a time.



I gave it a 8/10 on IMDB, I kid you not. Worth the 95 minutes of reading subtitles and chuckling regularly



Also just heard of this one - it's like "ST:TOS Season 4"
